If shipping to a vacation rental, contact the property owner before reserving to ensure they have an address where the package can be delivered and held for a few days if needed. Rentals are shipped in advance, and we want the package to be secured for an extended time to minimize the risk that a pack is not received. Hotels and RV parks typically have a front office that will receive and hold the package until your arrival. We will contact the front office in advance so they know to hold the package.

What if I'm late returning my gear?

If we consider the return to be unreasonably late, not scanned at a FedEx location more than a day after the reservation end date, we may charge a fee. Typically, this will be charged for the additional day rate for each day late. If the return label is not scanned at a FedEx location and the gear is not returned within 5 days of your end date, the credit card used for the reservation will be charged for the full replacement of the gear.
