We do our best at ChangingGear to make your rental experience a pleasant one. If you have any questions or your rental needs fall outside of our normal bookings please let us know and we will work with you to find a solution.
MAKING A BOOKING
Bookings can be completed online, over the phone or via email. Payments can be made by credit cards, Interac transfers or cash. Payment is required at the time of the booking. You will receive an email confirmation of your booking and a reminder email prior to picking up your rentals.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATION POLICY
If a cancellation occurs with less than 72 hours notice a 50% change fee applies. This will be 50% of your booking total. Outside of that time period cancellations are given a full refund. Please contact us via phone or email to arrange a refund. You can change your booking if items are still available anytime prior to 72 hours before your rental.
RENTAL PERIOD
The rental rate is based on a per night basis. We can arrange for shorter rentals if necessary.
PICKING-UP YOUR RENTAL
Unless special arrangements have been made prior to your pick-up, you may pick-up your rental any time during business hours on the first day of your rental and may return no later than closing time on the last day or your rental. Either you or someone else can pick up your order. If another person will be picking up they will need to know what name your order is booked under and settle any remaining balance owing on the account they will need to sign the waiver and will be responsible. If you require your rental items to be picked up or returned outside of business hours please let us know and we will do our best to arrange.
We require an authorization on your credit card for most items – the complete list of deposits required is here. The maximum authorization put against a credit card will be $350. An imprint of your card will be taken. The authorization will come off your card within 7 to 10 business days. Photo identification is required on all rentals and out of country renters must present a passport. You must be 18+ years old to rent from ChangingGear. We do not accept pre-paid or debit-credit cards as a deposit. All tent rental returns will require an additional 24 hours to process to ensure that the tent has been properly setup and tested and is still in the condition that it was rented. All other rentals will be ChangingGear’s responsibility once they are returned to the store and the drop off process has completed.
