"Stop calling around for equipment. Dizel lets you compare rates, check availability, and book rentals in minutes—all from one trusted platform."
Because calling around takes time, and compiling all the different fees becomes a whole spreadsheet or a couple pages worth of notes.
Think of it as if you still had to compare different airlines when you wanted to travel. You'd be compiling all the fees, add ons, seat designations, layover times, travel times, and baseline pricing, all while waiting for callbacks. Technology has provided us a convenient, transparent solution for booking flights. Dizel is doing the same thing for equipment rentals.
You can search multiple rental yards and private owners all in one place. You'll see what's available right now, compare rates side by side, check delivery zones, read reviews, and book, all without leaving the jobsite or putting your phone on speaker for the tenth time today.
Think of it like putting all your local rental yards in one window and making them compete to earn your business. You stay in control, you save time, and you actually get to choose what works best for your job instead of settling for whatever happens to be available when someone finally calls you back.
Dizel gets you to your destination faster, with a comprehensive price up front.
Not at all. In many cases, it's actually cheaper, and here's why.
Dizel lets you compare real rates side by side, which helps you avoid overpaying or getting stuck with hidden fees that magically appear on the invoice two weeks after you return the equipment. You know the ones: "transport repositioning charge," "fuel reconciliation adjustment," "equipment happiness restoration fee." Okay, we made that last one up, but you get the point.
Pricing on Dizel is transparent up front. No surprises, no fine print, no "Oh, we forgot to mention the triple shift is double." What you see is what you pay. And since rental companies know they're being compared to other suppliers on the platform, they often list their best rates to stay competitive. That benefits you directly.
So no. We just give you the tools to find better deals faster, which is something your project margin will appreciate when it's time to close out the job budget.
Usually in minutes. Not hours, not days. Minutes.
With Dizel, you're not waiting on callbacks, quotes, or approvals from someone who's "in a meeting" for the next three hours. You can see live availability, compare options, lock in your rental, handle payment, and get confirmation, all from your phone or laptop, right from the jobsite.
We do build in a 24 hour buffer for each rental to give the provider time to set up logistics like delivery and prep. But if you need a machine immediately, one of our client success representatives will step in to assist you. We'll make the calls, compile the availability information, and work to get you equipment as fast as possible. Think of Dizel as an extension of your team, not just a booking platform.
The whole process is designed to match the speed of the field, not the pace of a rental office that closes at 4:30 PM and doesn't check voicemails until Monday. Need a lift for tomorrow morning? Done. Generator goes down and you need a backup this afternoon? We've got you covered.
Because in construction, time is money, and waiting around for someone to get back to you isn't a business strategy. It's a nightmare. Dizel fixes that.
Trust is baked into the platform, not just promised in a tagline somewhere on the website.
We track real performance data like fulfillment rate, response time, cancellation rate, breakdown rates, and overall reliability. Then we highlight the top performers so you know exactly who you're dealing with. We call this system TrustRank, and it's how we let you know who you're renting from ahead of time.
That means you're not renting from a random listing or rolling the dice on whether someone will actually show up. You're choosing from companies with proven track records. And if a supplier or even a specific location of a nationwide provider consistently drops the ball, you'll know upfront. Simple as that.
We require every rental provider to immediately send out a mechanic or swap out the equipment at no extra cost to you.
Let's face it, equipment breaks down. It's part of the job. The difference with Dizel is you're not on your own trying to track someone down or figure out what to do next. You have support built into the platform from the start.
Here's how we make sure that actually happens: Every rental provider on Dizel has a dedicated account manager who ensures breakdowns get handled fast. If a machine goes down, the provider is responsible for getting you back up and running, whether that means dispatching a mechanic to the site or delivering replacement equipment. And because you booked through Dizel, you have direct access to our team if the provider isn't moving fast enough.
This isn't just a policy we hope they follow. It directly ties into their TrustRank metrics. If a rental company doesn't perform when equipment breaks down, their score drops, and contractors can see that track record before booking.
We also hold the payment. Funds aren't released to the rental provider until the job is complete, which gives you leverage if something goes wrong. In a worst case scenario where a provider can't resolve the issue quickly, a quality assurance representative from our team steps in to work with you directly. We'll help find another equipment option to get you back up and running as fast as possible.
Bottom line: you're not left stranded with a broken machine and no backup plan. We've built accountability into the system so providers have every reason to make things right, and you have support if they don't.
Simple: Dizel isn't a rental company. We're a marketplace.
That means you get to compare multiple suppliers in one place, not just browse one brand's inventory. You're not locked into one fleet, one location, one price point, or one rental company's policies. You get the freedom to choose what's best for your job, and that creates more competition, better service, and more value for you.
Think of it this way: Home Depot and United Rentals are great if you want to rent from Home Depot or United Rentals. But what if their nearest location is 40 miles away? What if they don't have the machine you need until next Thursday? What if their rate is double what someone else is charging three miles from your jobsite?
With Dizel, you're not stuck. You can compare local rental yards, regional companies, and independent owners all at once. You choose based on price, location, ratings, availability... whatever matters most to you. And that flexibility makes all the difference when you're up against a deadline and need the right equipment now, not when it's convenient for one supplier.
A little bit of everything when it comes to construction and offroad equipment, and we're constantly adding more.
You'll find mini excavators, skid steers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, generators, light towers, compressors, telehandlers, forklifts, plate compactors, concrete equipment, trenchers, rollers, bulldozers, graders, dump trucks, chippers, stump grinders, air compressors, welders, pressure washers, chillers, and heaters. Honestly, if it's used on a jobsite, there's a good chance we've got it.
Whether you're working residential or commercial, short term or long term, emergency rental or planned project, Dizel helps you find the equipment you need near you, fast. And since we're adding new rental partners and independent owners every month, the selection keeps growing.
If you don't see what you need today, check back next week or reach out and let us know what you're looking for. We're always listening.
No, and that's one of the biggest benefits of using Dizel.
Normally, renting equipment means setting up credit accounts with each individual rental company. That process involves submitting financial documents, waiting for credit approval, filling out paperwork, and often dealing with different terms and credit limits at each yard. It's a hassle, especially when you need equipment quickly or you're trying a new supplier for the first time.
Dizel eliminates that entire process. We've already established relationships and credit terms with rental providers on the platform, so you can book immediately without any of that upfront work. You pay through Dizel, and we handle the backend with the supplier.
This works because of our Fleet Safe Rental Protection Program. Rental providers trust the system because their equipment is protected during every rental. That means they don't need to run credit checks or require rental insurance. You get instant access to equipment, and they get the security they need to rent with confidence.
The result? You can rent from multiple suppliers across the platform without setting up accounts, building credit history, or waiting for approvals. Just find what you need and book it. Simple as that.
It's fast, secure, and transparent. Three words you don't usually associate with rental payments, but here we are.
You book directly through Dizel and pay online with your preferred payment method, whether that's credit card, ACH, or whatever works for you. Dizel uses Stripe to process all payments securely, so your financial information is protected with bank level encryption.
Once payment goes through, you receive a receipt immediately. Everything is tracked in one place, so there's no confusion, no forgotten charges, and no mystery invoices showing up three weeks after the job is done.
You'll know exactly what you're paying, when you're paying it, and what it covers, every single time. No hidden fees, no surprise fuel charges that somehow tripled overnight, no "administrative processing adjustments" that make you question your life choices.
Just clean, simple, predictable payments. The way it should be.
Yes, and honestly, a lot of contractors are already doing it.
If you've got a skid steer sitting idle between jobs, a generator collecting dust in the yard, or a mini excavator that only gets used two weeks out of the month, you can list it on Dizel and start earning from it. We make it easy to manage listings, set your own rental rates and rules, approve or decline renters, and still stay in full control of your gear.
It's a smart way to offset your equipment costs, especially during slower months or between projects when you're paying for machines that aren't making you money. Some contractors use it to cover their monthly equipment payments. Others just like knowing their gear is out there working instead of depreciating in the yard.
And because Fleet Safe protection applies to both sides of the rental, you're not risking your equipment without coverage. You get to choose who rents from you based on their TrustRank score, rental history, and insurance verification. If someone doesn't meet your standards, you just decline the request. Your equipment, your rules.
We're growing fast, and we mean fast.
Dizel is already live in multiple states, with strong partners like Synergy Equipment, Hilltide Rentals, and EquipmentShare backing us up. Every month, more rental companies and independent owners join the platform, which means better coverage, more equipment options, and faster delivery times no matter where you're working.
We're not everywhere yet, but we're getting there. And if we're not in your area right now, we probably will be soon. That's the beauty of a marketplace model. Once we light up a region, the network effect kicks in, and things expand quickly.
If you want Dizel in your market, let us know. We prioritize expansion based on demand, and contractor feedback drives a lot of our decisions. The more people ask, the faster we show up.
Because it helps them rent out more equipment, reach new contractors, and fill the gaps in their calendar that cost them money every single day.
Many rental companies, especially smaller or regional ones, struggle with underutilized gear, especially during slower seasons or between big contracts. They've got machines sitting in the yard that could be making money, but they don't have the reach or marketing budget to find renters consistently. Dizel solves that by connecting them to active jobsite demand.
And here's the key part: our platform only makes money when rentals go well. We're not charging listing fees, monthly subscriptions, or upfront costs. We earn through Fleet Safe, which means we're aligned with their success. If their equipment stays rented and claims stay low, we all win.
Contractors win with more options and better rates. Rental companies win with higher utilization and more revenue. Equipment stays working instead of depreciating. It's a system designed to benefit everyone, not just extract fees.
Most rental providers on Dizel offer delivery directly to your jobsite, and it's included in the total price you see upfront. No surprise delivery fees showing up later.
When you book equipment, you'll enter your jobsite address and any special delivery instructions before you confirm the rental. Each rental provider has a dedicated Account Manager who will coordinate delivery timing with you to make sure the equipment arrives when you need it. Pickup is automatically scheduled for the end of your rental period.
You don't have to worry about hauling equipment yourself. The provider handles transportation to and from your site, which means you can skip the hassle of permits, insurance riders, and specialized hauling equipment.
If you need to adjust pickup timing or extend your rental, just contact your Account Manager directly through our message center or reach out to our client success team. We'll help coordinate the logistics so you can focus on the work, not the schedule.
Your main responsibility is operating the equipment safely and returning it in the same condition you received it, minus normal wear and tear from regular use.
Most rental providers expect you to keep the equipment reasonably clean and maintained during your rental period. That usually means basic things like checking fluid levels, keeping it out of standing water, and not using equipment beyond its rated capacity or for purposes it wasn't designed for.
The good news? If something breaks down during normal use, that's covered. You're not responsible for mechanical failures, and the rental provider is required to fix it or swap out the equipment at no extra cost to you.
Dizel handles fuel deposits to keep things simple and fair for everyone.
When you book equipment, we collect a refundable fuel deposit upfront. Think of it like a gas tank guarantee. If you return the machine with a full tank, you get 100% of your deposit back. No questions, no hassle.
If you return it less than full, here's what happens: The rental provider documents exactly how much fuel was needed to refill the tank and reports that amount to Dizel. We deduct only the actual fuel cost from your deposit and automatically return the remaining balance to you.
There's no markup, no fuel surcharge, no mystery math. You pay only for what you used based on the provider's documented refill cost.
Bottom line: return it full, get your full deposit back. Return it partially full, pay only for the fuel you actually used. Simple as that.
If you need to keep the equipment longer, you can extend your rental directly through the Dizel platform or by messaging your Account Manager. Most providers are flexible as long as the equipment isn't already booked for another job after your original end date. You'll see the extended rate before you confirm, and your payment will be automatically adjusted.
There isn't one. Seriously.
Dizel was built by contractors who were tired of wasting time on rental calls, waiting for quotes that may or may not come, and dealing with slow, outdated systems that didn't match the pace or reality of the jobsite. We got fed up with the runaround, so we built something better.
No more guessing when someone will call you back. No more getting stuck with whatever equipment happens to be available when you finally reach someone. No more surprise charges that make you wonder if you accidentally rented a Lamborghini instead of a skid steer.
Just a faster, easier, more transparent way to get the gear you need and keep your projects moving. That's it. That's the whole pitch.
We're not here to complicate your life. We're here to simplify it. And if that sounds too good to be true, well, maybe the bar was just set too low for too long. We're raising it.
