Estimate only — set your own final price. Many operators charge this as a flat fee inside a local zone and add a per-mile rate beyond it.
Rennt builds you a branded booking site that quotes delivery by zone automatically, takes a deposit and captures a signed agreement — for $9/month, 0% commission. Live the same day, free for 14 days.
Start freeDelivery, setup and pickup are real labor — not a courtesy you bundle into the item price and hope nobody notices. The operators who quietly lose money are the ones charging a flat "$25 delivery" they picked years ago while fuel, wages and drive times have all crept up. The fix is to price from cost, then add the margin you want.
A complete delivery cost has four parts. Fuel is the round-trip miles divided by your real-world MPG, times the price per gallon. Labor is every loaded minute — loading the truck, driving there, setting up, driving back, and unloading — multiplied by your crew size and hourly pay. Wear is the per-trip share of tires, brakes, oil and vehicle depreciation, plus normal wear on the gear itself. Add a margin on top, because delivery is a service you profit from, not a break-even chore. The calculator above does all four for you.
Both are fine, and most successful party rental businesses use a hybrid. Set a flat delivery fee for a local zone you can serve efficiently — say everything within 15 miles of your storage unit — using the number above as your baseline. Beyond that zone, add a per-mile charge so a 40-mile haul to the far edge of the county doesn't quietly eat your weekend. The key is that the customer sees one clear delivery line, not a price baked invisibly into every item.
Once you know your zones and rates, you shouldn't be re-typing delivery quotes into DMs all weekend. On Rennt you set delivery zones and fees once, and your branded storefront quotes each order automatically based on where the customer is — then collects a deposit and a signed rental agreement before you ever load the truck. It's $9/month plus a penny per booking, with no cut of what you charge.
