There are places you walk into and you know right away someone cares. That is what stands out about Star Rental LLC.
On paper, it is an equipment rental business. They have what you need—power tools, trailers, trenchers, lifts, skid steers, mini excavators, even tables, chairs and lighting for events. If you are working on a project, running a job site or setting up something for the community, there is a good chance they have exactly what gets it done.
They also deliver across northeast Kansas. They make it easy for people to use it. But that is not why people keep going back.
Renferd Koehn, owner, runs the place with a personal touch that people notice right away. He pays attention. He asks questions. He makes sure you leave with what you need.
That matters when you are deciding between a trencher or something heavier. It matters when you are figuring out if a mini track loader will do the job or if you need something bigger. And it definitely matters when you are trying to get something done on a timeline and do not have time to guess wrong.
He takes that guesswork out of it.
And then there is the range of what they offer. This is not just contractor equipment. It is also the everyday stuff—lawn and garden equipment, smaller tools for home projects, and the kind of rentals that keep small crews and homeowners moving. At the same time, they can handle the bigger jobs with lifts, loaders and excavation equipment.
And then there is the coffee.
You do not expect a place like this to serve a great cup of coffee, but they do. Renford uses coffee roasted by his brother-in-law, which makes it feel even more personal. It is one of those small details that tells you this is a family business.
Family-owned. Community-minded. Built around service.
Star Rental serves people across this part of northeast Kansas. Whether someone is there for equipment, a project or a quick stop, Renferd and his team take time with people.
That’s why people keep coming back—and why it’s worth seeing for yourself.
