We will make our best efforts to accommodate last minute or same day requests, but they are not guaranteed.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY: You are able to cancel your order for a full refund within 48 hours after payment. Any cancellation requests made after that will receive half of the rental payment.

INSURANCE: For rentals exceeding $800 in insurable value, as well as for gear that is consigned through CCGL, equipment insurance is required. The process for submitting a Certificate of Insurance (COI) will be detailed during the request process. Please also review the FAQ page for resources to purchase production insurance.
