You can submit a quote on our website and a customer representative will contact you within 48 hours to confirm if you would like to make it a reservation. Submitted quotes are not a reservation until a customer service representative contacts you to make further arrangements.

You can also call us at (858) 689-7368. If needed, one of our Event Specialists may be available for an onsite consultation, and their services are FREE!

You are welcome to place an online quote, however the rental equipment will not be guaranteed until you have spoken with a representative, and a deposit is established or the invoice is paid in full.

We accept all major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover), cash and checks. Sorry, but we cannot accept checks from new accounts.

Full payment must be received two weeks prior to the date of your event. If you place the reservation more than two months ahead, a 50% deposit is needed. An additional deposit may be required when paying by cash or check. (The additional deposit amount is based on the total amount of the order placed).

A credit card must be on file, even when paying by cash or check, for incidentals.

All rates quoted are based on a 24-hour rental period per item; however, we allow extra time for the customer to pick-up/drop off.

We prefer to deliver the day before your event and pick up the day after. If that is not possible, other arrangements can be made.

Any rental equipment kept for longer than specified will be charged according to our price schedule.

Delivery and pick up rates are based on the time and the location of your event.

Delivery and pick up rates are quoted as a round trip fee. We do not offer a one-way rate.

Depending on your location, there is a minimum order amount that must be met before delivery charges are applied. Please note: Our normal delivery and pick up times are Monday through Saturday, 8 AM-5 PM. If a more specific time is needed, there will be additional charges.

It is strongly recommended that the customer be available onsite for delivery and pick up times.

If the damage waiver is declined, and any rental items are damaged or missing, the customer will be responsible for the full replacement charges for the items.
