Rental Guideline
Our cancellation policy
Items that are canceled less than seven days prior to the date of your scheduled delivery or pickup will have a 30% cancellation fee applied. If you cancel your items less than 48 hours in advance, you will be assessed a 100% cancellation fee.
Standard pickup and delivery rates
We calculate our pickup and delivery rates according to the distance and the estimated time that the delivery will take. Using this approach allows us to keep our costs lower, increase the number of deliveries and pickups that we can schedule and pass our savings on to you. Our delivery or pickup windows are based on a standard 8-hour window, a 4-hour window or a 1-hour window. When you place your order, your event specialist will determine your rates. If your delivery will require multiple trucks, it will cost more.
If the delivery will be to a venue or a business, you will need to give us the hours that it is open, the person to contact at the location and any additional instructions that might help us to have a smooth delivery or pickup process.
Special rates for deliveries or pickups
We charge special rates for deliveries or pickups that are scheduled after 5PM or before 9AM. Deliveries or pickups that are scheduled on weekends or holidays also have special rates applied in addition to the standard rates. Speak to your event specialist if your event will need these off-hours services.
Access of our truck to your location
If you are aware of any issues for large trucks being able to access your location, please tell us. These include such things as low branches, turn-around areas, narrow driveways, access codes and steep entryways.
Ancillary costs
We charge ancillary costs if your location will require delivering your items at a distance that is greater than 50 feet from where the truck can park. The fees will also apply if we must carry your items up and down stairs, elevators or steep slopes. If you will need ancillary delivery services, please let your event specialist know.
Rental fees
We base our rental fees on three-day periods, which includes delivery one day before your event and pick up one day after it. For Saturday or Sunday event, we deliver on Friday and pickup on Monday without additional charges for extra day. If you need an extended time period, additional rates are available.
