Security deposits help protect my small, locally-run business by ensuring that the equipment stays in good condition for everyone to enjoy. Please know that your card will not be charged up front — the deposit is simply a hold that is only collected if an item was lost, significantly damaged, or stolen. As long as the equipment is returned in good condition, you will not be charged. It’s simply a way to make sure everyone respects the tools and gear, so I can continue offering high-quality rentals to the community.

How Security Deposits Work
For your peace of mind, all security deposits are pre-authorized on your credit card — not charged upfront. This means no money is taken unless necessary. At the end of your rental, a partial or full amount may be charged only if the item is returned with significant damage, missing parts, or in unsatisfactory condition.

As long as everything comes back in good shape, you won’t see a charge — just a hold that disappears.
