I reserved a boom forklift. I specified the smallest model due to having a limited area to unload a truck. They substituted a much larger model (9 feet longer than the one I specified). They didn't have the small one available, so they substituted without calling me. So they brought a regular forklift. I was able to unload the truck , but it was a much more difficult job.
The next time I rented from Sunbelt I needed a regular forklift that would lift up to 21 feet. After being burned on the previous rental I stressed to the employee on the phone to bring the forklift I specified. He assured me it would be correct. They delivered a forklift that maxed at 16 feet. I rented a forklift from a competitor and it was correct and cost less. I'll never rent from Sunbelt SLO again.

If I could give zero stars I would. I reserved a piece of equipment online, spoke with a sales associate and when I arrived they said I needed to set up an account which was never discussed earlier. They also said it wouldn’t matter if I set up an account because they don’t have any equipment that I wanted available even though I had reserved it for that morning. I had a job lined up and people waiting for me but was unable to go.

If you own a business we warn you not to use Sunbelt! We called to rent a piece of equipment to be delivered at a specified date and time. At the time of booking we stressed that the delivery be on time and was assured that it would be no problem.The prices they quoted us were competitive with other rental places in the area and they were less than two miles from our jobsite. When the day arrived the unit was late, we called the Sunbelt office and were told "the rental is on a truck". This was useless information at the time, so we had about 12 people from all over the country waiting for the unit. I asked the person I spoke to that morning to have Clint, the original person we spoke to there about the rental call me back. I received no communication. The next day I called and spoke to Clint and he told me he didn't get any message. I asked Clint for a receipt of the rental and again given the no problem answer. Again nothing. The next day, we called back and spoke to a "manager" who had so many excuses it was pathetic (We have GPS on the trucks, etc.), but they deny that the 15 or so people waiting for them all noted when the unit arrived. So if you want a company that cannot make deliveries as promised, refuse to communicate with you, ignore your requests, not take responsibility for their failures, take up to three days to pick the unit up (told to me by the "manager" all the time i am sure you are responsible for it even though you only wanted a one day rental) and give you nothing but aggravation use SUNBELT RENTALS! Every local rental option must be better!
