DEPOSITS

Any individual or company wishing to rent equipment from Calagaz Photo must have a valid drivers license and a major credit card. Cash deposit customers must pay in advance for the rental equipment. Deposits for the full replacement value of equipment will be required for all rental customers. Only Mastercard, VISA, American Express and Discover are accepted. Deposit will be made at the time of pickup for each rental item. Authorization holds on credit cards will appear as a "pending charge" and will fall off after 5 to 7 business days.

We strongly recommend against the use of debit cards for the deposit authorization. Each individual bank holds debit card authorizations for varying amounts of time (up to 30 days) and the funds placed on hold during that time are inaccessible. If you do not have a major credit card, a cash deposit is the best option. This will be secured in our safe during the duration of your rental and returned at the time of pickup.

NO CHECKS ARE ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT. NO EXCEPTIONS!
