FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

                   UNITED RENTALS PRICES SENIOR NOTES OFFERING

GREENWICH, CT, April 4, 2003 - United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) announced today
that it priced an offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 10-3/4%
Senior Notes due 2008. The initial offering price will be 103.5% of the
aggregate principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of $207 million and an
effective yield to maturity of 9.676%. The Notes will have the same terms as the
Company's outstanding 10-3/4% Senior Notes due 2008 issued in April 2001 and
will be governed by the same indenture. The transaction is expected to settle on
April 9, 2003. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering to
repay outstanding borrowing under its accounts receivable securitization
facility, which continues to remain available.

The Notes are offered pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements.

Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking in
nature. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "contemplates," "expects," "will," or "anticipate" or the
negative thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. The
offering has not been completed and its completion is subject to a variety of
uncertainties, including general market conditions and changes in the Company's
business and operations. The Company makes no commitment to revise or update any
forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the
date any such statement is made, except to the extent required by law.
