Six-month barn build: what happens if we cancel the rental early?

Early cancellation triggers a fee. The rental company charges a cancellation fee to cover the administrative cost of changing the schedule and the lost revenue from the unused rental period. The exact fee structure is in your rental contract. Some companies prorate the final bill based on the actual rental period, while others charge a flat early termination fee. You must review your specific agreement to see the terms.

The rental company will schedule a pickup after you call to cancel. The pickup timing depends on their trucking schedule, but they usually come within a few business days if the unit is accessible. Since your unit is on level gravel near the access road with good truck access, the pickup should be straightforward. A standard portable toilet is quick to load. The company will not leave the unit on your property indefinitely after cancellation; they have an incentive to retrieve their asset for the next job. Your final invoice will show the rental charges for the time used plus any applicable cancellation fee.
