About Us

Verde Valley Rentals (VVR) began in 1976 as a small equipment rental store located at 1421 East Birch St in Cottonwood. Ross & MaryAnn Willoughby purchased the store in 1979 and promptly expanded to a new building at 403 South 6th St.  The business was primarily construction equipment, homeowner tools, and automotive equipment. Into the late 1980’s & 1990’s VVR grew with the new special event industry, adding tables & chairs and misc wedding supplies.  Inventory continued to expand until the 6th Street building was no longer able to accommodate both industries.  In 2010, the decision was made to separate the special event business from general tools & construction. Verve Events & Tents at 740 Airpark Way in Cottonwood was born.

The rental stores are now managed by Krysta & Philip Gornick.

Keeping the Willoughby family values of helpful friendly service with quality rental products remains at the forefront of all we do.

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

What do I need to rent equipment from Verde Valley Rentals?
You will need a valid Arizona driver's license and we require full payment prior to taking equipment.

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 as soon as possible if your plans change. Reservations are gladly taken over the phone.

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. Powered equipment 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.

What do I do if the equipment doesn’t work?

Call us immediately at 928-634-8531. If there is no answer, leave a message and we’ll get back to you. This call will document your problem and we will work with you to make sure you are taken care of.

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:
Equipment rental periods vary from the hour, day, week or multi week period. 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. Ask about your specific item for details.

Special Rental Rates:
Equipment rented on Saturday can be returned by 9 am Monday for a one day charge. Equipment rented after 4pm Monday-Friday may be returned by 9am the following day for the minimum charge. This rate is restricted to equipment for which a 3 hour rental rate is available. Metered equipment may have additional rate requirements. 

Your prompt return of equipment will save you money.
