Excavator Rental Average Costs. Excavators can be rented by the day, week, or month. Not surprisingly, larger and more powerful excavators will cost more to rent than smaller models. Daily rates range from $350 to $1,600 or more. On the low end of that price range youâll get a small model like the Bobcat 442.
If you have to level a sloped site or bring in a lot of fill, hire an excavator for a day to help prepare the site. Then figure on spending a day building the forms and another pouring the slab. In our area, hiring a concrete contractor to pour a 16 x 20-ft. slab like this one would cost $3,000 to $4,000. The amount of money you'll save by doing the work yourself depends mostly on whether you have to hire an excavator. In most cases, you'll save 30 to 50 percent by doing your own work.
