Payments and Holding Deposit

The amount of the requested deposit will be agreed with you before we arive and will vary according to the total replacement value of the items you are hiring from us. Your deposit is held in the unlikely event of any damage, loss or theft which may occur during the period of hire. This deposit will cover most minor instances of damage or loss.
