We tried Calgary’s 5 best trailer companies, and here’s what we found out!

Hetman Rental is one of the trailer rental companies in Calgary that provides dump trailers, flatbed trailers, enclosed trailers, and horse & livestock trailers.

We admire their level of communication, easing our booking experience. On top of that, we like that clients get their rental schedule right away, allowing them to make the necessary arrangements soon after.

What we like about them is that they have large trailers that clients can rent out, making them a popular choice for those who plan to have a long-distance trip.

Another thing that we love about this company is that they can adjust the pick-up and drop-off points for client’s convenience, even if it means they need to choose another site apart from their main garage. 

Because of this, customers can arrange pick-up or delivery of trailers to residential spaces, and even to offices.

Additionally, they don’t require an extra fee for midnight, early morning, and late night bookings, which we think is quite impressive.

When it comes to fleet quality, we like that their trailers are in good condition. We’ve tried different types of trailers, and every vehicle has been well-maintained—with new tires!

It’s worth noting that Hetman Rental cancels booking appointments for incomplete or invalid credit card details. Make sure that the credit card details are accurate to avoid issues.

Mountain View Trailer Rental can accommodate both short-term and long-term trailer rentals, making them a great choice for clients who require flexibility. They can even accommodate last-minute bookings, which is a plus in our books.

What’s great about them is that they help their clients in choosing the best type of trailer to rent out, depending on the usage requirements. Because of this, clients can make sure that they only rent out the right trailer size.

We love coordinating with this trailer rental company as they’re known to be friendly from start to finish. On top of that, clients appreciate that their booking process has been relatively easy.

Moreover, the payment scheme is also easy to understand, making it a great option even for non-technical clients.

After availing of the trailer rental, we’re quite pleased that the return process is quite convenient, as the trailer garage remains open even after official business hours.

Another thing that we love about this company is that their trailers are all in good condition and sturdy enough to handle even different types of equipment or machinery that will be loaded on the trailer.

However, there were a few instances of inconsistencies in the quotation.

Without A Hitch Rentals offers trailer rentals for transportation and moving purposes in and out of Calgary. They even have horse trailers, great for farm owners who require trailer assistance.

What’s great about them is that customers can conveniently check the dimensions of their trailer trucks online–complete with ballpark price details! Because of this, clients can plan their rental requirements accordingly.

We love that customers can choose flexible rental options by including daily, weekly, monthly, and even weekend-only rentals.

Another thing that we appreciate about this trailer rental company is that they have transparent pricing. We appreciate that we don’t need to worry about hidden fees, preventing bill shocks towards the end.

When it comes to safety, we love that the company ensures that safety features on each of their trailers are in place for a hassle-free rental experience.

Additionally, we’ve been hearing about clients who rave about clean trailers, even last-minute requested ones. We also appreciate that they let their clients drop the trailers off a bit later than usual.

We also love communicating with their team. In cases of overlooked calls, we admire them for calling the clients back as soon as they can, allowing them to address the queries right away.

While relatively new in the industry of trailer rentals, West Side Trailers Rental has been known for its wide range of trailers including utility and cargo trailers, making them a good option for commercial and residential use.

What’s great about this trailer rental company is that they have complete equipment and tools. They will provide even the straps, hooks, and tie-downs, preventing customers from making an effort to outsource these somewhere else.

We love that customers can maximize the company’s flexible rental options, allowing them to rent out trailers for both short-term and long-term use.

Speaking of flexibility, they also offer their clients convenient pick-up and drop-off times, even if it’s beyond business hours. We’re also quite pleased that the company tries to work around last-minute changes, whenever possible.

We appreciate that their client service team is responsive enough, to address their customers’ questions. 

It’s also quite commendable how proactive they are even during pick-up and drop-off times, allowing clients to have a designated point person at all times.

Moreover, they come on time, allowing clients to stick to their agreed timeline.

It’s worth noting, however, that even though their prices are quite competitive, their security deposits remain on the higher end.

True to its name, Big Load Trailer Rentals can handle heavy-duty loads such as car haulers, flatbeds, and equipment trailers. With that, renters who may need smaller trailers may have to look for another provider.

Since this trailer company has a convenient location, customers have been utilizing their services as drop-off and pick-up locations can easily be arranged—saving both renters and the company time and transportation costs.

When it comes to booking, we love that customers can just secure a slot online. There’s no need to request a quotation–just key in the dates and settle the payment online, adding convenience to clients.

The modern approach doesn’t stop there! We’re quite impressed that customers can just unlock the trailers using a code for the lockbox, which the clients will receive upon booking confirmation.

We love that even with all these digital methods, their team isn’t out of touch. Their customers can still reach out to them if they want a more thorough understanding of the process, ensuring everything they need will be covered.

We also appreciate that last-minute bookings can be accommodated, making them a great choice for urgent trailer rentals. However, this feature can be quite limited during peak seasons due to high demand.
