Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our rental process

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made more than 48 hours before your reservation receive a full deposit refund. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows forfeit the $10 reservation deposit. See here for more details.

How does equipment inspection work?

All equipment is inspected and tested between each reservation. We will review any damage with you and photograph the equipment before your booking. Upon return we will inspect and test the gear.

Can I modify my reservation?

Yes! Changes can be made as long as we have equipment availability. Please contact us directly for assistance.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards: American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, JCB, and UnionPay. A credit card must be kept on file for security deposits.

How do deposits/payments work?

Our deposits and payments are taken securely through our payment provider Stripe. They place an authorization (sometimes referred to as a 'hold') on your credit card. This does not capture payment, or incur interest during this period. Rental fees will be charged at the end of your reservation when gear is returned. The remaining hold (damage deposit) will be released back to your card, so long as the gear is returned in good condition.
