Can I cancel a preorder?

Yes. Cancel any time before your preorder ships or is picked up for a full refund to your original payment method. Email us with your order number. If the brand cancels or changes the product, you get a full refund. Once a preorder ships, it falls under our standard return policy.

Pick up after 5pm the evening before and return by 11am the morning after your last day at no extra charge. Late pickups or returns, or full extra days, are charged the daily rate.

Is there a rental deposit?

We take a credit card as a deposit for lost or broken gear. It is only charged if needed. Gear returned dirty has a $10 cleaning fee. Every renter signs a rental agreement, and a parent or guardian signs for renters under 18.
