Renting
How does pricing work for a rental?+
Each rentable item shows a per-day rate. Your total is that rate × the number of days you select, shown before you book. Where a refundable security deposit applies, it's listed separately, never bundled into the per-day price.
What do I pay today vs. later?+
You pay an advance (plus any refundable deposit) to confirm your booking. The remaining rental balance is collected on delivery — both amounts are itemised in your order summary before checkout.
Can I change my rental dates after booking?+
Cancel from your orders page before delivery for a refund of your advance, subject to the cancellation window shown at checkout, then rebook with new dates.
What happens to my security deposit?+
It's fully refunded once your gear is checked in, minus any damage beyond normal wear. See our Damage Policy for exactly how that's assessed.
What's the maximum rental period?+
90 days. If you need gear for longer, extend from your orders page once you're closer to the return date, subject to availability.
Can I extend a rental that's already in progress?+
Yes — extend from your orders page before your return date. There's no penalty fee, just the rent for the extra days, calculated from your original daily rate (subject to demand-based pricing).
Buying
What's the difference between renting and buying?+
Buying means you pay the full price and keep the item — no dates, deposit, or return. Renting is for shorter-term use, with a per-day price and refundable deposit where applicable.
Do purchases come with a warranty?+
Where a warranty applies, the number of months is shown on the product page before you buy.
Delivery & returns
How does delivery work?+
We deliver to your address before your rental or purchase start date, and pick rented items back up after your end date — no drop-off runs required on your side.
Does delivery cost extra?+
Any delivery charge is shown clearly at checkout before you pay — the price you see is the price you pay.
When exactly will my rental be picked up?+
The day immediately after your rental ends, between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Have the item packed and ready in that window to avoid delays.
What if I spot damage or a missing part on delivery?+
Report it within 2–3 hours of delivery so we can arrange an exchange — we can't guarantee support for damage reported later than that.
Cancellations & refunds
Can I cancel for free?+
If you paid Pay on Delivery, yes — free cancellation any time before your delivery timeslot starts. After it starts, a 10% cancellation fee applies.
I paid upfront to lock in a rate — can I still cancel?+
Yes, but a 10% cancellation fee applies once the order is confirmed, since the item is reserved exclusively for you and removed from our active inventory.
Account & verification
Do I need a password?+
No — you sign in with your phone number and a one-time code sent by SMS. There's no password to remember or reset.
Why does an order need identity verification?+
For certain rentals, we ask for a quick KYC check before delivery — identity, occupation, PAN, or address proof, depending on the order. See our Verification page for details.
What if my verification is rejected?+
You can resubmit a different document from the same page. If verification still isn't completed, the order may be cancelled and any payment refunded within 3 working days.
Offers
How do coupon codes work?+
Apply a code on the product page or at checkout — it's validated against that offer's minimum order value, expiry, and usage limit in real time, and the discount is reflected in your total immediately.
