Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
Why can’t I reserve a rental for today?
Same‑day pickup is not offered; reserve for the following day and your gear will be placed in the shed at midnight.
When can I pick up my rental?
Anytime—the Rental Shed is accessible 24/7 and all rentals start at midnight on the first day of your rental period.
Where is the Rental Shed?
The Rental Shed is to the left of the operator’s front door at the end of the sidewalk; it has a fully automated door and is under 24‑hour surveillance.
Do you offer delivery or pickup services?
No—delivery and pickup services are not offered at this time; instead, the Rental Shed provides 24‑hour access.
Can I get a refund if I didn’t use my rental?
Charges are based on pickup and drop‑off times rather than usage; returning a rental early may allow for a partial refund if you notify the operator.
Why is there sometimes a $250 hold?
A credit card hold is placed for high‑value items as security; it is not a charge and is automatically released after seven days if everything is returned in good shape.
What if something is missing or not working at pickup?
Inspect and test gear before leaving the Rental Shed; if something isn’t working, call immediately so the operator can troubleshoot or arrange a replacement—issues not reported at pickup may not be eligible for refund.
