7,655 independent equipment and tool rental stores: 7,336 in the US and 319 in Canada. 6,147 are American Rental Association member stores from the ARA's public locator, and 1,508 more are rental yards from Overture Maps place data (the machine and tool rental category, plus rental places whose name says equipment or tools) that are not ARA members. Every location of the chains is taken out, matched by phone, by street address or by a shared name word within 150 metres: United Rentals, Sunbelt, Herc, EquipmentShare, Sunstate, Alta, Custom Truck, Mobile Modular, Cat Rental Stores, and the Home Depot and Lowe's rental counters. Chains we do not sell as lists (Ahern, H&E, the Taylor Rental and Grand Rental Station banners and others) are taken out by name, and so is any regional chain with 25 or more locations. Party and event rental is a different buyer, so ARA stores that list party rental and neither construction equipment nor general tools are left out. ARA rows keep the member's own flags: construction equipment (5,156 stores), general tool (3,665), party (1,567) and aerial work platforms (224). 1,226 stores are also in one of our dealer or hardware lists, named in the alsoInList column: 441 Bobcat dealers with a rental yard, 150 Kubota, 128 John Deere, 128 Ace Hardware, 124 True Value, 106 Do it Best, 78 Case and 66 Komatsu. Phone is filled on 98.9% of rows and website on 84.4%.

The file has all 7,655 locations across 52 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### What counts as an independent rental store here?

An equipment or tool rental store that is not a branch of a chain. Every location matching one of our chain lists by phone, street address or a shared name word within 150 metres is taken out: United Rentals, Sunbelt, Herc, EquipmentShare, Sunstate, Alta, Custom Truck, Mobile Modular, Cat Rental Stores, and the Home Depot and Lowe's rental counters. Other chains (Ahern, H&E, Taylor Rental, Grand Rental Station and more) are taken out by name, and so is any name with 25 or more locations.

### How is this different from the ARA member list?

The ARA member list (12,724 stores) is every store in the American Rental Association's locator, chains and party rental included. This file keeps the 6,147 ARA stores that are independent and rent equipment or tools, and adds 1,508 independent rental yards from Overture Maps place data that are not ARA members.

### What does the alsoInList column mean?

The store is also in one of our dealer or hardware lists: an equipment dealer or hardware store that runs a rental yard. 1,226 stores carry it, most of them Bobcat (441), Kubota (150), John Deere (128) and Ace Hardware (128) locations. They stay in this file because they are independent rental stores; filter on the column to keep or drop them.

### Does it include Canada?

Yes: 319 Canadian stores, all ARA members, alongside 7,336 in the US.
