Rental Requirements

Before your first rental

Please review the requirements below before pickup. Completing these items ahead of time helps avoid delays and keeps the rental process smooth.

Valid ID Required

A valid government-issued driver’s license is required for first-time renters or any authorized person picking up equipment.

If your ID is from out of state, two forms of identification may be required.

Insurance or Deposit

Some rental items may require annual production rental insurance, equipment rental insurance, or a credit card authorization for the full replacement value of the rented item or items.

The credit card authorization is held as a deposit and is only charged if items are not returned, returned late, or returned damaged.

COI Requirements

Some items may require a deposit or proof of equipment rental insurance, also known as Inland Marine coverage.

Please send your Certificate of Insurance to coi@lafilmrentals.com or rent through us on Sharegrid.

Rental Policies

Important renter guidelines

Please review these policies before pickup and return. They help protect the equipment, your reservation, and future renters.

Security & Safety

Our location is well-lit, monitored by security cameras, and designed for safe, easy pickup and drop-off access. Most vehicles can access the driveway for loading and unloading.

Communication

Please let us know when you plan to pick up and drop off so we can coordinate appropriately. If something is lost, broken, delayed, or damaged, contact us as soon as possible.

Failure to communicate after the rental return period has elapsed may be considered abandonment and may move to recovery.

Inspection Policy

All items are inspected before departure and upon return, or typically within 3 days for larger rentals.

A cleaning fee may apply if equipment is returned after use in harsh environments. If repair or replacement is required, an estimate will be provided.

Lost, Missing, or Damaged Items

If rental items are damaged, missing, or not returned, you will be responsible for reimbursement, repair, or replacement costs.

Please keep your insurance deductible in mind, as you may be responsible for out-of-pocket repair or replacement costs that fall below your deductible.

Items Returned By Accident

If you accidentally return something that does not belong to LA Party Rentals, we will do our best to notify you.

Unclaimed items will be held in lost and found for 90 days.

  • Extension cords are included with rentals requiring AC power, usually in 25′ or 50′ lengths.
  • Sandbags are included with stand rentals in various weights.
  • Stands are included with some lighting rentals when designated.
  • Backpacks, bags, or cases may be included to help transport and protect rental equipment.
