Very professional group. Nothing but good results. I rented everything from a chipper to an excavator. I was able to level out a few acres in a few weeks. They brought out equipment on short notice... I am very pleased.

We came to rent a concrete grinder for our new retail space and Donald in customer service was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Being women, we never felt intimidated or looked over. The guys in the back gave us an excellent tutorial on the equipment. We felt confident in every way that we will get the job done correctly! Even on a 115 degree day!! Thank you!!!! We will tell everyone about you!

We were in the middle of moving and realized we werent going to be able to finish without some carts. Rented a large flat cart which cut the moving time in half. Extremely affordable, quick and friendly checkout, and solid equipment. Much better than the carts Uhaul or Budget rental and half the cost. Will definitely use again. They also have tons of equipment for house/yard work for rent too.

They were so helpful. When I described the job (sanding my porch), they knew just what kind of sander I would need. When I was having trouble replacing the sandpaper, they walked me through it - again - over the phone.

For decades, this place has taken care of me. From the very first projects I did on my Arbor Lodge home to their technical expertise helping my contracting company now. They always have what I need, the equipment is top notch, and they have a swell sense of humor. They are an asset to the community. Shout out to Donald, his sincerity and enthusiasm is unparalleled. Thanks IR

Doug and Phil were super helpful getting me the right equipment for my DIY fence install. The guys in the loading bay gave me a solid run down on how to safely use the equipment I rented. Definitely using them for the other projects I have planned for the fall.

Becky and Emily handled our wedding order. They checked in with me weekly and every time they called I changed my order (added more). I had so many things on my mind, I surely would have screwed up something. They gave me a 3 hour window for delivery a couple of weeks before the wedding, and narrowed it down to one hour window one week before the wedding. The crew was on time and was very professional and neat and had our chairs delivered where we wanted them. They installed the lights on the inside of the tent and everyone commented how nice they looked. I will definitely recommend this company for future events. If you are on the fence between companies, you would be silly to try another company. If your event is very important as ours was, DO NOT mess around with anyone else. If they had 6 stars...they would get it. Thank you for making OUR day perfect.

Interstate always has my 5x8 trailer ready for me. I’ve been coming here couple times a month for years. The tools are always clean and well kept. Also Harold in the lot is knowledge about equipment and always eager to help. He always remembers my name and has top notch customer service. Thanks Harold!

Excellent rental experience. I rented a Hydrobore boring device, heavy duty electric drill with 3/4 chuck and heavy duty extension cord. Jeff handled my request at the counter. Friendly and knowledgeable, Jeff described the operation of the tool, tips and techniques and set me up with exactly what I needed. The rest of the staff were helpful making sure everything was in good working order and helped load the equipment into my truck without hesitation. Highly recommend this rental company.

Fast and friendly service with good quality equipment. I rented a log splitter this time and Harold had good safety tips for every step of the setup process and use. His instruction made the 24 hour chore much easier than it would have been. I have rented from Interstate Rental for more than 20 years. I have always had great service doing the paperwork and preparing the equipment. Interstate Rentals has never let me down.

I rented a 31hp stump grinder for 24hrs. The equipment was in top shape, clean, and easy to operate. Renting was quick and easy. Someone took the time to explain its operation, and what to expect when returning it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Their pricing was better than the others I checked. I will be back.

I will only use them when I absolutely have no choice. Unfriendly. Uncomprimising. No follow up, over charging and just an overall lack of interest in the customer except for taking money.

Interstate Rentals is one of the best places to rent heavy machinery and gardening equipment Harold Turner gave great customer service with a positive attitude. He got me my equipment in a timely manner and was very explanatory when it came to how to use the equipment. They hold a customer service to all time high from the front desk person to their staff in the back room with there lively personalities and affordable pricing I would be happy to rent from them again. Interstate Rentals is the place to go if you need equipment.

I have rented here for small residential jobs several times. Jacob at the desk has always treated me with kindness and helped me find a solution when I wasn’t sure what equipment would work best for the size of job I was doing. I’ll always choose Interstate because of their staff and the high level of service they provide!

Thanks again Harold for the excellent service. I have been renting equip from Interstate for many years and have always received quality service from the guys in the loading area - great group. But most recently Harold has loaded the truck with care and and has shown a lot of patience with our questions. . . Thanks again my friend!

The people working at the counter and in the back were knowledgeable and helpful when I rented a concrete saw- helped me decide which one was best, explained the varied fees etc. They seem to be properly set up for the current apocalyptic setting.

Wayne at Interstate Rentals went above and beyond for me today. He came out on a Saturday morning, no less, to help me lift a 200 pound couch into a second story apartment with a scissor lift, no problem. I could not have done this without him and appreciate his and Interstate Rentals professionalism and can- do attitude. Thanks a million Wayne!

As a commercial construction firm we have been renting from Interstate for years. They have always been helpful and well equipped to handle our needs. Often times they have gone above and beyond to help us out. We have worked with many other equipment rental companies but at Interstate we have built a relationship. Knowing the people you do business with is worth its weight in gold. I would encourage anyone needing to rent equipment to try these guys.

Good service. Knowledgeable staff. If planning on towing an item, be sure to call ahead to make sure your vehicle can handle the load. Very safety conscious. Resolved an issue we had with a machine quickly and fairly. Machines worked great.

Interstate Rentals is a great place to rent equipment. The staff is friendly and they are eager to help you find solutions to accomplishing your projects. They always make you feel appreciated and seem genuinely grateful that you chose them as your place to rent. I cant think of any way they could improve their customer service. Its obvious that everything I rent there is well taken care of and is serviced more regularly than at other rental yards. I encourage you to give them a try.

I recently rented a drum sander and was struggling to put the sand paper on. Mark was so kind and helpful, he not only showed me how to get the sand paper on, but also how to properly use the sander on the floors in my home. I will definitely coming back. Thank you Mark.

I never like leaving less than great reviews unless... well i made a reservation and was told it would be a set amount and everything was set for my arrival the next day. It was not no clue who i was or what i had reserved luckily the did have the equipment i needed, but the cost was more and the instructions given for the equipment could have been written on the inside of a match book cover, lacking details. After trial and error i completed my job and returned the tools but was met with aloof and indifferent front desk support that didnt really seem to care about the missing reservation or troubles i had with the tools nor discuss the cost delta... There are better places to rent tool from, ill go there next time.

Rented a articulating lift to take care of roof an tree work. Delivered on time, instructed in using the lift, got it situated to do the work. I scheduled for a week, but the work only took until mid AM the next day, so called in that I was done, the lift was gone by that evening. I checked in today on the bill and assumed it would be for 2 days, but no it was only for a day. These guys were all helpful, courteous and knowledgeable.Overall it was a great customer experience, which is seldom my experience One of my favorite whines is customer service is dead, but not at Interstate Rentals.

Have rented from Interstate Rentals a few times, they always have what I need, and are reasonable and upfront with pricing. They have a lot of helpful information on their website about what equipment or tools they carry, and have a large inventory for a variety of projects. Their customer service is always top notch and the rental/return experience was smooth.

Review №41

These guys are great. Its my go-to for any possible home DIY rental, from trailers to sod cutters to post hole augers. Their equipment is always in great condition, their prices are fair, and the service is friendly and top notch helpful over the phone, at the counter, during loading, and upon return. Im pretty sure its a family owned/run operation, and it shows. Im always impressed with the level of accountability and ownership that each employee seems to take in their work. Keep it up, Interstate Rentals. Youll see me again.

Interstate Rentals has been an outstanding tool from my business. I own a Landscape company and often need equipment and tools at a moments notice. One call to Interstate Rentals usually solves the problem. The staff is competent and equipped and ready to help even with obscure requests or problem solving ideas. I would highly recommend this local company!!!

Review №47

Weve used this company now several times and I wanted to finally say thanks to them for their honesty, diligence, and knowledge. Price-wise, theyre their rates are competitive across the board. Ive always been worried about having to rent equipment, (paranoid theyll tack-on some secret extra charges in the end), but what theyve quoted me is exactly what Ive paid. Great company, great staff.

Called and reserved a 1 1/2 ton chain lift. When I got there they told me they didnt have one but they would rent me a 3 ton for the same price. When he brought it out I could tell no one had ever done any type of maintenance on it! We tried to get it to racket but the clutch was toast! All of their lifting rigging wouldnt work! Im afraid if someone uses that equipment it could be dangerous! Ive worked with rigging for 30 years and had to refuse to take it because of the condition of the equipment! Rigging can be dangerous if you are using bad equipment! Rigging should be tested before it is ever handed over to a customer! Very disappointed!Great news! Interstate rentals took responsibility for their lifting/ rigging gear and removed it from their inventory! They truly understand that the safety of their customers comes first! Its a huge responsibility and costly to maintain this type of equipment! 4 stars for Interstate rentals for stepping up and doing the right thing!Thank youJason Hutchison

These guys are so frickin awesome. Ive let my boyfriend and workers go too often to rent stuff, and of course they dontt ask any questions. But when I go, I just leave it in the hands of the guys at Interstate Rentals--instead of telling them what I need to RENT, I tell them what Im trying to DO, and they tell me what to rent! And they have never failed me yet. Great knowledge and expertise, great service, and reasonable prices. They have my business for life (or at least for as long as I live in Portland)!

Hi,I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that I received excellent customer service from both Harold and Ronte.Harold assisted me when I loaded up my rental. His knowledge of how it operated and patience while I asked a thousand questions was real for me.Ronte and Harold both assisted me with unloading. Ronte went the extra mile by taking my place in the unloading process, while at the same time ensuring my rental met my needs.Please tell them both, I appreciated their help and I will not only be back because of the customer service I received from them , but I will also tell my friends and families to go their for their family needs.Thanks,Percy

Review №64

Great selection, super quick service. These guys were better priced than the rental place right next door to us even with delivery. We rented a forklift and it was delivered in 2 hours notice. Just make sure you top off the propane because they must charge $20/gallon for it. If youre a penny pincher like me, everything counts. Im probably going to make all my rentals for business and personal use here. Another tip: all Interstate Rentals Inc. dont have the same rates. This one is way better for some reason.

Took some of our equipment to Interstate rentals for service and repair. They got us right in, the Manager Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful on what our machines needed. When picking up the machines both the front desk and the service tech went over everything they did and what we can do to prevent future failures. Very happy with Interstate rentals, I feel very confident in them and that they are a trustworthy place to do business with. We received a great price and excellent quality work we can rely on.

I rented a concrete saw from these guys. A poorly designed part on the saw broke within a couple hours (not their fault).

Review №81

I have been renting from Interstate Rentals for over 10 years. As an independent business owner I choose to work with other independent businesses like Interstate Rentals because they have been family owned since 1953. Larger corporations have formulae for how their clientele are treated, whereas at Interstate Rentals you have a relationship, they remember you, and I know all of their employees and they know me. Now tell me how well you think you would be treated under these circumstances. If it isnt obvious you havent experienced it first hand. Come to Interstate Rentals and feel the difference of what local ownership is like. Thats my reccomendation, I wont go anywhere else. Tim Ackerman

Review №88

The floor sander and edger were from the regan era at best, so frustrating to use we had to go to Home Depot for something to get the job done. Brought it back a day early and was still charged $130, $20 less than it was going to be for two days. A huge disappointment and waste of time for equipment far different than pictured online. The counter staff was uninterested and unapologetic in helping. This is the first review Ive ever left, the only time I thought it necessary to leave public feedback.
