How to reserve the rental truck
First, make sure you qualify for the truck rental. Home Depot requires that all applicants must be 21 years old and have either an U.S. or Canadian driver’s license. If it’s a Load ‘N Go rental, then automobile insurance is required as well.
Next, check the availability of either the rental flatbed truck or cargo van by visiting the official Home Depot website.
On the confirmation page, once you input your zip code, you will be presented with a list of nearby stores and a status as the availability of the rental in question. If available, you will then be able to reserve by calling the local store.
Once confirmed by the store, you will then arrive at the Home Depot of choice, either at the Special Services desk or Tool Rental Center to secure your truck.
Description of the trucks available
The Load ‘N Go flatbed truck has a specialty aluminum bed capable of loading up to 3,000 pounds, while the cargo van has the same weight capacity but the bed will be enclosed.
This truck/program is intended for those who want to rent it for a few hours at a time, but it can, upon request, be rented by the day, week or even month. The vehicle make, model and year may vary slightly by store, but for the most part, they will be similar in terms of features.
Product features for the flatbed truck include automatic transmission, air conditioner, a seating capacity of three, four-wheel anti-lock braking, dual seat-mounted side airbag, V8 engine, stereo and a backup alarm, while the cargo van offers dual bucket seats and cargo tie downs, in addition to the flatbed truck features.
