Rental Policy
RENTAL POLICIES – PRO AV RENTALS
Rental Day & Rental Rate = 24 hours
To guarantee availability of your rental equipment, you must reserve one or more weeks in advance, and a valid credit card is required for ALL reservations. Please specify if your order is urgent. We will do our best to accommodate your special needs. We do specialize in last minute/same day rentals - but you must call for availability.
RENTAL RESERVATIONS
To make a rental reservation, we require the following:
- FULL NAME / Organization NAME (if applicable) Phone Number and Alternate Phone Number, Valid & Current State Issued ID, Pick Up Date & Time, Return Date & Time
- Payment, Insurance, and Deposit Information:
Reservations are held up to 24hours prior to the scheduled pick up date. If you do not contact us by that time, your reservation will be canceled. Payment arrangements must be made prior to the reservation expiration. - You are billed for RENTAL TIME / TIME OUT, not RENTAL USAGE. If you pick up your equipment past your scheduled pick up time, your rate remains the same. All equipment must be returned on the agreed upon date and time (listed on your contract) - we allow a 2 hour grace period - additional charges will apply if you are late on your return up to a maximum of the daily rate.
PAYMENT TERMS (pick up)
We accept credit cards (VISA/MC/DISC/AMEX) as forms of payments for all rentals. All rentals MUST be paid for PRIOR to pick up. Sorry, CASH is not accepted at pick up, unless specific arrangements have been made with management. You must fill out a credit application for payments made via CHECK (Business/Personal) or on account.
SECURITY DEPOSITS (Credit Card)
All rentals require from 25-100% of the total value of the equipment to be deposited for security purposes. Please contact us for deposit requirements. All deposits must be secured on a Credit Card (sorry, no check/debit cards). A pre-authorized amount for the deposit will be charged to your credit card. Upon the return of your rented equipment, this deposit will be released and the funds will be placed back on your card. For rentals over a 5 day period, special arrangements must be made. Higher deposits might be required for older, non-replaceable equipment, such as vintage, discontinued, or rare gear. Deposits are not required for production rentals, or long term customers in good standing.
EQUIPMENT
We guarantee our equipment 100%. All equipment is thoroughly examined and quality tested prior to and directly after each rental to ensure that your event is successful and free of unexpected problems.
All problems with equipment must be reported immediately to PRO AV RENTALS to be considered for adjustment.
PRO AV RENTALS takes every precaution to prevent field failure, however, things do happen - especially with electronic equipment. We rotate our inventory to take advantage of the newest AV gear, and test each rental just before pickup or delivery. If the equipment does malfunction, our first priority is always given to day-of-event equipment failures (although these are extremely rare). Our TECHNICAL SUPPORT department is on-call 24/7 by calling - 1.800.884.0653 to assist you with any complications you might have with your rental. Where required, a replacement unit or service technician will be dispatched as soon as possible.
INSURANCE
Insurance is required for rentals valued at over US$1000.00, in addition to a 100% deposit of your deductible or the FULL value of the equipment, whichever is less. Insurance is the responsibility of the Renter. Any damage or loss is at the expense of the Renter, barring mechanical failure caused by normal wear and tear. PRO AV RENTALS is not responsible for any incidental or consequential damages, inconvenience, or loss caused by product failure.
ALL RENTALS REQUIRE PERSONAL GUARANTEE ON FILE
Proof of adequate insurance coverage may be requested at time of pickup.
INSURANCE CERTIFICATE
CROSSFIRE SOUND PRODUCTIONS, LLC. must be the name and address typed in as the certificate holder. We will not accept hand written insurance certificates. CROSSFIRE SOUND PRODUCTIONS, LLC. must be listed as the LOSS PAYEE. The insurance MUST state that it covers rental and leased equipment. The minimum coverage for this equipment must be at least $100,000.00. The insurance certificate must be both faxed or emailed and brought in at the time of rental checkout. We will still require a security deposit equal to the DEDUCTIBLE on our insurance policy or the FULL value of the equipment, whichever is less. FAX # 1.800.884.0653
If you do not have your own insurance, we've partnered with a 3rd party insurance provider, Heffernan Insurance Brokers - https://insuremyequipment.com/
