Is There a Fee to Borrow Equipment?
The equipment is FREE to borrow.
At this time, we would like to keep this program accessible to all, and are not requiring a Damage Deposit upfront to loan equipment. However, if renters continue to take advantage of this option by returning damaged equipment, continuously being late with returns, renting and not picking up, etc. this policy is subject to change.
