What is the minimum rental period for camping gear?

Our minimum rental period is three days. This means that the minimum charge for any rental is equivalent to a three-day use of the equipment.

What happens if the rental equipment is damaged during my use?

We understand that normal wear and tear are part of the rental experience and is included in your rental rate. However, if the equipment returns with rips, tears, excessive dirt or stains, or missing parts, additional charges will apply. These fees cover the costs of repairs or, if necessary, replacement of the damaged items.
