PROTECTION FAQ
Common questions about damage protection and coverage details.
When should I purchase damage protection?
+
Protection must be added at the time of booking. It cannot be added after gear delivery or during your rental period.
What happens if I decline protection and damage occurs?

You will be responsible for the full repair or replacement cost of damaged gear. This can be significantly more expensive than the protection fee.
Can I get a refund on unused protection coverage?

Protection fees are non-refundable once your rental period begins, even if no damage occurs. Think of it as peace of mind insurance.
How quickly can I get replacement gear after damage?

With Complete or Premium coverage, replacement gear is typically available within 24-48 hours. Basic coverage may take 3-5 days.
Does protection cover damage to my personal gear?
