🛠️ Why Renting an Open Utility Trailer from Rich Smiles Rentals Beats U-Haul and Tractor Supply
When it comes to renting an open utility trailer, U-Haul and Tractor Supply like to advertise rock-bottom prices. But once you dig into the details, you’ll find added fees, limited service, and fewer included features. That’s where Rich Smiles Rentals stands out.
We’re based in Greencastle, PA and serve all of Franklin County and Washington County, offering well-equipped, tandem axle 7x14 utility trailers with flexible pickup or free delivery within 10 miles.
Here’s why we’re a better option for your next haul:
✅ 1. What You See Is What You Pay
U-Haul and Tractor Supply may advertise $24.99 or $29.95/day, but that price usually doesn’t include what you actually need to use the trailer safely.
- Want straps to secure your load? That’s extra.
- Need a proper hitch setup? Hope you brought your own—or buy one.
- Insurance coverage? That’s a separate charge.
At Rich Smiles Rentals, everything you need is already included:
- High-quality straps and E-track tie-downs
- Emergency gear (fire extinguisher, flares, safety vest, gloves)
- Tools to change a flat
- No added cost for accessories or roadside items
You’ll know your total before you book—no hidden charges or checkout surprises.
✅ 2. Local Delivery, Right to You
Unlike big box stores, we offer free trailer delivery within 10 miles of our base, and just $3 per mile after that. Whether you're in Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Waynesboro, or nearby, you can skip the pickup hassle.
No need to drive to a store, stand in line, or stress about return times—we work with your schedule, not the other way around.
✅ 3. Hourly Rentals? Yep.
Need a trailer for just a few hours? We rent by the hour for up to 4 hours. Try asking Tractor Supply for a 3-hour rental—they won’t do it.
We built our pricing to match real-life needs, whether it’s a dump run, appliance pickup, or quick landscaping job.
✅ 4. Real Insurance Options
We keep things safe and simple:
- You can use your existing auto insurance if it covers trailers
- Or purchase a short-term addendum through our provider (MBA Insurance)
- A refundable security deposit gets you on the road fast
You’re fully covered—and no overpriced damage waiver to tack on at checkout.
✅ 5. A Business That Works for You
Rich Smiles Rentals is proudly local. That means:
- Flexible pickup/drop-off hours
- Clear communication and support
- Personal service—no call centers or customer support mazes
- Trailers that are clean, well-maintained, and ready to go
Our trailers are rented by neighbors, not national chains. We're here to help, not upsell.
🚛 The Bottom Line
U-Haul and Tractor Supply are built for volume, not value. They give you the bare minimum, then charge extra for the basics. If you're just hauling mulch across town or picking up furniture, their model often adds cost and complexity.
At Rich Smiles Rentals, you get:
- Transparent, all-inclusive pricing
- Hourly flexibility
- Free local delivery
- Emergency and tie-down gear included
- Real, responsive service
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a small business, or just need a solid trailer for the day—we’ve got your back.
Rent smart. Rent local. Rent Rich Smiles.
