No, our Squamish and Vancouver locations offer different rental items. Rentals must be returned to the same store they were picked up from.

Yes, we’ll need to cancel your original booking and create a new one for the correct location. Please contact us if you'd like to change your rental reservation location.

Yes. Within 2 hours of closing, you can pick up your reservation for the next day only if the item is available (not currently out for rent with someone else). You can call us or stop by the store to check. If you really need the item the night before then you should select that day as your pick up day.

Plans change, we know! That's why we offer the flexibility to cancel your reservation up to 24 hours before your pick up time with no penalty. If you cancel within 24 hours of your pick up time, the first day will be charged but you will get a refund for any additional days booked. Please contact us by email if you wish to cancel your reservation.

If you’d like to return your items early, we can refund you for the unused days (note: the first day is non-refundable). Please ensure all rental items are returned to the same location where they were picked up.

The return time for full day rentals is before our closing hours on the day it is due back. Even if you selected an earlier time for the return of your item in the booking calendar, the item is still allocated to you for the full day, so you can use it before our closing hours.

No. Currently we only rent items for full days, however we do offer a discounted rate on afternoon rentals only when the item is available and only for walk-in customers. Afternoon rentals are 4 hours before our store closes and to be returned on the same day. This cannot be booked online. If you need to guarantee availability or wish to return the item the following day then you should book a reservation for the actual pick up and drop off time.

Yes. Your credit card will be authorized for the replacement value of the items rented. This is not a charge and no interest will accumulate. You may see the transaction as authorized or pending (to ensure availability of funds), but no charge will be made unless items are lost or returned damaged beyond normal wear and tear.

Yes. We offer discounts for guides renting for their clients and the community.
