According to InternationalRentalNews, rates that were 3-4% are now at 8-9%. It is clear that acquiring new equipment can be more costly than ever when you want to expand your equipment offerings.

These programs are not new. They’ve been around for over 10+ years. Several business owners are opting to no longer fund their customers’ exotic credit card reward programs. They are simply passing the processing rates to the customer.

The difference between an equipment rental cash discount program vs a surcharge program for equipment rental companies is rather small. They are the exact same program when a customer pays with a credit card. A flat fee that covers most credit cards is applied to the total at checkout.
With a cash discount program, at the register, your customers will be provided with two separate options. A cash option or a credit card option. The cash option will discount 3.5% on the total. The logic is that if they paid with credit cards, you’d net the same amount anyway. So you are giving your customer the deal instead of the major credit card companies.
With a surcharge program, equipment rental companies will not show a cash or credit option at the terminal. The program will simply add the 3.5% surcharge. Many times called a non-cash rate adjustment meant to cover the costs associated with accepting credit cards.
No matter the program you choose, getting set up is simple. Nothing needs to change internally as our no-cost equipment does everything for you. There are no calculations or anything that staff will have to do. They ring up a customer and the customer decides how to pay, just like it is now.
It is important to note that you’re not profiting anything from this change. You are merely covering an expense that you use to be responsible for. Breaking even on the deal. Many clients utilize credit cards strictly for accumulating points and you now will not be funding their airline miles, hotel stays, cash back, etc.
To make the breakdown easy, let’s use a real example. Let’s say a customer wants to rent a boom lift for a week. Let’s call it $1,500.00.
With cash discount pricing, the customer would see cash and credit on the terminal. If they choose cash, a 3.5% discount ($52.50) would automatically be applied for a total of $1,447.50. If they chose a credit card, a 3.5% non-cash rate adjustment would be added so it would be $1,552.50.
With a surcharge program, if the customer paid cash there would be no cash discount for a total of $1,500.00. If the customer chose to pay with a credit card, a 3.5% ($52.50) non-cash discount rate would be applied to their charge and automatically added for a total of $1,552.50.
If you choose to offer a cash discount program, you incentivize the client by giving them a way to actually save money which use to go to the processor if they paid via credit card. If you want to maximize savings, you can opt for just a surcharge pricing. This is up to you as most states allow both options and you can remain 100% compliant with EliminateCardFees.com surcharge or equipment rental cash discount program.
