Tips
TIP 1 - Use bundles for full kits.
TIP 2 - The shorter the reservation the easier it will be to book. If you want it longer, add a note with the desired return date and time and we will do our best to accommodate you.
TIP 3 - Use the bookmark feature to highlight equipment you use often.
TIP 4 - To fix simultaneous pickups & returns, alter the start or end time by 15 minutes (or longer).
TIP 5 - To fix min lead time, you must push your start time back to a later time. If this cannot be done, you will need to book in person.
TIP 6 - Large reservations (over 5 items) should be made a minimum of 2 hours in advance to ensure we have time to build it.
NOTE: Large reservations made with short notice may not be completely built at your time of arrival.
TIP 7 - To fix max checkout time - reduce the length of your reservation until the error has been removed. All equipment has a maximum checkout length, usually 3 days with some exceptions.
TIP 8 - Add further info or requests to the notes section of the reservation, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please don't write an essay, be as brief as possible.
