Rental Payment, Rental Contract Requirements and Credit Accounts:
All rentals require a deposit or are paid in advance. NTR accepts either a
valid credit card or an open check as a deposit for rentals. All persons
renting must also supply a valid drivers license and jobsite location for
security reasons and sign the contract and inspection forms before equipment
can be delivered or picked up. Commercial accounts may complete an online credit
application and may be eligible to open an account subject to approval of their
application. For more information on opening account, contact our administrative
office at (404) 237-9515.
Insurance:
The customer is responsible for all loss, damage, vandalism and theft, to
tools and equipment while on rent. Northside Tool Rental does not provide
insurance coverage for equipment while off our property. Participation in
our Damage Waiver program helps customers off-set some of this expense. Please
see the section on Loss/Damage Waiver program for details.
Delivery:
All rentals are quoted from an NTR location. Customer is responsible for
charges to and from the job site. Please call for our reasonable delivery rates.
Service:
All tools and equipment are delivered cleaned, serviced, full of fuel and
in operative condition. All tools and equipment are to be returned to NTR in
like condition. On long-term rentals, customer is responsible for following
the manufacturers suggested service policy while on rent. Normal daily and periodic
servicing is to include checking and maintaining fluid levels (oil, water,
antifreeze, etc) and tire wear. Customer is responsible for flat tires and
tire abuse/damage. Customer is responsible for contacting NTR immediately upon
any loss, damage or mechanical failures of equipment.
Safety and Security:
Customer is responsible for understanding or furnishing qualified operators to
insure the safe operation of equipment. Customer is responsible for use and
maintenance of the equipments safety features during the rental period, i.e.
seat belts, ROPS canopies, safety harnesses, etc. Customer is responsible for
using the equipment or tool for the application it is suited for and is responsible
for safeguarding the equipment from theft, damage or roll-over while on rent.
