The company rents construction and industrial equipment from hundreds of branches, having consolidated a fragmented industry through acquisition since its 1997 founding. Renting shifts equipment ownership off contractor balance sheets, and fleet utilization plus disciplined used-equipment sales determine returns. Scale allows specialty fleets such as trench safety and power generation that smaller competitors cannot justify. Non-residential construction and industrial maintenance spending drive demand. Headquarters are in Stamford, Connecticut.

A protective put caps your downside on the URI position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current URI option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share URI position at $1,116.38 is worth $5,581,900. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $111,638 to $223,276) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off URI's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

United Rentals equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge URI stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and URI's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current URI option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does United Rentals grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at United Rentals typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
