No, we don’t. The customer is responsible for any damage to the rental equipment or for lost or stolen rental items. We checked with our insurance company, and they would only cover in the case the rental equipment was stolen from you and you filed a police report. Other companies may charge you an insurance fee, but that will only reduce the replacement cost you will have to pay.

No, we don’t require deposits or payments to reserve a rental order. We just request you sign the contract.

For delivery addresses outside the DMV area, payment is required prior to shipping the order.

Yes, as long as you let us know of the cancellation 24 hours before the delivery or shipping dates. If you let us know of the cancellation the same day the equipment has been delivered or shipped, you will only pay for delivery and pickup costs. After the delivery or shipping date, charges will depend on how long you have kept the rental equipment.
