Tires

Tires are the responsibility of the renter(s). Renter is responsible for a tire being damaged while in your possession. For example: a right rear tire blowout caused by you scraping a curb, driving over nails or something that can puncture the tire, overloading, tires being stolen or vandalized, snapped valve stems from brush or debris. Being in your possession means every minute the trailer is being rented by you.

The Dump Trailer must be returned clean inside and outside from any dirt or debris. If the trailer requires a cleaning by the owner a cleaning fee of $50 will be charged.
