Can I extend my rental if my project takes longer than expected?

Yes — most rentals can be extended as long as the equipment is available. Contact us as soon as you know you’ll need more time so we can update your reservation and avoid scheduling conflicts. Call (563) 271-4732 to extend your rental.

What identification is required to rent?

A valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) is required for all rentals at ACE Equipment Rentals. This applies to both individuals and contractors. For commercial accounts, a Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) is also helpful and qualifies you for our 10% rental discount.

What are your equipment rental rates?

Rental rates at ACE Equipment Rentals vary by equipment type and rental duration. We offer flexible Full Day weekly, and monthly rates to fit your project timeline. For specific pricing, call us at (563) 271-4732 or browse our online catalog. Contractors with a valid COI receive 10% off all rentals.

How do I get the 10% COI discount?

Provide a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) and you’ll receive a 10% discount on all rentals at ACE Equipment Rentals. You can email a copy to hello@rentaceqc.com ahead of time or bring it to the shop when you pick up your equipment. Most contractors and commercial customers already carry general liability insurance — just make sure ACE Equipment Rentals is listed as a certificate holder.

What is the Weekend Special and how does it work?

Our Weekend Special lets you pick up equipment any time after 12:00 PM on Friday and use it for the rest of Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday — all at the one-day rental rate. Equipment must be returned by opening on Monday. This is a great way to tackle weekend home improvement and contractor projects on a budget.

Do you offer discounts for long-term rentals?

Yes — ACE Equipment Rentals offers weekly and monthly rates that provide significant savings compared to daily pricing. The longer the rental, the lower the effective daily cost. For projects expected to run more than a week, call us at (563) 271-4732 for a custom quote.

What rental durations do you offer?

ACE Equipment Rentals offers four flexible rental durations to fit any project timeline:

  • Same Day Rental: Pick up your equipment any time during business hours and return it by 4:00 PM closing the same day.
  • 24-Hour Rental: A full 24 hours of use from pickup time.
  • Weekly Rental: Ideal for ongoing construction projects or multi-day jobs.
  • Monthly Rental: The most cost-effective option for long-term equipment needs.

Call (563) 271-4732 for specific pricing and to reserve your equipment.

Do you offer weekly or monthly equipment rentals?

Yes — ACE Equipment Rentals offers weekly and monthly rental rates in addition to daily andoptions. Extended rentals are perfect for ongoing construction projects, landscape renovations, and contractor jobs. Contact us at (563) 271-4732 for weekly/monthly pricing on the equipment you need.

Why should I provide a Certificate of Insurance?

Providing a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) gives you two benefits at ACE Equipment Rentals: a 10% discount on all rentals, and it covers you against potential liability while operating our equipment. Most contractors and commercial customers already carry general liability insurance through their business policy. Email your COI to hello@rentaceqc.com ahead of time or bring it at pickup.

Which equipment requires a Certificate of Insurance?

Some larger or higher-risk equipment items at ACE require a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) before rental, including:

  • Mini Excavator 50P
  • Vermeer Vacuum Excavator
  • Other heavy or specialty equipment as noted

If you don’t carry liability insurance, call us at (563) 271-4732 to discuss options or alternative equipment that doesn’t require a COI.

What condition should equipment be returned in?

Please return equipment in the same condition as it was rented, including:

  • A full tank of fuel (for gas-powered equipment)
  • Thoroughly cleaned of dirt, debris, and concrete
  • All attachments and accessories that came with the rental

Additional charges may apply for excessive cleaning, missing parts, or unrefueled tanks. Returning equipment in good condition keeps everyone’s rental costs lower.

What happens if equipment is damaged during my rental?

If equipment is damaged during your rental, contact ACE Equipment Rentals at (563) 271-4732 as soon as possible. Customers with a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) are typically covered for accidental damage under their policy. Without a COI, repair or replacement costs may be charged to the renter. Always notify us about damage before returning the equipment.

ACE Equipment Rentals is open during the following hours:

  • Monday – Friday: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
  • Saturday – Sunday: Closed

Need equipment for the weekend? Take advantage of our Weekend Special — pick up after 12:00 PM Friday and use it through Sunday at the one-day rate.

What’s the difference between a tracked and wheeled skid steer?

The biggest difference is how each machine performs on different surfaces. Tracked skid steers (like the Skid Steer Track Loader 317G) distribute weight across rubber tracks, which gives them better flotation on soft ground, mud, sand, snow, and finished landscapes. They cause less damage to lawns and turf, climb steeper slopes, and grip better in slippery conditions.

Wheeled skid steers (like the Skid Steer Wheeled Loader 320G) move faster on hard surfaces — concrete, asphalt, gravel, and dry compacted soil. They are easier on driveways and existing pavement, and they typically rent for a slightly lower rate. For most demolition and indoor work, wheeled is the right pick. For excavation, landscape work, or anything on soft ground, go tracked.

Call (563) 271-4732 and tell us about your site — we will help you pick the right one.

Which mini excavator size do I need for my project?

ACE Equipment Rentals stocks three mini excavator sizes — the right one depends on your dig depth, working space, and the size of material you are moving.

  • Mini Excavator 17G: Our smallest. Ideal for tight-access work, residential lots with gates, utility trenches, footings, and small landscape projects. Fits through most 36-inch gates.
  • Mini Excavator 35G: Mid-size. The most popular pick for contractors. Bigger dig depth, larger bucket, and more lift than the 17G. Handles most residential and small commercial excavation.
  • Mini Excavator 50P (COI Required): Our largest. Commercial-grade dig depth and bucket capacity for serious excavation, drainage projects, and foundation work. Requires a Certificate of Liability Insurance to rent.

When in doubt, go one size bigger than you think — it is rarely worth saving a few dollars to fight an undersized machine all day. Call (563) 271-4732 and we will help you pick.

Do you train operators or just hand over the keys?

Both. At ACE Equipment Rentals, our team walks every first-time renter through proper operation of the equipment before they leave the lot — controls, safety features, how to load and unload, fueling, and what to watch out for. This is especially important for heavy equipment like skid steers and mini excavators, where the controls vary by machine.

If you are an experienced operator, you can skip the walkthrough — we hand over the keys, confirm fuel and any accessories, and you are on your way. For commercial customers who run our equipment regularly, we keep notes on file so we know who needs the walkthrough and who does not.

For specialized equipment like the Vermeer Vacuum Excavator (COI required), there are additional safety procedures we cover at pickup. Call (563) 271-4732 ahead of time if you want extra time for training, or email hello@rentaceqc.com with questions before you arrive.

Which stand-on mini skid steer should I rent?

Our stand-on mini skid steer lineup covers everything from light-duty residential work to serious hardscape installation. The right pick depends on the weight you need to lift, the surfaces you will run on, and the access width to your site.

  • CTX50: Our lightest. Perfect for delicate turf and tight access points. Good for service-route landscape work.
  • SK900 / SK900 (w/ weight kit): Great all-around residential and light commercial work. The weight kit version adds lift capacity for paver pallets, boulders, and soil.
  • SK1000: Newest in the fleet. Slightly more capacity than the SK900 in the same compact footprint.
  • SK1550 (w/ weight kit): Heavier-duty unit. Handles bigger pallets and longer days.
  • SK3000: Our largest stand-on. Full skid-steer-class power that still fits through a 36-inch gate.

Most fit through 36-inch gates and accept standard universal-mount attachments. Call (563) 271-4732 for a recommendation based on your project.
