It depends on the situation. If damage happens due to normal wear & tear, you will not be responsible for damages. If a rented item shows damage or fails during the rental, you should contact the office immediately. If the damage is due to negligence, intentional acts or malfeasance, you are responsible for replacement of the equipment. We don't want that for you or us, so we offer a damage waiver for a small fee that covers most damage caused during the rental.

No. We will arrive early to set up. The rental time starts once we complete our set up (unless other mutually agreed upon arrangements are made.)

We offer setup and breakdown service for an additional fee with those items. Delivery fees are applied to every order based on distance from our warehouse.

That depends on our rental schedule. Generally, we arrive 1-2 days before the rental time begins. Pickup is generally the following day, but can take place up to 2-3 days following the rental.
