Rental Procedure
Online
- Browse the rental inventory via the index located in the left column and note your selection by name and/or stock number. (Hint: Open each item with a separate browser tab. This way you can easily review multiple items.) Alternately, you can leave us your list and we can compile a selection of possible choices. We will then email to you a link to an "Online Show & Tell" where you will find images, dimensions, circa, and other relevant information for the selected items.
- Call or email us with your final selection to confirm cost and availability. A quote can be emailed to you.
- Print or copy your selection (images and/or pages) for distribution and review by your production colleagues.
- Contact us to reserve your final selection and schedule a time for pickup. Normally, a refundable deposit is required at time of pickup for rental or "show & tell" items. This deposit requirement may be waived under certain conditions. Please ask if this applies to your production.
- Pick up your order. You will be asked to read and sign our standard Rental Agreement and provide a Deposit Cheque (if required).
Our Rental Terms & Conditions are copied below. The actual Rental Agreement Form can be downloaded here:

At the Warehouse
A computer is available at our warehouse for your use, should you wish to browse the inventory. Any items you wish to see can be retrieved for your inspection.
"Show & Tell"
Most items are available for sign-out at no-charge for the purpose of "show &t tell". Normally for 24 hours, unless specified otherwise.
"Custom Rentals"
Most of our rental items can be custom-modified by us to meet a specific production need. Occasionally, you may find an item in our inventory that could perfectly meet your needs if not for some minor details: different coloration, different control labels, the addition of lighting effects, etc. Save significant budget dollars for where it is needed most, by avoiding the fabrication of a costly Custom Prop. Visit our "Custom Rentals" page for more details.
