Our rental periods are based on two models: weekly and production.
Weekly Rentals are 7 calendar day periods starting on the date you take the items out. The longer you rent an item, the lower the weekly rental rate goes.
Production Rentals are 16 week rentals, and the most bang for your buck. Production rentals must be chosen upon rental. If not, then all rentals will be based on weekly rates and billed as so.
