Once you’ve determined what you want, when you want it, and for how many days, use the the contact email to email us. We’ll then confirm availability, and email you back usually with a proposed appointment time.

Let’s say you want a Canon 8-15mm for one day. You find it on the list, go over to the first column (1 day), and if you aren’t using a credit card, it’s $40 + $3.60 tax = $43.60. For five days, you go over to the third column (4-7 days), and see that it lists for $80. Add $7.20 for tax (and possibly the 4% credit card convenience fee), and that’s your total to have that lens for five days.

Payment is check (made out to Charleston Multimedia LLC), Venmo (@CMedia / Charleston Multimedia), Cash App ($CharlestonMultimedia), credit card if you’re willing to pay the 4% convenience fee, or cash and due when picking up gear. Listed prices do not include the SC sales tax of 9%. The bounced check fee is $35. Due to issues with some previous customers, some larger orders will require a $50 retainer when the reservation is made, fully applicable to the rental, but that will not be refunded if the rental is abandoned; this is to cover our time and effort to gather and prepare the gear

We are in West Ashley, in Pixel Studios, at 1040 Gardner Rd (go to the corner of Gardner and Jenkins, then take a left), # 2A Charleston, South Carolina 29407, and by appointment only. Arrangements can sometimes be made for alternate locations, as well as delivery/emergency delivery, typically $50-$75 around Charleston.

Hours are by appointment only. Punctuality is the standard, and not the exception, so unless otherwise agreed upon, exact set appointment times are to be honored.

You may incur a late fee, $1 for every minute you’re late, or simply not get your gear, so it really is best if you show up on time, or better yet, a few minutes early.

Usually a copy/photo of your driver’s license and a credit card, along with a business card, are enough. Usually no deposit is required. However, due to issues with some previous renters, some larger orders will require a $50 retainer when the reservation is made, fully applicable to the rental, but that will not be refunded if the rental is abandoned; this is to cover our time and effort to gather and prepare the gear.

No, so you are assuming all risk when renting. There are now several sources of short term insurance available online. Some homeowner’s insurance policies cover this, some not, so it’s best to make sure. If you damaged/lost the gear, or had it stolen, you’d be responsible for a repair or a like-condition replacement. Please keep in mind that rental charges will continue to accrue while the gear is either repaired or a replacement is procured; this is because it’s not possible to rent something to someone else that’s not available due to damage/loss.
