Security Deposit

We are currently working with Global Payments to add the credit card pre-authorization option. However, to allow for the rapid deployment of the rental service, a deposit will be temporarily required. At a later stage, once pre-authorization is deployed, we will be able to offer the rental service without a deposit. You will be informed of the progress of this matter.

The security deposit will be $800 for the rental kit.

A deposit or credit card pre-authorization is required for each rental to cover breakage, loss, or late returns.

Rental terms and conditions

A valid ID or driver’s licence is required (name must match the credit card used for payment). Gear must be returned clean, complete, and on time. The customer is responsible for any damage, loss, or theft during the rental period. Recreational use only.
