Five stars for all their employees. I had sewer drainage problems and needed a 3/4" electric snake. It worked fine. I then rented their 1/2" snake and found it was easier to use and not as dangerous. Rebecca and her gang were terrific and always HAPPY to help. I love this place. Beekman Beavers read more

I worked with Central Virginia Rentals when helping a client who had trouble with another rental company. The staff at Central Va jumped right in to help and they were very nice to work with. Their pricing was very competitive and they had a large selection and lots of options. read more

Watch out! I rented a trailer with a ramp / gate. When I tried to drive my lawn mower up the ramp, the ramp screen buckled. Most of the welds where the screen attached to the ramp frame were broken. And they had been for some time. I was lucky not to damage my mower. When I returned the trailer, they said that they knew the gate was broken. But they sent it out anyway. Better watch these guys. read more

Beware this company is only interested in $$$, not customers. We rented an industrial snaking machine for 1 day to clean out water pipes on my 90 yr mother's property in Palmyra VA. The job was very hard and took all day. Being 20 miles from CVR we contacted them to see if we could return the machine 1st thing the next Colonial Life Arena day and not be charged for a 2nd day. Per CVR should not be a problem. However, the next day we were charged a 2nd day. Result we will never hire, or recommend from this company again. read more

History

Established in 1972.

Central Virginia Rental was established in 1972 by Norman Kiser. The first center was opened in a two bay gas station at the corner of Meade Avenue and Market Street in Charlottesville, Virginia. The opening inventory had a cost of approximately $75,000. In 1975, the Center was moved to a larger building around the corner on Market Street. In 1977, it was moved again to a new location, a new 5,000 square foot building at 1141 River Road. The Waynesboro Center was opened in 1976 and in 1980 moved to its present location. The Staunton Center was opened in 1985 in the old Pepsi-Cola building at 708 Richmond Road. In 1988, a full-service party center was opened in Charlottesville at 1139 River Road. On December 1, 1991, the Culpeper Center, which had been in operation for more than 10 years, was purchased. In 1994, the Harrisonburg Center was opened on Emmaus Rd.

Fantastic storage facility! I needed storage in the area, and I found this storage company online…read more I moved in through the website, I received a confirmation email with all the details and I also received a phone call from one of the representatives confirming I had everything I needed to move in. When I drove up to the facility it looks spectacular from the hwy 29. My code worked, I found my unit with the green tag just as the representative advised me. The unit was super clean , the climate control hallway was clean the facility is well lit at night! My move her was just perfect! I have stored other places but this facility by far is one of the nicest in the area, I would even say In the state!

You can also rent a parking spot for a trailer or RV too and get all of your packing materials right there.

I bought it used for $1000 bucks which I was told then it was like new lol. I never got a full mow season out of it. The owner wouldn't refund my money after they attempted to fix it twice. I wasn't in the outdoor power equipment business so I had no use for it if it didn't work. I am local too, so this was a real disappointment. I finally bought a brand new craftsman, and it has been wonderful. Oh and they never even sharpened the blades I was told they would do. This place was just awful.

Great work on everything o bring in.. Fast.. on time!! Will continue to have OPE service my future…read moreneeds

He then…read morewouldn't blow up another one (I had 4 of the same balloons), said he would have to charge me for a new one, and refused to give me a refund because I brought it in myself. Horrible customer service and I will never come back here. Terrible value, very overpriced for helium. I paid nearly $40 for two balloons because they would not refund me. Highly do not recommend anyone come here. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Absolutely incredible. As someone who plans a lot of parties and events, this place was impressive…read more To start off, it was in a very convenient location with lots of parking. Added plus, it had a nice front display (not cheap looking like Party City). The customer service was excellent- when we walked in they helped us find what we needed (a giant bow) immediately. When we went to find balloons, James (one of the staff), helped me find the right ones. He also saved us from deflated balloons. We went the store the day before the party and he asked us when the party was because certain balloons only last 24 hours; it's a good thing he checked because we ended up needing to pick up the balloons the next day otherwise they would've deflated before the event! I was incredibly impressed with how thorough he was. He kept helping my group- it's obvious he's going above and beyond at his job. The other woman working was also lovely- really all the staff! The store also had a great selection of items and good hours- great find!!!! SKIP PARTY CITY AND GO TO THIS PLACE!

Randal is an excellent Master Plumber. He knows what he is doing, explains things patiently, and…read morewhen on the phone or at your home, is respectful. But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.

When cleaning the carpet Bryan doesn't completely soak your carpet in water like most cleaning services, so the dry time is reasonable. The price point was terrific, I quoted about three other companies and his was the best deal.
