Tools & Truck Rentals at The Home Depot Near You

The Home Depot Rental Center at South Elgin

When it's time to make the leap into a big DIY project, you might not have everything you need to get the job done. Don't let that stop you when you can stop by The Home Depot South Elgin Tool and Truck Rental Center.

Tool Rental
Start your next home improvement project with confidence and the right tools for the job. Let The Home Depot South Elgin Tool Rental Center expand your toolbox with the tools you don't have on hand. Rent what you need and bring them back when the job is done. In fact, if you found the tools so useful that you didn't want to return them, we have used tools available for purchase. The retired rental tools are discounted compared to the new items in our aisles.

Leaf Blowers
Try renting a leaf blower to blow leaves away. Fall will be here before you know it, so have a leaf blower ready to go. It's much easier than raking. It's also easier on hardscaping surfaces, concrete sidewalks, and driveways. Choose from backpack, walk-behind, or handheld leaf blowers.

Chainsaws
Maintain the beauty and safety of the trees and woody shrubs in your yard with a rental chainsaw. As this likely isn't a tool you'll need daily, it makes sense to rent it when it's time for some yard cleanup. When the leaves are off the trees, it's much easier to spot any troublesome branches and do basic trimming. We carry gas and electric chainsaws, so we know you'll find one that fits the job.

Heaters
There's nothing better than a comfortable room, so be sure to check out our heater rentals. Portable heaters keep outdoor events, barns, or workspaces warm. They're safer than torch patio heaters because they have no open flame, and they also blow hot air for more coverage. We offer electric, gas, and propane heaters in a range of sizes. Couple this with good outdoor lighting, and you can extend work or play well into the evening hours.

Truck Rental
To move large tool rentals or anything else, we keep pickup trucks as well as Penske moving trucks ready for rental, with availability varying by store. You're sure to find the right size truck rental for your DIY project so you can keep your timeline running smoothly. As your trusted source for storage needs, DIY projects, and packing, it's easy to make us your go-to source for transport and moving as well.

Box Truck Rentals
If you need a 12-foot box truck for a small move, we've got just what you need. Our rental box trucks are a terrific solution for cross-town moves. Use it for transporting extra belongings to a storage space as well. Get your truck, pack it full, then bring it back to that same store when you're done.

Penske Moving Trucks
You're comfortable completing your DIY projects with The Home Depot. Do the same when it's time to relocate to a new space. We carry Penske moving trucks ranging from 12-foot to 26-foot lengths. Use our trucks to haul all your belongings, from everything in a college dorm or small apartment to the contents of a 5-bedroom house.



To get tools and transportation for your DIY or home improvement project, check out the Tool and Truck Rental Center in South Elgin. Having the right tools for the job is important, so let us help. We're here to help you complete that home improvement project.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rentals

How do I rent a tool or a truck?

Stop by your local Rental Center to see what's available. If you'd like to be sure of what's in stock, call first to inquire about a tool or truck. You could also check out our tool and equipment rental or truck rental pages to see if what you need is offered at your local store. For more information on renting tools, read our Tool Rental FAQs, including equipment terms and conditions.

Can I choose how long to rent a truck?

Rent a truck or cargo van for as long as you need it. For short trips, 75 minutes could be enough time. Otherwise, consider renting it by the day or the week, depending on the length of your project. Be sure to factor in the drive between the job site and the store, as you must return it to the same store you rented it from. Penske moving truck rentals allow one-way rentals as well as round-trip options, and they have different terms. Be sure to read the documentation before choosing your truck.

When can I bring the tools back?

You can return the tools early if you finish your project ahead of schedule, but on time works, too. Just make sure to bring them back by the deadline listed on your rental paperwork. Please clean any residual dust, mud, and grime from the tool as well. If you need it longer, give the rental center a call to see if you can extend your rental period.

Do saw rentals come with saw blades?

Yes, power saw rentals generally come with blades, but we do recommend that you purchase your own. You'll likely not get a sharp blade when you rent, as most people won't leave one on there when they return it. However, you might get lucky and have a sharpened one. Since there's no guarantee, it's better to buy a suitable blade, just in case you need it.

Should I refill the rental truck before I bring it back?

Yes, please fuel up the truck before you bring it back. Note the original fuel level when you receive the truck, and be sure to fill it with enough gas to match that same level. If you don't, you have to pay a penalty known as the fuel replacement charge.

Do I just need a driver's license to rent a truck?

No, you also need to be 21 or older, in addition to holding a valid driver's license. Depending on your state, you might require car insurance, as well as a deposit or credit card hold, too. We don't accept cash for Home Depot truck rentals, so please bring your credit card. Penske moving truck rentals have different requirements, so read those if you plan to rent a Penske truck.
