GearLocker is a small family-run business, and we kindly ask you to treat our equipment with the same care and respect as you would your own. Below you will find our Policies and Rental Agreement. Please review and sign before receiving your rental equipment and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your business and the opportunity to be part of your adventure!

Policies

Rentals are subject to the following Gear Locker LLC Rental Agreement.

Start Date
Your rental start date is the first day you entered in your Rental Dates during checkout. Your rental gear is available on your start date or up to one day early upon request.

Return Date

This is the day you must drop your gear off with us in the same container(s) provided with the order.

Condition of Gear Returned

All gear must be returned clean. While we don’t expect a full deep cleaning, we do ask you to shake off or wipe down dirt/sand, hand wash kitchen gear, and make sure everything is packed up the way you received it. If additional cleaning is deemed necessary by our team, you will be charged a $30 cleaning fee. We really don’t want to have to charge you for this, so please be mindful as wet and dirty gear can damage items.

Late Return Fee

We coordinate our rentals expecting you will return your gear on time. If for some reason this doesn’t happen, you will be charged a daily fee equal to the three-day rental fee divided by three.

Lost or Damaged Gear

We have experienced and fully understand the normal wear that comes with outdoor equipment. That is why we carry trusted gear from top brands that are built to last. We also know what damage outside of normal wear and tear looks like and you are responsible for repair or replacement. 

Lost or Stolen Gear

As soon as you receive your rental gear, it is your responsibility to get it back to us. If we don’t get it back, we will need to charge you.

Cancellation Policy

You may cancel up to 7 days in advance of your rental start date for a full refund. If you cancel within 7 days of your start date, you will be charged 50%.
