About South Portland, Maine

South Portland sits across the Fore River from Portland proper, with active construction corridors running along Broadway, Cottage Road and the commercial stretch of Route 1 near the Maine Mall. Contractors working utility upgrades, drainage projects and site prep along these dense corridors rely on mini excavators and skid steers to work within tight right-of-ways. Residential projects throughout neighborhoods like Knightville and Cash Corner—deck builds, yard grading, tree removal cleanup—generate steady demand for compact equipment and dump trailers to haul debris. Commercial and retail work near the Jetport and the waterfront industrial areas brings in aerial lift needs for facade work, signage installs and maintenance at height. Big Rentals connects contractors and property owners with local equipment owners across the South Portland area so renters can compare available machines, check specs and book directly.

What is the Big Rentals damage protection policy?

Eligible rentals booked through Big Rentals also include Basic Rental Protection at checkout. This added protection can help limit your financial responsibility for certain damage or theft events during the rental period.
