We hold full retail value deposits on all rentals. However, you are eligible to waive up to 80% of the deposit if you are able to provide a pay-stub or a mortgage statement. **Provide business or homeowners/renters insurance that covers property of others, and add IE Photo Rentals as ADDITIONAL INSURED & LOSS PAYEE and we can waive the deposit up to $5,000. Anything above may require a minimum 10% hold. Select items may require a deposit regardless of documentation.

You can pick up your rental from the moment we open. However, Monday is our lenient return day where orders can return as late as 7pm. Most often your order will be available. If you have a time sensitive schedule we would advise calling in or sending an email to ensure your item is in stock before you arrive.

Prepare to allow 5 to 10 minutes to set up your account when you arrive.

As a new customer, we will need you to verify your ID through our Identity verification system. You will receive a text message asking you to scan your ID and take a picture of yourself.

We will also need to add your credit card on file to our PCI  Compliant system.

Once all your information is verified you are all set to rent with us. We will need to update your credit card information on file every 6 months.

If for any reason you would not like to follow our verification process, we, unfortunately, will not be able to rent to you.

Any questions or concerns send us an email to Team@iephotorentals.com

A rental period starts the day after your rental pickup. If you pick up Friday for a three-day rental, your rental days are Saturday, Sunday, and return Monday.

At this time we don’t allow rentals or returns on Sunday because we are closed. If you have a Thursday pick-up, the system will require you to select a four-day rental period. In order to ensure accurate rental availability, for all of our customers, you will need to add an additional day. We do not accommodate three-day pricing on pick-up.

When you pick up, you are billed for the amount of time you originally requested. When you extend you will be starting a new rental period. However, one day extensions are billed at 30% off the 3 day rate. Orders extended two days or more are billed at the standard three day rate. It is always cheaper to rent longer up front than to extend.

Awww, we wish you didn’t have to cancel, but we know it happens.  We just ask that you call or email us to let us know. Include your full name and order confirmation number and we’ll cancel your order. We greatly appreciate you letting us know so that your items may become available for other customers.

Yes, we offer a damage waiver for accidental damages. However, it does NOT cover water, sand, lost or stolen items.

At the bottom of your order cart, you will see a damage waiver total. When you arrive in the store you will have the option to add or decline.

If damages do occur you will not be responsible for more than 10% of the damage cost or replacement value.

Ex: A lens breaks and the cost of repair is $500.00 If you happen to incur damages you are only responsible for up to $50 of the overall repair cost.

Note: A damage waiver is not insurance coverage. If your item is lost or stolen you will be responsible for the full replacement cost. Also, the damage waiver is not a replacement for the deposit.

We advise all of our customers to purchase 3rd party insurance. If you provide us with a copy of your policy (C.O.I)  IE Photo Rentals must be listed as an Additional Insured and Loss Payee. Please ensure we are listed for both. We may waive our deposit requirement up to $10,000 of your coverage amount. All policies must be year-long and list coverage as property of others. Your policy will not qualify if it only lists Liability coverage. Be advised that we may require a deposit regardless of your coverage amount.

Note: Verifying your insurance on weekends or after 5 pm may not be possible and may cause delays in your rental. All insurance documents are verified by us with a call to your agent or insurance company. If we can not reach them to ensure you have sent us a valid document, we will not be able to waive the deposit. Please submit before your arrival to give us time to verify your documents. It is best to have your documents sent directly from your insurance provider to team@iephotorentals.com

If you need insurance, we have partnered with Athos Insurance to provide you with instant insurance coverage. CLICK FOR INSURANCE

We clean, check, test and log every piece of equipment after every return to ensure that the item has returned in working condition. We note all dings, scratches or issues. If equipment starts to look warn, we work to cycle it out of our inventory.

If the equipment is having any issues at all, please notify us immediately so that we can resolve the issue as fast as we can. Please make sure to test all of the equipment that you rent from us prior to your shoot. Once you pick up, you are responsible for the care and returning condition of that particular item.

We do understand that technology can experience various issues at anytime, so we are very reasonable when it come to issues we can clearly identify as a cause of active use or random technology error. However, scratches, dents, missing items and apparent mishandling we will charge for.

When an item returns damaged we place a hold on your card for $250.00 until we can determine an accurate quote for the repair or replacement cost. If the damages are less we will return you the difference less our damage processing fee of $50.00. If the repair value is over $250 and or the item needs full replacement, we may sell the item and charge you the difference between the sale price and the replacement. In some cases we charge for the full replacement value and give you the broken item in exchange.
