Thanks for your comments and suggestions! Would love to hear from anyone you know in Missouri that's interested.
> Insurance
Insurance is a huge pain for equipment. Most of the contractors we've encountered have an insurance policy that covers rental. Those that do not must pay ~15% to be added to a 3rd party insurance policy. We do not allow uninsured rentals to occur through our site.
> Maintenance
We work with mechanics in the area to have equipment automatically serviced when it's needed
> Mobilization
If you need the equipment delivered, we have agreements with towing companies. There is a fee for this (depends on weight, distance, etc).
> Fees per what?
We charge per day, for the very reason you pointed out (complexity). We haven't had any pushback about this so far, but if we do we'll look at it.
> Find the right model for older equipment
We don't have an official policy on what can be listed and what cant, but "don't allow old junk" isn't far from the mark. We're also collecting reviews and rating information, which will help us filter out equipment that gives a bad experience.
