RENTAL TIPS

  6. Did you know that when you sign a rental contract you are agreeing to return the same equipment you picked up by the agreed upon date? Surprise!
  7. Most party equipment rentals are considered EVENT RENTALS – pick up most equipment day before & return day after (2 days & pay for 1)
