RENTAL PRICING & INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Rental Pricing By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers

We price our camera, lens, and other cinema equipment rentals in a way that rewards renters for working with us and offers package and weekly discounts. The longer you rent from us, the cheaper the rental gets for you!

1-Day Weekends

When you rent from Friday afternoon through Monday morning, you get the entire rental period for the price of a 1-Day rental.

4-Day Weeks

When you rent for more than 4 days up to a week, the rental will be charged as 4 days – resulting in up to 3 days free per week. The same goes for 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc. – you’ll always just pay 4 days per week.

Weekend Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs

While we are closed on weekends, and we cannot promise that one of our staff will be available on a given Saturday or Sunday, we try to accommodate weekend equipment pick up and drop off requests when possible. A weekend pickup or drop-off, if approved, will come with a $50 charge.

Insurance / COI Requirements and Alternatives: Deposit or ShareGrid

Camera and lens rentals involve valuable equipment, ranging in replacement costs from $50 to $100,000. For this reason, all rentals come with a certain minimum required insurance or security deposits. We work hard to give our renters maximum flexibility – these are your options:

USE AN EXISTING INSURANCE (COI)

To rent equipment, the safest method to protect your rental is to have an equipment rental insurance. If you already have a policy, great – just select this option on check-out and send us the COI before picking up your gear.

GET A NEW INSURANCE POLICY

You can bind a new insurance policy, for this rental or annual, through a number of insurance vendors. We’ve listed some insurance vendors below.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

If the total replacement value of your rental is below $5,000, we can place a security deposit on your credit card instead of requiring an insurance policy.

INSURANCE THROUGH SHAREGRID

Use this $20 discount link and get your insurance through ShareGrid. It’ll take you 10 minutes, and they usually verify within 2 hours during the week. Also, we’ve conveniently placed a “rent through ShareGrid” button on each listing.
