Red Epic-X Camera Rental

Red Epic-X Camera Rental

Epic-X #125 available for rent for about half the rate that rental houses charge.

How do I do it?  I’m not a rental facility, that’s how.  I’m a Director/Producer and and renting is a small part of my business which means I’m able to offer it for less than the going rate.

Since it’s my personal camera, it also means that it’s not out constantly on rentals and is very well cared for and maintained.  So if you’re looking for a good rate on an Epic, give me a call.

Rental Terms

Insurance is required on all Red camera package rentals. For inexpensive items, a deposit equal to the value of the item is required.  The full rental fee is due at pick up. The insurance certificate needs to be sent at least one business day prior to your pick up.  Renter pays all shipping costs if not being pick up locally.

Weekly rates are 3 day weeks. Weekly rentals are 7 calendar days long, e.g., if you pick up on a Monday, it’s due back in on the following Monday to be considered a one week rental.  For weekend rentals, pick up is Friday afternoon with return on Monday morning.  If paying by credit card, paypal or google checkout,  the 3% fee they charge will be added to the rental fee.  A deposit in the amount equal to your equipment insurance deductible is required which will be returned if there is no loss or damage.

A non-refundable deposit equal to 30% of the total rental fee ($300 min.) is required to guarantee and hold the equipment for specific dates.  A deposit isn’t required but without it there’s no guarantee the equipment will be available for your dates. For example, if you have  a one day rental I can hold the camera for you without a deposit being paid, but if a 2 week rental comes up and wants it for the same time, they will get the camera.  With a deposit, your dates are locked in.
