Frequently asked questions
Booking is simple. Tell us your dates and the gear you want — via the website, WhatsApp, email or phone — and we'll confirm availability and price. You then complete our quick online ID verification (a secure link we send you — it takes about two minutes with a passport or national ID from any country), pay the hire fee plus a refundable security deposit on high-value items, and sign the rental agreement. Book early — popular kit goes fast.
To hire you'll need: our quick online ID verification (we send you a secure link — passport or national ID, it takes about two minutes), a copy of both sides of your photo ID, and a signed rental agreement (issued once your booking is confirmed). High-value items also carry a refundable security deposit.
Hired gear is your responsibility while it's out. You have two options: add our optional damage waiver for 10% of the hire fee — it covers accidental damage (an excess applies) but not theft, loss, negligence or water damage — or go without it and bear the full repair or replacement cost of any damage or loss yourself. Please note: personal travel insurance almost never covers hired camera gear, so we can't accept it in place of a deposit or waiver.
Yes — a refundable security deposit applies to high-value items. The amount depends on the equipment's value and your hire history, and it's refunded promptly once the gear is returned in good working order, after inspection. Visiting Kenya? We schedule the return and inspection before your departure, so everything is settled before you fly.
Our standard daily rate applies to each 24-hour period. A 1-week rental is charged at 4 days, and longer hires may qualify for additional discounts. Rates exclude VAT (if applicable), delivery, and the optional damage waiver.
You can collect items from our Karen, Nairobi location by prior arrangement. We can also arrange delivery for an extra fee. Delivery costs vary by location and distance. Request a quote when booking.
We understand that plans can change. Our refund policy is as follows:
75% refund if cancelled more than 72 hours before the hire start date
50% refund if cancelled within 48 hours
25% refund if cancelled within 24 hours
No refund if the hire has already commenced
Cancellations must be made in writing (email or message confirmation required).
Refunds are processed within 7 working days.
You're responsible for the gear from the moment it leaves us until it's returned and checked. Loss, theft or damage means covering the repair or replacement cost — unless it's accidental damage covered by our damage waiver (an excess applies). Misuse or negligence is never covered.
If equipment is returned late without prior notice, additional daily hire charges will apply.
If you anticipate a delay, please contact us as soon as possible — extensions can often be arranged depending on availability.
