Renter Requirements

18 or Older –

Valid US State-issued Photo ID or a Passport

Valid Non-Debit Credit Card

Equipment Coverage

Must be 18 or older. A valid US photo ID and a major Non-Debit Credit Card with enough line of credit available to hold the full replacement value of the equipment you are renting. Once we receive your equipment back and if there are no damages or losses, the Security Deposit on your card is released. Alternatively you can provide a Certificate of Insurance that covers rented Photo Equipment for the full replacement value, naming Adorama Rental Co as the Certificate Holder or Loss Payee. In this case, we will only put a hold for the amount of your deductible on your Credit Card. We do not provide Insurance. We strongly encourage renters to obtain an insurance policy, especially if you rent frequently or when the replacement value of your orders is high.

When will my credit card be charged?

At the time of reservation a $1 hold will be placed on your card for verification purposes. Upon pickup of the equipment, if you use a Credit Card to cover the replacement value of the equipment, we will authorize your CC for the full replacement of the equipment. The rental fee will be charged when your equipment is returned.

When does the “Hold” get released and put back on my credit card?

Authorizations (holds) will be released within 72 hours of the return of your order minus the rental fees. Please check with your credit card company as to when your funds will be made available in your account. If you prefer, you can pay with a different Card for the rental fee but it will result in the bank delaying the release of the authorized funds.
