About Open Trails Rentals

Local. Family Owned.
Here When You Need Us.

Open Trails Rentals has been serving Middle Tennessee since 2015. David and Jessica Sells founded this business together — a family owned operation based in Lascassas. Not a franchise, not a national chain. When you call, you talk to the people who own it. When something goes wrong, we show up.

Built in Middle Tennessee. Built to Last.

David Sells founded Open Trails Rentals in 2015 with a simple idea — Middle Tennessee deserved a local trailer rental company that was honest about pricing, reliable on delivery, and actually available when something went wrong. Ten years later, that's still exactly what we are.

We started with a small inventory and a commitment to upfront pricing — no hidden fees, no surprise charges, no runaround. That commitment hasn't changed as we've grown. We now offer five categories of rentals and have served customers across the region for everything from Bonnaroo camping trips to emergency food storage for restaurants to housing families displaced by floods and fires.

"We're a local family business. When your community needs us, we show up."

Open Trails is family owned and operated — David's wife Jessica handles the finances and his daughter Delaney leads marketing. This business was built to be passed down, and every decision we make reflects that. We're not here to maximize short-term revenue. We're here to build something our community can count on for the long haul.

What Makes Us Different.

01

Upfront Pricing

The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, no mystery charges at pickup. We believe in honest pricing because that's how we'd want to be treated.

02

Family Owned

We're not a franchise or a national chain. We're a local family business based in Lascassas. When you call, you talk to the people who own it — not a call center.

03

We Show Up

When something goes wrong — a freezer fails at 2am, a family loses their home, a restaurant needs cold storage today — we answer and we deliver. That's not marketing, that's how we've operated since 2015.

04

Built to Last

This business was built to be passed down to the next generation. Every decision we make reflects that long-term thinking — in the equipment we maintain, the relationships we build, and the community we serve.

When Disaster Strikes, We're There.

Over the years, Open Trails has provided emergency camper housing to families displaced by flood and fire damage across Middle Tennessee. When a family loses their home, they don't need a sales pitch — they need a solution, fast.

We've been that solution. A camper on your property while you rebuild is not a perfect answer, but it's a real one. And as a local family business, we understand what it means to be part of a community that takes care of its own.

If you're facing an emergency housing situation, call us. We'll do everything we can to help.
