Rentals

Try it out and put it through a workout before you commit your hard-earned cash to actually owning it!

We have a wide variety of audio-visual and photographic equipment for rent.  If you do not find the item your looking for here - ask - as we try to accommodate all requests.

The minimum rental is billed as a one-day, twenty-four hour period.  If additional rental days are required, you are only billed for half of the first day's rental for each twenty-four hour period beyond the initial rental agreement.  The weekly (seven days) rental is billed at three (3) times the first day's rental rate - and Saturday to Monday ( the best deal!) is billed as a one-day rental.

All rentals require a valid California drivers license, or State ID, U.S. Passport or other valid Government ID (with proof of residency in California), AND a valid major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express) or a cash deposit for the full retail value of equipment rented.  Sorry, no checks are accepted for security deposit purposes!

Rental fees are payable in full at time of the rental transaction. 

The rental department is closed one half-hour before close of business. 

Advance reservations are highly recommended - especially on weekends!
