•	A consistently superior standard of service to customers, often provided through a single point of contact;

•

The further optimization of our customer mix and fleet mix, with a dual objective: to enhance our performance in serving our current customer base, and to focus on the accounts and customer types that are best suited to our strategy for profitable growth. We believe these efforts will lead to even better service of our target accounts, primarily large construction and industrial customers, as well as select local contractors. Our fleet team's analyses are aligned with these objectives to identify trends in equipment categories and define action plans that can generate improved returns;

•

The implementation of “Lean” management techniques, including kaizen processes focused on continuous improvement, through a program we call Operation United 2. As of December 31, 2014, we have trained over 2,100 employees, 100 percent of our district managers and 30 percent of our branch managers on the Lean kaizen process. In 2015, we will continue to implement this program across our branch network, with the objectives of: reducing the cycle time associated with renting our equipment to customers; improving invoice accuracy and service quality; reducing the elapsed time for equipment pickup and delivery; and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our repair and maintenance operations; and

•

The continued expansion of our trench safety, power and HVAC, and pump solutions footprint, as well as our tools offering, and the cross-selling of these services throughout our network. We plan to open at least 16 specialty rental branches/tool hubs in 2015 and continue to invest in fleet to further position United Rentals as a single source provider of total jobsite solutions through our extensive product and service resources and technology offerings.

•	A year-over-year increase of 4.5 percent in rental rates;

•	A year-over-year increase of 9.6 percent in the volume of OEC on rent, which reflects the impact of the National Pump acquisition, increased capital expenditures on rental fleet and improved asset productivity;

•	64 percent of equipment rental revenue derived from key accounts in 2014, as compared to 61 percent in 2013. Key accounts are each managed by a single point of contact to enhance customer service; and

•	An increase of 49 rental locations, including locations acquired in the National Pump acquisition, in our higher margin trench safety, power and HVAC, and pump solutions (also referred to as "specialty") segment in 2014, comprised of 41 locations in the United States and eight in Canada.

•	Industrial and other non-construction rentals represented approximately 51 percent of our rental revenue, primarily reflecting rentals to manufacturers, energy companies, chemical companies, paper mills, railroads, shipbuilders, utilities, retailers and infrastructure entities;

•	Commercial construction rentals represented approximately 45 percent of our rental revenue, primarily reflecting rentals related to the construction and remodeling of facilities for office space, lodging, healthcare, entertainment and other commercial purposes; and

•	Residential rentals represented approximately four percent of our rental revenue, primarily reflecting rentals of equipment for the construction and renovation of homes.

•

Equipment Sharing Among Branches. We generally group our branches into districts of five to 10 locations that are in the same geographic area. Our districts are generally grouped into regions of four to seven districts. Each branch within a region can access equipment located elsewhere in the region. This fleet sharing increases equipment utilization because equipment that is idle at one branch can be marketed and rented through other branches. Additionally, fleet sharing allows us to be more disciplined with our capital spend.

•

Customer Care Center. We have a Customer Care Center ("CCC") with locations in Tampa, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina that handles all telephone calls to our customer service telephone line, 1-800-UR-RENTS. The CCC handles many of the 1-800-UR-RENTS telephone calls without having to route them to individual branches, and allows us to provide a more uniform quality experience to customers, manage fleet sharing more effectively and free up branch employee time.

•	Consolidation of Common Functions. We reduce costs through the consolidation of functions that are common to our branches, such as accounts payable, payroll, benefits and risk management, information technology and credit and collection.
