You give them some money and take it home. You have to agree to their terms
or you don't get the machine. If something happens you will probably have
to pay for the damage. The last time they offered damage waiver insurance
for $50 or so a day. I paid it. Didn't cover some of the really stupid
things an operator can do to damage the machine like trying to dig thru the
tracks. I hauled mine which probably increases the ways it can be damaged.

Anybody had any experience renting a mini or compact excavator ? What to
look out for contract wise ? Thinking about renting for a week.
