4. HOW LONG CAN I RENT EQUIPMENT?

• Our rental period operates on a day-to-day basis. A rental period is charged for a one day minimum. If a same day delivery and a same day pick up are requested during the available times, a one day minimum charge will still apply and an additional $50 fee may be assessed, ensuring your equipment is conveniently delivered and picked up within the same day.

• If you need equipment for more than one day, simply select the desired dates on the calendar provided to ensure your rental period fits your event needs and our schedule.

9. WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?

• We understand things happen and there are many reasons you may find the need to cancel.

•You can cancel anytime.

•To receive your full down payment (50% of total invoice made at checkout) refunded, you will need to cancel 7 business days or more prior to your scheduled date and time you selected.

• If scheduled rental is canceled less than 7 business days from the scheduled rental date and not the date of the event, the cancellation fee is 50% of total rental invoice (down payment), this payment WILL NOT be refunded and is considered the fee for canceling less than 7 business days.

• If the cancellation is made on the same day as the agreed rental date, the charge is 100% of the total invoice. You will be charged the full balance or any remaining balance owed of the total invoice to add to the 50% down payment you made at checkout to equal the 100% same day cancellation fee. This policy is in place to compensate for holding the rental equipment for the agreed upon scheduled date, which prevented it from being rented to other customers.


10. WHAT IF I AM NOT AVAILABLE AT SCHEDULED DELIVERY TIME?

• We will attempt to wait a 30-minute period (as long as schedule allows) from the scheduled delivery time selected.  If we are still waiting and the customer arrives, we will access the $5 for every 15 minute increment waiting fee.

• If you are unavailable at the time of delivery and wish for us to leave the rental equipment, we require a confirmation email or text from you granting permission. This confirmation must include your acceptance of full responsibility and liability for the equipment being left unattended. Please note that equipment will only be left unattended in a secure location, subject to our discretion.

• If we do not receive any contact or communication (text, phone, or email) from you within 30-minutes of waiting after the agreed-upon time, you will be charged the full invoice amount for the rental period.

• To avoid any inconvenience or additional charges, we kindly ask that you keep lines of communication open with us.

12. HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

• For bookings made more than 7 business days before the event: A down-payment of 50% of the total rental cost is required at the time of online checkout.

• This down-payment will be calculated as half of your total invoice amount.

• The remaining balance is due 7 business days before the scheduled delivery. This is non-negotiable.

• Delivery Service Charge: You will need to select the delivery service charge during checkout. If this is not selected, you will receive an invoice requesting 50% of the delivery charge to fully secure your booking and satisfy the 50% down-payment requirement.

• Please note: Base Service Fee of $50 is applied to every order. Mileage for Delivery & Pick-Up is $0.76 per mile (calculated for two round-trips distance to and from the delivery address). These charges will be calculated and included to ensure the 50% down-payment accurately reflects the total rental cost.

• For bookings made less than 7 business days before the event: The full 100% balance is due at the time of checkout.
