Rental Policies

2-About-Rental-Policy

Rental Rates

Rental rates are based on a daily (24 hour) rental period).  Weekend rental rates are based on a daily rate which covers the period Friday, 12:00 p.m. to the following Monday, 12:00 p.m. For deliveries, we try to deliver the day before your event and pick-up the next business day after your event for the one day daily rate. The rental rate applies whether or not the rental item is used.

Reservations

Advance reservations are recommended to ensure that the items you want are available.  We rent on a first come, first serve basis, so it is suggested that you make a reservation as soon as you know what rental items you want.  A minimum $40.00 reservation fee is charged for each reservation and is applied toward the rental cost of the equipment.

Reservation Changes and Cancellations

Order changes and cancellations may be made without penalty within 7 days of the beginning of the rental period (14 days for tent rentals). Cancellations and change reductions within the cancellation period are subject to forfeiture of the reservation fee.

Payment

Reservations require a receipt of a reservation fee of $40.00.  The reservation fee is applied to the rental cost.  Payment of the full rental cost is due prior to delivery or at the time of order pick-up.  Payment may be made with you chip credit card.

Security Deposit

Each rental requires a security deposit of at least $100.00.  The security deposit for most rentals is one-half of the rental cost, with a minimum of $100.00.  Certain rental equipment items require a higher deposit amount.  Please discuss with your event consultant.  The security deposit is satisfied by an authorization of the amount to your credit card.

Pick-up and Delivery Service

Rental items may be picked-up at any of our locations.  If you would like to pick-up your items at a location different from the location at which you made your reservation, please let us know at the time the reservation is made.  We deliver rental items for reservations of at least $100.00.  The delivery fee is based on the delivery geographic location with a minimum fee of $95.00.  Special delivery times and locations may incur an additional delivery fee.

We deliver to the ground floor within 75’ of our delivery truck.  Stairs, elevators and above ground deliveries incur an additional fee.  Let us know your special circumstances and we will provide you a quote for the additional charges.  Special arrangements must be made prior to the scheduled delivery date.

Order Accuracy

Before pick-up or delivery, we inspect your rental items to ensure your satisfaction.  Please check your order upon receipt and confirm that all items have been received and meet your satisfaction. Contact us immediately with any discrepancies or damaged items.
