If you do not receive the email verification code, click “Use phone verification instead”. A verification code will be sent via text message.
If you receive an error, it is usually due to a phone number mismatch.
-
What’s happening:
-
The phone number entered must match the format in the rental system exactly. The system does not reformat or normalize phone numbers when validating.
Even if the number is the same, differences in formatting—such as including or excluding a country code, spaces, or symbols—can prevent a match. -
Example of a mismatch:
-
Stored in system: +18135551234
-
Entered by you: (813) 555-1234 → This can result in a validation error
-
-
-
How to resolve
-
Re-enter your phone number using numbers only, including the country code, without spaces or special characters. Example: +18135551234
-
If you still need assistance, contact the rental store and verify your phone number on file.

Home Screen
On the home screen, you'll find clickable tiles where you can view contracts in a specific status (Quote, Open, Reservations, Returned). You can also use the top menu to access your contracts, invoices, rentals, and track information.
Contract tab
Click on Contracts to view all of your active and historical contracts. Please note that you may not be able to view historical contracts as this ability is not available on all versions of the Consumer Portal.
Once clicked, you can search by Contract Number or PO Number (red), Date Range (yellow), and Contract Status (purple). To view more contracts than are displayed, press the Load More button at the bottom (green).
Once you've identified the contract you're looking for, click it to open more details.
This will show the pertinent details for the rental, including eSign and Make a Payment (if the account has been set up for that, an eSignature is needed, or if there is a balance).
If the rental store is configured for payment or a balance is owed, you will see the Make a Payment button. Additionally, if the customer needs to sign off on changes or the initial order, the eSign Button will display.
If you want to book an order again, that is supported by clicking here.

Fill out the pertinent fields requested.
Click "Submit request to book this again"

If you're looking to identify items based on dates, that's supported here.
In some cases, you will want to see all the items you have currently or reserved items in the past year, so we've allowed a status button to view that quickly.
There are self-service features built in, so we'll demonstrate selecting two items.
