You will create your own password-protected account when you place your first order. After you have added what you are looking to rent to your shopping cart, you will fill out the "New Customer" form located on the check out screen. There, you will enter in your desired email and password.

We accept all major credit and debit cards. Please note we do not accept cash, checks, virtual, reloadable or pre-paid cards (e.g., Venmo and Cash App cards).

We strongly encourage that you place your order online and complete the verification process before coming to the office, especially if you are a new Aperturent.com customer. This ensures that we can process the order and have everything ready for you before you come in. It is possible to place an order in person at our offices, however keep in mind our verification process can take up to 3 hours on high volume days as we process orders in the order they are received.

We do not require a deposit for most orders, however in some cases a credit card deposit, certificate of insurance (or both) may be needed to meet the requirements of our own insurance company.

If you need someone else to pick up your order please notify us as soon as possible. In most cases this can be done by signing an Authorization Form specifically for that order, which we will need to e-mail to you. Please note that in some cases the cardholder will need to be present for the pick up.

Yes. You can place orders as far in advance as you'd like, this will help ensure that the item will be available for the date you need it. Our system will monitor reservations and allocate equipment to your order as your reservation date comes closer.

You will be able to select the date you would like to pick up or have your rental delivered during the checkout process.

The optional insurance offered through our website covers damage only. It does not cover water damage, missing accessories, or lost/stolen equipment.

There is a 10% deductible based on the retail value of the main piece of equipment being insured. This deductible applies to any damages to the equipment and its accessories as a whole. For example, if you rent a lens valued at $1,000 (the main piece of equipment), the deductible is $100, regardless of whether the lens or any of its accessories (like a case or lens hood) are damaged.

In the event the equipment is damaged, we would send it off for repair and the charge to you will be based on the repair cost. If the repair cost is less than the deductible (in the example above, less than $100) then you are responsible for the repair amount. If the repair cost is greater than the deductible (in the example above, greater than $100) then you are only responsible for $100.

The insurance safeguards you from the responsibility of paying the entire repair cost or the full replacement value in the event of extensive damage.

• Local Pick Up Orders: We count our rental days by starting the day you pick up. For 3-day rentals, you get your order for 3 nights and you return on the fourth day. For example, if you pick up a 3-day rental on a Monday, your return day would be Thursday. Same policy for all other rental periods. If you rent for 7 days, you will keep the order for 7 nights and return on the 8th day. You have the entire business day to return rentals (Weekdays 9.30am to 5.30pm). If your return day falls on the weekend or a holiday, the order is extended at no additional cost to return the following business day.
  
  
• Shippping Orders: Shipping orders work the same way, we start counting the days the order is delivered to you (or the first delivery attempt, if you are unavailable to sign for the delivery). For example, a 3-day rental delivered to you on Monday will be due to be shipped back on Thursday. Transit times do not count towards your rental period. Our orders are shipped using FedEx 2-day service (or overnight at an additional cost). We are unable to deliver on weekends.

We do our best to go through every piece of equipment and make sure no issues are found before it's assigned to another customer. However, if you find your rental is not working as expected please give us a call or email us right away, even if you find the issue outside of our regular business hours.

If you need to notify us after hours it is best to e-mail info@aperturent.com as we will get your message quicker that way, or you can leave a voicemail at our main number which is (866) 360.6161. We will get back with you as soon as we can. In most cases, we can troubleshoot the issue with you over the phone. If not, we can arrange to exchange the equipment, we are here to help!

We are always expanding our inventory. You may request equipment we are not yet carrying by filling out our short Gear Request Form. Once you submit the form we'll notify you as soon as possible if we are able to add the item to our inventory.

We don't include printed user guides with the equipment, however we offer PDF guides for most of the items we carry, you can find them under the User Guides section.

Yes. When you refer someone to us, you will earn 10% of your referral's total rental fee. It's as easy as forwarding them a link to our site. Visit our Referral Program page for all the details.

With the frequent renters program, you can have 10%-15% discount applied automatically to all of your rentals.

However, you must maintain the 10/20 rentals within a 12 month period in order to keep your discount, meaning 10/20 completed orders within the last 365 days of your current order. If your rentals lapse a few days, weeks or months, it is very likely that you will not be qualified for the same discount. You can easily reestablish the discount by having the required amount of rentals for each level.

For more information on our frequent program visit our Frequent Renters page.

Visit our ebay page Used Camera Place for a list of used equipment we currently have for sale. At this time, we do not buy used equipment.

Studio space is available in Atlanta, GA through Aperturent Studios.

When you place an order with us there is a pending charge implemented to the card. We don't capture the full transaction until your order is picked up or shipped out. When you cancel your order prior to picking up (or us shipping it out), the funds are immediately released on our end. It is then up to your bank to release the hold and make the funds available in your account.

For some banks this process is immediate, however it is possible for this process to take between 48 and 72 hours. If you still see a pending transaction and want to expedite the process, you can call your bank and let them know that the transaction has been voided.

If you have not picked up your order (or it hasn't been shipped out yet), you may cancel it anytime without a cancelation fee. To cancel your rental, log into your Aperturent.com account. If you need help, don't hesitate to e-mail or call us. Please note we are unable to cancel a rental once it has been picked up or shipped out.

While we do our best to keep the rental process as simple as we can for our customers, we have to process all orders through our own insurance company. As part of our standard order verification process, we must ask for identifying documents to make sure nobody is using your credit card without authorization.

For local customers we ask for this information in advance in order to expedite the pick-up process. Verifying a new customer can take up to three business hours, by sending the requested documents in advance we can make sure your order ready when you get to our office. Our verification process cannot begin until we have received the documents.

Our verification process for new customers typically takes about three business hours. The process can take longer on high volume days as we process orders in the order that they are received. We recommend monitoring your e-mail. We will send you any requests for additional information via e-mail, as well as confirm once your order has been processed.

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) may be requested for certain orders based on the value of the equipment being rented. If you have a business insurance policy, you may be able to issue a certificate of insurance through your insurance agent. Personal insurance policies such as renters or auto insurance cannot be used. The certificate must list us as an Additional Insured and Loss Payee, and it must specifically list rented equipment coverage. Our information for the certificate should be listed as:

Aperturent.com
6065 Roswell Road #350
Atlanta, GA, 30328

Please note selecting the insured option for an item on our website does not eliminate the requirement for a certificate of insurance. The optional insurance offered through our website covers damage only (visit our insurance FAQ page for more details) and does not cover lost or stolen gear.

While we do our best to approve most of our orders without the need for a deposit, in some cases a deposit may be requested to meet the requirements of our own insurance company. We will always confirm with you before placing any additional holds on your credit card.

It is against our company policy to allow the use of someone else's credit card to place a rental order. All order information, including cardholder name and billing address, must match the credit card used to place the order. We do not allow sharing of Aperturent.com accounts.

You will receive an email once your order has been verified, the status will also update to "Order Verified" when you log into your account. After verification, you will receive a secondary email and text message once the order has been packed.

We use FedEx 2-Day services unless Fedex Overnight is requested during checkout. Orders will generally ship out the same day as long as they are placed by 3:00pm EST, provided we receive your documents in order to complete our order verification process. At this time, we are unable to schedule deliveries on weekends.

When you reserve an item for a future date, we will plan accordingly and ship it for you to receive it on the date you select during checkout.

All our shipments require signature upon delivery. If you are unavailable to sign for your shipment, you may contact Fedex for other delivery options such as picking up at one of their locations.

Please note the signature requirement cannot be waived due to the value of the equipment we rent.

Once you are done with the rental - prepare the order for shipping using the box/supplies you received from us, cover the original shipping label with the included return label, and drop off the package at a staffed Fedex Print & Ship location. Make sure to get a receipt.

Please do NOT leave the package at a drop box, hotel front desk or unattended outside of your home (this includes self service drop boxes located inside FedEx stores). The equipment will be considered to be in your possession until a Fedex employee scans the package and it may get lost without any record of you returning it if you don’t see a Fedex employee scan the label.

Yes. If you decide to ship your order back to us, we ask that you always use insured Fedex or UPS to return your rental. Make sure the items are secured and packed properly.

We do not recommend using USPS. Please note any delays caused by shipping your items back using USPS will result in additional fees to your account. Our mailing address:

Transit times are not counted towards your rental. For example, if you rent an item for 7 days and receive it on a Monday, you will keep it for the full 7 days and would need to drop it off at Fedex the following Monday.

We do not offer after-hours local returns. All orders must be returned during operating hours. If you are unable to return in person during our regular hours. you may ship your rental back to us via Fedex or UPS.
