Yes.

On your Schedule C (Form 1040)

Travel (Line 24a) Travel costs related to business trips (e.g. lodging, airfare or rental cars, local transportation). The travel must be overnight, away from your residence and primarily for business.

Rent or Lease (vehicles, equipment) (Line 20a) Rent or lease payments on business property not owned by you (e.g. machines, equipment, vehicles).

My goodness! I have been searching for hours on where to put thousands of dollars that we have paid towards a 26 ft box truck rental to support our appliance delivery and installation business! This helped so much.
