Frequently Asked Questions
What is EquipmentRentalTracker?
EquipmentRentalTracker is simple equipment rental tracking software for small businesses. It helps you maintain an equipment inventory, track which customer has each item, record checkout and return dates, see overdue equipment, and send return reminders.
Who is it for?
Small equipment rental operators with roughly 5–100 rental assets: skid steer rentals, mini-excavator rentals, trailer rentals, generator rentals, tool rentals, landscaping equipment, pressure washers, and similar businesses.
How is it different from rental-management software like Booqable or EZRentOut?
Those are full rental-management platforms with online booking, invoicing, and POS. If you need everything, they may be a better fit. If you simply need to know what is rented and when it is coming back, EquipmentRentalTracker is simpler and cheaper.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 equipment items, unlimited customers, and basic tracking — forever. Upgrade when you outgrow it.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Sign up free and start tracking immediately. Every new account gets a 14-day Pro trial.
Can I check equipment out from my phone?
Yes. The app is mobile-first. The checkout workflow takes about five taps: select equipment, select customer, select due date, confirm, done.
Does it send reminders to my customers?
Yes. Email reminders go out 2 days before, 1 day before, on the due date, and when overdue. You can disable or modify them. SMS reminders are available on the Business plan.
Can I export my data?
Yes. You can export your data at any time. We believe trust is part of the product — we never lock you in.
What happens when I reach my equipment limit?
You will be prompted to upgrade to the next plan. Your data is never deleted.
