After-Hours Drop-Off: How to Return Your Rental

Weekend & After-Hours Made Easy

If you need to return your rental truck after regular hours or over the weekend, we make it simple and secure.

How It Works

  • At Pick-Up, Let us Know – If you plan to return after hours or on the weekend, just tell our team so we can note it on your agreement.
  • Park in Our After-Hours Lot – Pull into our back lot on Leghorn Street and leave the truck in a safe, well-lit spot.
  • Lock Up – Remove your belongings, close all doors, and lock the truck.
  • Drop Your Keys – Use the designated key drop box—no waiting, no hassle.
  • We’ll Handle the Rest – Our team will check mileage, fuel, and condition the next business day. You’ll receive your final paperwork by email.

    • Tips for a Smooth Return

  • Fill the tank before drop-off and keep your receipt—we’ll match pump prices.
  • Double-check you’ve removed all personal items and included your rented equipment (dollies, straps, pads).
  • Double-check that you have locked the doors and cab.
  • Snap a quick photo of the mileage and fuel level for your records.
