Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 1, 2005, United Rentals issued a press release announcing that, based on discussions with representatives of several bondholders, it has extended the expiration time for its pending solicitations of consents from holders of its outstanding bonds and QUIPs securities. As extended, the consent solicitations are now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2005.

The press release is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

As previously announced, on August 22, 2005 United Rentals commenced a consent solicitation to amend the indentures governing its bonds and QUIPs securities, which amendments would, among other things, allow United Rentals up until March 31, 2006 to complete its SEC filings. United Rentals has not yet received the requisite consents. Representatives of several bondholders have contacted United Rentals to request certain changes to the terms of the proposed amendments. If as a result of these requests United Rentals changes the terms of the solicitations, United Rentals will disclose the changes in a public announcement.
