Welcome to the A to Z Party web site. We hope you'll find it to be a convenient, useful, and interesting tool to help in your selection of quality equipment and services. Before you enter the site, take a few minutes to read about our company. Please feel free to use the Contact section to let us know how we can be of service to you. Your questions and comments are always welcome.

Why do business with A to Z?

Many companies in the equipment industry offer both rentals and sales. Quite often though, rental is emphasized and sales is a sideline -- or vice versa. At A to Z, we rent and sell with equal enthusiasm because there isn't "one size that fits all" when it comes to your equipment needs. We want to provide whatever solution is best for you. When it comes to equipment, you have "all the options" at A to Z. You can rent it, you can buy it new, you can buy it used, you can get parts for it, you can have it serviced or repaired and you can get financing for larger purchases. Our motto is "We sell what we rent, we service what we sell," and you know that it has to be sturdy equipment to stand up to the rigors of rental use.

People-

We look for good people and train them from the ground up so they become acquainted with the equipment and your requirements. Our staff, now over 150 strong, is dedicated, well informed and focused on their main function -- taking care of our customers. Family owned from the beginning, we intend to continue with our ambitious growth plans and that takes good people.

Locations-

Beginning as a small, home based business in 1960, A to Z has grown to a multi-million dollar firm with four large, full service locations. At each of the A to Z stores, you'll find a spacious display showroom, a huge inventory of whole goods for rental and purchase, a fully stocked Parts Department and completely equipped Service Shops. Our signature feature is our indoor drive-thru rental pick-up and drop-off lane where your equipment is quickly loaded and unloaded from your vehicle, all the while protected from the Arizona sun.

Products-

We are proud to be dealers for many of the world's leading equipment manufacturers. Names like John Deere, New Holland, Honda, Stihl, Big Dog, Exmark, Echo, Toro, Gravely, Wacker Neuson and many more. When we sell you a product, you can be confident it will stand up to heavy use because we stock our rental fleet with the same products.

Services-

We can't help you if we're not here when you need us. A to Z is open Monday through Saturday. We open early. We have an up-to-date fleet of delivery vehicles if you need your equipment delivered and picked up. We accept cash, checks, major credit cards or invite you to open a commercial or governmental charge account.

What are the benefits of renting from A to Z?

  1. Cost Control - At A to Z, the rate we quote is the rate you pay. Unlike most rental companies, we don't "nickel and dime" you with hidden fees or unexpected charges such as a "damage waiver". You know exactly how much a rental is costing you.
  2. Maintenance - you don't have to repair rented equipment - we do!
  3. Breakdowns - when rented equipment breaks down, we replace or repair it promptly.
  4. Warehousing - you don't need to store rented equipment - we do!
  5. Mobility & Availability - contractors can bid with confidence knowing that the exact equipment needed will be available when and where it is required.
  6. Inventory Control - we keep the records and bill you for the equipment you use.
  7. Disposal Costs - Selling owned equipment takes time and money. Rental equipment is simply returned to us when you're finished using it.
  8. Obsolescence - is eliminated. You don't get stuck with out-of-date equipment.
  9. The Right Equipment at the right time - we have many models, so you can pick the best one for your job.
  10. Taxes and Licenses - you don't have to pay and maintain them - we do!
  11. Conservation of business capital and increased borrowing capacity

If I don't know what equipment I need, will someone help me?

Yes! Tell us about your project and one of our rental professionals will recommend the best equipment for the job, and often provide you with a few helpful hints to make your job easier.

What do I need to rent equipment from A to Z?

You will need a valid Arizona driver's license and a major credit card to rent equipment from A to Z. Debit cards are accepted, but not recommended.

Can I reserve equipment in advance?

We invite you to reserve equipment in advance to insure availability. Reserve your equipment as early as possible. Please cancel your reservation if your plans change. Reservations are gladly taken over the phone. See Party Rental Policies for specifics on party and events reservations.

Will someone show me how to use the equipment I rent?

Our rental service techs will show you the safe and correct operation of the equipment that you rent. It will be started for you before it is loaded into your vehicle, or when it is delivered, and any questions you have will be answered.

Can I buy a piece of equipment that I have rented?

All of our rental equipment is for sale at any time. Our used equipment is a great buy because we maintain it so that it is always ready to rent. When a piece of equipment can stand up to tough rental use, then you can be sure it is durable and easy-to-maintain. If you want to buy the actual piece of equipment that you have rented, we will apply a portion of the rental charges toward the purchase price.

Rental Rates and Fees:

At A to Z, the rental rate we quote is the rate you pay. We don't "nickel and dime" you with unexpected charges or hidden fees such as "Damage Waiver" Insurance.


We sell time. We charge for all time out including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Equipment is rented by the day, week or 4 week period. Some equipment can be rented for a 4 hour rental minimum. One day's rent is up to a 24 hour period. Example -- If you rent equipment for a one day period at 10 a.m. one day, then it is due for return by 10 a.m. the next day. If you rent the equipment for a week on Monday at noon, it is due to be returned before the next Monday at noon. Metered equipment is restricted to 8 hours use per 1 day's rental. Additional charges will be incurred if the meter reading exceeds 8 hours.

Special Weekend Rental Rates:

Equipment rented on Saturday can be returned by 7:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. winter) on Monday for a 1 day charge. Equipment rented after 4 p.m. on Friday can be returned by 7:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. winter) on Monday for a 2 day charge.

Additional charges will be incurred if the meter reading exceeds 8 hours.

Additional charges will be incurred if the meter reading exceeds 4 hours.

Your prompt return of equipment will save you money.


Payment and Charges - Renting Equipment - All Types:

Rentals fees are collected in advance, when you pick up, or upon delivery of equipment. We accept cash (no cash payments accepted for delivered equipment), approved personal and business checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. Commercial or governmental charge accounts are available, subject to prior approval.


All equipment rentals are subject to a deposit. Deposit will be refunded if equipment is returned in good condition, and at the time agreed. In lieu of a cash deposit, an imprint of your credit card will be taken to guarantee the equipment will be returned in the same condition in which it was rented to you.


Replacement cost or repair charges will be assessed to you for any lost, broken, dirty, stolen or damaged equipment.

Can I give you my credit card information over the phone?

For your protection, we require positive identification of the customers in our store renting equipment, and we need to verify that they are authorized to use the credit card presented to us. We do not accept credit card information verbally over the phone, however we will fax or e-mail an authorization form to you. The form must be completely filled out, signed and faxed back to A to Z. In addition, we ask that you fax a copy of both sides of your credit card and a copy of your driver's license. Contact your nearest A to Z location to request a credit card authorization form. Be sure to include your fax number.

Do you keep my credit card information on file?

We do not keep credit card information on file. Given the complex nature of the rental transaction, we believe it is safer for our customers if we gather valid credit card information only at the time of each transaction.

Can I open a commerical charge account?

We welcome commercial and governmental accounts. Just click here to download an account application. Print the application, fill it out completely, and fax it to 602-468-9925. Your application will be carefully considered. Please allow up to five business days for processing.

All delivery requests other than "tail gate" will be charged by time. Please let us know if you will need this service so that we can arrange for staffing and additional time. Charges will be calculated at $75.00 per person, per hour. If any equipment damage should occur during transport from tailgate to another location, the customer accepts all responsibility.
