# Extend or end rental

If you need a machine for longer, extend the rental. Once the work is done, release the machine, and we'll take care of the return transport.

## Reminder via SMS

Shortly before the rental ends, the on-site contact person receives an SMS. The link in it leads directly to the process without an app and without login credentials. The project manager also receives a notification. You determine whether the SMS is sent when you submit the rental request.

## In klarxMANAGER

You can also extend or release machines at any time in klarxMANAGER via the respective rental order. The individual steps are shown in [Manage ongoing rentals](/en/help/for-customers/klarxmanager/manage-active-rentals).
