Ride On Rentals offers weekly trailer rental from our Delta yard for anyone who needs a box, dump, car hauler or equipment flatbed for more than a couple of days. The weekly term keeps the daily cost lower and lets you keep the unit through a full reno, a multi-day move or a contractor stretch without rushing to return it. You pick up in Delta, hook up and go.
Why a weekly term makes sense for longer jobs
A weekly trailer rental works when the job runs past a single weekend. If you are stripping a bathroom, framing a basement or clearing a lot, you need the trailer on site for several days in a row. Paying a daily rate for five or six days adds up fast, while the weekly price gives you a predictable cost for the whole stretch. You also avoid the scramble of re-booking each morning or paying late fees when the work runs long.
The weekly term also helps when you are moving house over a few days. You can load a little each evening, keep the enclosed cargo trailer locked in your driveway overnight and finish the move without a second pickup. For landscaping crews hauling soil, mulch or debris to multiple sites across Surrey, Langley or Coquitlam, the hydraulic dump trailer stays hooked to the truck all week so you just drive, dump and repeat.
Which trailer type fits a weekly job
Enclosed cargo trailers keep tools, flooring boxes or household goods dry through rain that falls most of the year around the Lower Mainland. The lockable door means you can leave the unit parked at a jobsite or in a driveway without unloading everything each night. The fleet includes a Formula Traverse model that shows the build quality you can expect.
Hydraulic dump trailers are the choice for yard waste, gravel, renovation debris or landscaping material. The powered lift bed lets you unload on uneven ground without shovelling by hand. Car hauler trailers handle a vehicle, ATV or powersport machine for a week-long transport or a show circuit. Equipment flatbed trailers, including the 7x16 open flatbed in the fleet, carry skid steers, pallets of pavers or long lumber that would not fit inside a box.
What tow vehicle and hitch do you need
Most of the fleet tows behind a standard truck or SUV with a Class 3 hitch. When you call or email, tell us the year, make and model of your tow vehicle and we confirm compatibility before you book. We also verify whether you need a 4-pin or 7-pin wiring connector for lights and brakes so there are no surprises at pickup.
If your vehicle sits lower or has a shorter wheelbase, we can discuss tongue weight and trailer balance so the combination handles safely on the highway and on the bridges and tunnel between Delta and Vancouver or Richmond. The goal is a stable tow for the full weekly rental period whether you are crossing the Alex Fraser daily or heading out toward Langley acreage.
How booking and Delta pickup work
You call or email with the trailer type, the dates you need it and a quick description of what you are hauling. We check availability, confirm the weekly rate and any hitch or wiring requirements, then lock in the reservation. No deposit details are published here; we cover those on the call so you know exactly what to expect.
Pickup is at our Delta yard. You arrive, we do a walkaround, hook up the trailer and you drive off. The yard is reachable from Highway 99, Highway 91 and the South Fraser Perimeter Road so it works whether you are coming from Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey or the Tri-Cities. Allow a few minutes for the walkaround and paperwork and you are on the road.
Weekly rental versus daily for common Lower Mainland projects
A bathroom reno in a Vancouver condo often runs five to seven days with debris coming out each morning. A weekly dump trailer lets you load as you demo and haul to the transfer station on your schedule. A daily rental would force you to return the unit each evening or pay extra days at the higher daily rate.
A household move from Surrey to Coquitlam spread over a long weekend fits a weekly enclosed cargo trailer. You load Friday, drive Saturday, unload Sunday and still have Monday for the last boxes and returns. Contractor stretches such as a fencing crew working a line of properties in Langley or a paving crew moving base material across Delta sites also line up with a weekly flatbed or dump unit so the equipment stays with the crew for the full cycle.
Planning the week so you do not pay for idle days
Map the work days before you book. If the project starts Wednesday and ends Tuesday, a seven-day weekly trailer rental covers it cleanly. If you only need the unit for three days, a daily rate may be cheaper; we will run both numbers when you call. Knowing the schedule also helps you choose the right trailer so you are not paying for a dump bed when a flatbed would do.
Factor in Lower Mainland traffic. A run from Delta to a North Vancouver jobsite can take an hour each way at rush hour, so build travel time into the daily plan. If you are crossing the George Massey Tunnel or the Port Mann regularly, leave a buffer so the trailer returns on time without a late rush. The weekly term gives you that buffer built in.
Keeping the trailer secure and legal for the full week
Lock the coupler with a pin lock when the trailer sits unattended at a jobsite or in a residential driveway overnight. Remove valuables from an open flatbed or car hauler and chain down any equipment that could shift during transport. For enclosed cargo units, engage the door lock and verify the seal is tight before you leave the unit each evening.
Check tire pressure and lug nuts before the first tow and again mid-week if you are covering long distances between Delta, Burnaby and the North Shore. Make sure the breakaway cable is connected and the safety chains are crossed under the coupler. A quick walkaround each morning prevents a roadside stop that would eat into your weekly rental schedule.
Frequently asked
Can I extend a weekly trailer rental if the job runs longer?
Yes. Call us before the week ends and we will check fleet availability and switch you to an extended weekly rate or a daily rate for the extra days, whichever is lower.
Do I need a special licence for a weekly rental?
A standard Class 5 licence covers most combinations with a Class 3 hitch. We confirm the tow vehicle when you book so you know before you pick up.
What if I only need the trailer for four days?
We will quote both the weekly price and the four-day daily total so you can choose the cheaper option.
Can I pick up the trailer on a Saturday for a week-long reno?
Pickup days depend on yard staffing. Mention your preferred start day when you call and we will confirm if Saturday handover is available that week.
What wiring connector do I need for the trailer lights?
Most units use a 7-pin connector for lights and electric brakes. Some smaller trailers run on a 4-pin. We verify the correct plug for your vehicle when you book.
