Any odor, ash, butts, or similar evidence of smoking in rental equipment will result in a non-negotiable $150 cleaning fee. If RENTER has concerns about odor or other smoking evidence, this must be addressed and documented at the beginning of the rental, otherwise renter will be held responsible.
Fuel
RENTER hereby agrees to the following:
Your machine will arrive "Full" on fuel. MOST of our machines are Diesel-powered, but not all. You do not have to refuel your machine at the end of your rental. We will fuel the machine after your rental and bill you a flat rate fee of $5.25/gallon. If you choose to self-refill, please ensure and double check you are using the correct fuel. If you accidentally use the wrong fuel DO NOT start the machine and contact us immediately. If you use the wrong fuel you will be charged a non-negotiable $250 fine in addition to downtime, full repair costs, transportation, and any other associated expense/damages as outlined in the above contract
Tires – Damage / Flat Tires / Etc
PLEASE BE SURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST BRAKE CONTROLLERS BEFORE OPERATING A TRAILER. Not only is this a safety issue, but excessive braking significantly contributes to tire wear and/or failure. Any “flat spots” will require complete tire replacement and RENTER will be billed for such. This applies even if the rest of the tire is acceptable.
Renter is expected and libale to cover the full OEM replacement cost, plus downtime and labor, for any machine (or trailer) returned with a tire that requires replacement. There is NO “depreciation” factor in replacement cost invoicing.
Before operating the rented equipment, trailer, or item/s check the site for debris or terrain that could cause damage to the item/s or tires. Be aware of roadway or worksite debris and/or damage that could cause damage to the rented item/s. In most instances, damage to tires is caused by conditions of a job/work site, roadway, or striking objects (such as curbs, rebar, and holes) during use. As such, payment for ALL tire replacement is considered the responsibility of the RENTER, unless otherwise proven. In the event of a flat tire, the customer must call OWNER for repair. Again, tire repair is at customer's expense in almost all cases. The Boyz Rentals does NOT repair tires, ever. ANY damage will result in full replacement due to safety concerns. OWNER is NOT responsible for any and all tire damage, wheel damage, similar, or less during the rental period. Please inspect tires prior to rental for good operating condition. There is NO “depreciation” factor in replacement cost invoicing.
Service Call fee's apply as described below for any and all tire repair, replacement, or similar unless there is irrefutable evidence that the tire incident was at no fault of RENTER.
Tracks – Damage / Derailment / Etc
PLEASE BE SURE TO PROPERLY CHECK AND ADJUST THE TENSION ON TRACK IDLERS DAILY BEFORE BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. If you have questions on this, please ask!!! Not only is this a safety issue, but with use track idlers will become loose which significantly contributes to derailment, wear, and/or track failure. Any and all damage, excess wear, derailment, or similar of the track is ALWAYS found at the responsibility of the RENTER unless there is irrefutable evidence that the incident was at no fault of RENTER.
AGAIN: ANY EXCESSIVE WEAR, DAMAGE, DERAILMENT OR OTHER RELATED OCCURRENCE REQUiRING TRACK REPLACEMENT DURING YOUR RENTAL PERIOD IS THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RENTER, UNLESS THERE IS ABSOLUTE, “CONCRETE”, AND IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE INCIDENT WAS AT NO FAULT OF THE RENTER.
The Boyz Rentals ONLY uses OEM tracks on all machines. Renter is expected and liable to cover the full OEM replacement cost, plus downtime and labor, for any machine returned with a track that required replacement. There is NO “depreciation” factor in replacement cost invoicing.
The Boyz Rentals has tracked data relating a high volume of track damage and excessive wear to rocky, unstable terrain. The Boyz Rentals reserves the right to increase rental rates to customers operating in this, or other terrain likely to cause excessive wear, to offset the costs from the increased wear and secondary maintenance. This DOES NOT release renter from any financial responsibility from track damage or wear that requires replacement of the track.
Before accepting delivery of, or leaving The Boyz Rentals property please check the condition of the tracks and address ANY concerns with The Boyz Rentals representative. Once your rental begins ANY and ALL damage, excessive wear, derailments, or similar event to the tracks is considered RENTER's responsibility. Before operating the rented equipment or item/s check the site for debris or terrain that could cause damage to the item/s or tracks. Be aware of roadway or worksite debris and/or damage that could cause damage, excessive wear, derailment, or similar to the rented item/s. In almost all instances, damage to tracks is caused by conditions of a job/work site, roadway, operator error, or striking objects (such as curbs, rocks, rebar, and holes) during use. As such, payment for ALL track replacement, realignment, or similar is considered the responsibility of the RENTER, unless otherwise proven. In the event of a broken track, derailment, or similar, the RENTER must call OWNER for repair. Again, track repair is at customer's expense in almost all cases. The Boyz Rentals does NOT repair tracks, ever. ANY significant damage or excessive wear will result in full replacement due to safety and reliability concerns. OWNER is NOT responsible for any and all damage or excessive wear to the track, idler, gears, drive assembly, similar or less during the rental period. Please inspect tracks and aforementioned assemblies prior to rental for good operating condition. There is NO “depreciation” factor in replacement cost invoicing.
Service Call fee's apply as described below for any and all track repair, replacement, or similar unless there is irrefutable evidence that the tire incident was at no fault of RENTER.
Concrete
ANY CONCRETE OR SIMILAR MATERIAL ALLOWED TO DRY/HARDEN ON THE MACHINE, BUCKETS, WHEELS, OR ANY OTHER SURFACE WILL RESULT IN A MINIMUM OF A $250 FEE IN ADDITION TO CLEANING AND/OR REMOVAL FEE’S.
Please take care of our machine’s so we can continue to serve you

RENTER shall follow all DOT, state, and federal laws regarding weight limits and transport regulations. If RENTER has any questions regarding the weight capacity or limits of their rented item/s, they must contact OWNER immediately for clarification. Under no circumstance is overloading acceptable or legal. I RENTER, acknowledge this and my responsibility for any damages or losses associated with exceeding the weight capacity of a trailer. RENTER also acknowledges a non-negotiable $250 fee for any discovered evidence or electronic alert of overloading. All equipment is monitored 24/7 via GPS.

The max speed limit of 70 MPH does not matter if the trailer is loaded or empty. Under no circumstance shall a rented trailer exceed 70 MPH. RENTER acknowledges the increased risk of crashes and damage while speeding with a trailer in tow. Additionally, RENTER acknowledges the safe speed rating of trailer tires is not the same as vehicle tires, and severely limits the safe maximum speed of the trailer. All equipment is monitored 24/7 via GPS and may be equipped with speed alerts to OWNER.
Roadway Tolls
The RENTER agrees not to utilize any Express Lanes, Toll Roads, or other charged-per-use roadways (“Toll roads") during the rental period.

The Renter acknowledges that all tolls must be paid promptly and agrees to reimburse OWNER for any toll-related charges and the usage fee that may be billed to the Company after the rental period. Failure to comply with this provision will result in additional fees and penalties, billed at 2x the rate compounded weekly until paid.
Service Calls
RENTER hereby understand the following “Service Call” Fee Schedule
OWNER hereby agrees to make themselves readily available by phone, during normal business hours; for technical advise, guidance, troubleshooting, and similar. If RENTER is unable to problem solve via phone and request field service/visit/guidance the fee is IMMEDIATELY applied. If RENTER advises they were operating their rental equipment and caused damage needing immediate repair, the fee is IMMEDIATELY applied. Once applied the fee is irrevocable for any circumstance, outside of discovery that the issue was in fact at no fault of the renter/operator. In the event of a “Turn Around” or cancel request after the service call has been dispatched RENTER shall pay actual mileage driven, plus 10%. There is a minimum 10 mile fee.
Example:
1- Renter is attempting to use a winch on a trailer, but fails to turn on the battery isolating switch, and requests field service. The dispatch representative or mechanic has driven 15 miles and Renter attempts to cancel after turning on the switch. Renter will pay $125 + $57.75 (16.5 miles).
2- Renter is operating a skid steer and an mechanical code displays on the machine. Renter contacts The Boyz Rentals and they dispatch a representative and/or mechanic. The responding representative arrives and discovers the code is of mechanical nature and of no fault of the renter. There is NO fee.

This excludes customer liability from existing damage and a reasonable amount of “normal” wear and tear, such as paint scratches.
The OWNER’s invoice for replacement or repair is final and conclusive as to the amount RENTER shall pay for repair or replacement.

Towing/Vehicle Requirements
Based upon information provided by insurance sources indicating a high correlation in accidents/claims involving short-wheelbase tow vehicles and tandem axle trailers we recommend the following guidelines:
- Tandem axle trailers, including tow dollies, require a tow vehicle with a minimum wheelbase of 120 inches. The wheelbase measurement being made between the front and rear axle centers. This will also apply to towed trailers with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) in excess of 2000 lbs. - In addition, our larger/heavier trailers will require a “3/4 ton” or larger chassis. Most 24' or larger trailers require a minimum 3/4-ton, full size, domestic pick-up truck with a 133 inch minimum wheelbase. Notable exceptions to this are the Ford Excursion and ¾-ton Chevrolet Suburban meeting the minimum wheelbase requirements.
The Boyz Trailers, LLC reserves the right to deny use of any vehicle we feel may not be appropriate or safe.
Hitch Requirements
An adequate hitch is also necessary. The hitch must be rated for at least 1.25x the total combined GVWR of the trailer. For tandem axle trailers and all trailers greater than 3500 lb. GVWR, a minimum class 3 receiver-type hitch is required. A hitch or bumper is rated to its capacity, not that of the vehicle, and either may be less. A single-piece, solid, machined ball, with proper shank diameter must be used. Non-rated bushing or shims to increase the shank size shall not be used.
Delivery Policies
Call ahead to make arrangements (for an additional fee) to have one of our drivers deliver the rental right to you. Our drivers also take the time to show the basic operating functions of the rented equipment, trailer, or item/s before heading off on their next run. Delivery charges are subject to change and in many cases based on the distance of the delivery site. Rental rates on delivered trailers are a minimum 1-day charge. The customer must call to request pickup when completed unless a time is prearranged. The Boyz Rentals does not automatically pick up when the rental is scheduled to end. Failure to call or arrange for pick up on time will result in additional charges for rental.
Card on File
I, RENTER, hereby authorize the business (The Boyz Rentals) to keep my credit card on file for any future transactions, no-show, cancellation, late fee's, damage during my rental, or other loss from the business associated with my reservation/rental.
I understand that the terms of this authorization will remain in effect. I acknowledge that I am responsible for making any change to the card on file or cancellation of file requests in writing.

In the event that I discover ANY damage, wear, concern, or other issues during the inspection process, I agree not to use the winch and promptly inform OWNER to address the situation. This proactive approach is essential to ensure the winch operates effectively and safely, minimizing the risk of accidents or damage during its use. By adhering to this clause, both parties agree to prioritize safety over all else.
Misconduct
