Do you charge for delivery?

Essential Rentals delivers to most Cape Cod locations east of the Cape Cod Canal, subject to availability. All orders have a one time $25.00 processing fee.

Orders placed within 7 days of arrival are assessed an additional $25 late order fee (i.e. an order for Saturday delivery must be placed by midnight on the previous FRIDAY). Orders placed for same-day or next day delivery have a total of a $50 RUSH FEE in addition to the $25 processing.

For example, an order placed on July 1st for delivery on July 4th would be charged the flat $25.00 processing fee AND a $25.00 late fee.

What does the processing fee cover? This fee helps us provide for insurance, which is difficult to attain in this industry, maintain memberships in industry trade groups, and advocate in support of local tourism ventures.

Can I rent items for less than a week, and do you have daily rates?
You can rent items for any number of days that you want, however we do not have "daily" or pro-rated weekly rates. If you wish to reserve an item for three days, you will be charged the full weekly rate. If you wish to rent an item for 8 days, you will be responsible for the additional weekly charge. Similarly, if an item is only available for 5 days, the weekly rate still applies. Please call the office if you have a unique situation and we will do our best to work with you.

Is your crib really full size?

ABSOLUTELY! Our solid wood crib is a full size sleeping crib (not a pack 'n play, though we rent those too) with an industry standard 28" x 52" sleep surface.  

What if I have to cancel my order?
Orders cancelled more than one week prior to delivery will receive a full refund, less the $25.00 processing fee. Any cancellation within 7 days prior to delivery will be issued a store credit, less the $25.00 processing fee. As of delivery day, no refunds are issued.

Can I order items last minute?

Due to our volume of deliveries, any last minute orders placed for delivery within 7 days of arrival are subject to a $25.00 late order fee. For orders placed for same-day or next-day delivery, this increases to a $50.00 RUSH FEE.

Can we pick up our rental items?

At this time, our warehouse is not equipped to accomodate pickups by customers. Essential Rentals delivers and picks up all rental items on the days of your arrival and departure.

When will my items be delivered?
We deliver every day, except Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, subject to availability.

You do not have to be present for us to deliver your rental equipment.  Your items will be left in a protected area whenever possible, except hotel orders which will be left inside. 

We guarantee delivery by 7:00 pm on the day of your arrival, or we will credit you your $25 processing fee. Although we cannot guarantee a particular delivery time (unless Express Delivery is requested, see below), even in peak season, 99.9% of our deliveries are complete by 6:00 pm.

Most of our deliveries are on Saturdays, so if your items have not arrived by 6:00, please call our office at 508.398.3685 for a status update.

Please leave your rental items outside of your rental when you depart.

To guarantee delivery before 3:00 pm on your arrival date, select the
"Express Delivery" option ($50.00 additional fee).

Based on availability, you may upgrade your order to Express Delivery for $50.00. This will guarantee your items will be delivered by 3:00 pm.

PLEASE NOTE: Bikes, Kayaks and SUPs are not eligible for Express Delivery at this time.

What happens if I lose a rental item?

For all rentals, you will be charged for any missing or damaged items. We often offer used equipment for sale at greatly reduced prices – simply give us a call at 508.398.3685.

I was hoping to rent an item but I don’t see it in your catalog.

If you have a special request for a rental item, please contact us at 1-877-377-3685. If we cannot get what you are looking for, we will refer you to someone who can.

What is the best way to place an order?

We have made it very easy for you to make a rental reservation. You may order

1) ONLINE at www.essentialrentals.com (using our secure online website) or

2) by PHONE at 1-877-377-3685;

For best availability, please place your order at 2 weeks prior to your check-in day. Availability cannot be guaranteed without payment.

Is it safe to provide my credit card information online?

Essential Rentals Inc. utilizes the most state of the art encryption technology (SSL or secured socket layer) to ensure that your credit card and personal information is protected.

As you move through our secure online ordering system, you can be assured of data security when you see https in the URL and the secure lock icon at the left of the URL panel in your browser window.

If you would prefer to provide your credit card information over the phone, you can place your order online and select "phone/fax" as your payment method. You may then call us to provide your credit card information.

If we do not have payment one week prior to your arrival, your reservation will be released for other customers.

If you have any questions, please call toll free 1.877.377.3685 or email us.
