How to rent        

DCTV RENTALS IS THE ONLY RENTAL HOUSE IN NEW YORK CITY THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE PRODUCTION INSURANCE!

We require that you maintain CURRENT Membership in order to rent from DCTV. Members are part of our “non-profit community” and therefore are granted access to our resources. Membership is only $25/year, and can be applied for in person, over the phone, or through this website.

EQUIPMENT RESERVATIONS:
Call 212-966-4510 x232 and one of our friendly staff will assist you.

All Reservations require a valid CREDIT CARD NUMBER IN YOUR NAME to place a hold on equipment. This guarantees that the equipment will be available and ready at the time of Check-Out. A $50 cancellation fee will apply to any reservation cancelled less than 48 hours before the scheduled Check-Out time.

DCTV makes Rentals reservations up to 6 weeks in advance of Check-out.


RENTALS TRANSACTIONS:
The DCTV Member who is renting equipment must be present at both the time of Check-Out and Check-In.Rentals clients are not allowed to use a proxy to Check-Out/In and/or sign for any equipment transaction. Attempted transactions by an unauthorized proxy will be refused.

CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
The following items are required at the time of Check-Out:


1 Primary Government Issue Photo ID
(Accepted ID: Drivers License, State ID Card, Military ID Card, Passport)

1 Secondary ID
(Examples: 2nd Primary ID, Work ID, Employee ID, Union Membership Card)

DCTV reserves the right to hold a photocopy of both forms of identification on file for the duration of your active membership.

Credit Card/Debit Card with Credit Card Logo**
(Accepted: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
** All Credit/Debit Cards must be in the name of the DCTV Member who is renting equipment. INDIVIDUAL RENTALS CLIENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE OR SIGN FOR A CREDIT CARD NOT IN THEIR OWN NAME.

An Authorization hold will be run on your Credit Card for 110% OF THE ESTIMATED COST OF YOUR RENTAL (based on duration of reservation). This amount will be held on your card for the duration of the rental.

You will also be asked to sign a waiver form authorizing DCTV to bill you for the FULL VALUE of all equipment checked-out in the event of loss, theft, or damage of any equipment while in your care.


CHECK-IN PROCEDURE:
A DCTV Rentals representative will review all returned equipment to assure it is in the same condition as it was at Check-Out. Damaged or lost equipment will be charged to your account.

Once the Equipment has been reviewed, the ACTUAL RENTAL COST will be charged to your Credit/Debit Card, and the remaining funds from the Authorization Hold will be released from your Card.

For Debit Cards, please allow up to 7 days for funds to be released back into your account — this is processing time required by your bank.

If you are paying in cash, please allow up to 30 days for authorization funds to be released from your Credit/Debit Card.
