Compaction equipment rental costs vary depending largely on the size of the machine you choose and your location. For example, a 26-inch double-drum walk-behind roller can cost you about $188 a day, $690 a week, or $1,638 a month. A 66-inch single-drum ride-on smooth roller can cost approximately $383 a day, $1,202 a week, and $3,058 a month. And a 84-inch single-drum padfoot roller is at the top end of the rental scale costing $546 a day, $1,529 a week, and $4,368 a month.
