How to Rent: Individual

Become a DCTV Member

DCTV Rentals is one of the only rental houses in New York City that does not require production insurance! In return however, we require that you are a DCTV Member in order to rent from DCTV. Membership is only $25/year, and can be applied for at the same time you make your reservation. Details here.

Make a Reservation

Familiarize yourself with How our Pricing Works. Then, simply call 212-966-4510 x632 with 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.

Same-shift rentals will incur additional fees and are based on availability.

Please Note

The DCTV Member who is renting equipment must be present when picking up and returning equipment, and is not allowed to use a proxy to pick up/return/sign for any equipment transaction. Attempted transactions by a proxy will be refused.

Check Out Equipment

You are required to bring the following at the time of check-out:

• 1 Primary Government Issue Photo ID
  (Accepted: 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/Debit Card
  (Accepted: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) All credit/debit cards must be in the name of the DCTV Member who is renting equipment, and no one else is authorized to use or sign for the credit/debit card.

An authorization hold will be placed on your credit/debit 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 while in your care.

Check In Equipment

Please allot time for us to review all returned equipment to ensure it is in the same condition that it was in when rented to you.

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.

In the case that equipment is deemed lost or damaged, you will be responsible for the cost of its replacement or repair.
