The Home Depot Rental Center at Southlake

When it's time to 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 Merrillville Tool and Truck Rental Center.

Tool Rental
Start your next DIY project with confidence and the right tools for the job. Let The Home Depot Merrillville Tool Rental Center expand your toolbox with the tools you don't have at home. You can 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.

Make Painting Easier with Paint Sprayer and Ladder Rentals
Gorgeous summer days are a great time to take on outdoor painting projects. Renew worn surfaces with a fresh paint color. Whether you need rental ladders for painting fences, rental scaffolding for painting a house or shed, or a rental paint sprayer for professional coverage, we've got what you need.

Tame the Greenery and Lawn
Settle into summer with outdoor power equipment rentals and whip the yard into shape again. Trim the trees and hedges with a chainsaw rental, neaten the yard with a rental lawn mower and lawn edger, and get that driveway clean again with a pressure washer. Your outdoor oasis will be fresh-looking and ready for summer fun in no time.

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 moving and transport, too.

Box Truck Rentals
When you need a 12-foot box truck for a small move, we have 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. Pick up your truck, pack it full, then bring it back to that same store when you're done.

Penske Moving Trucks
You're comfortable doing your home improvement projects with The Home Depot. Do the same when it's time to move 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rentals

How do I rent a tool or a truck?

Stop by your local rental center to see which tools or trucks you can rent. If you'd like to be sure of what's in stock, call first to inquire about a tool or truck. You may 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. All rental trucks, as well as larger tools, require CLEAR verification.

Can I rent a tool by the hour?

You can rent a tool for four hours or more. Simply choose the length of time that suits you. Small DIY projects may only require a rental for a few hours, and we can accommodate large projects as well. You've got options to rent tools by the day, week, or month, too. If you need it longer than anticipated, call the Rental Center to arrange an extension and avoid late fees.

When do I return the tools?

You can return the tools early if you finish your project sooner than predicted, but on time works, too. As long as you return it by the deadline you were given when you rented it, you'll be good to go. Please clean off built-up dirt from the tool as well. If you need them longer, call the rental center 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 blade on a tile saw, for instance. As there's no guarantee, it's better to buy a suitable blade, just in case you need it.

Do I need to refill the rental truck with gas?

Yes, please fuel up the truck before you return it. Note the amount of gas in the tank when you receive the truck, and be sure to fill it with enough gas to match that same level. When you don't refill the truck, you have to pay a penalty known as the fuel replacement charge.

Can I rent a truck with only a driver's license?

No, you must hold a valid driver's license and be 21 or older. Be ready for CLEAR verification with its required selfie. 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.
