Rental policy
Damage & return policy
What happens if equipment is damaged during my rental?
Customers are responsible for all equipment from the time of delivery or pickup until it is returned. Repair costs are assessed based on the extent of damage. If equipment is damaged beyond repair, the full replacement cost is charged. All equipment is inspected before and after each rental.
What if items are missing when I return the equipment?
Missing items — including cables, adapters, and accessories — are charged at full replacement cost. Please ensure all components are returned with the equipment. A return checklist is provided with each rental.
What if I need to extend my rental?
Extensions must be requested and approved in advance. Late returns without prior approval may result in additional charges. Contact us as early as possible if your event runs long or your needs change.
