So title says it.

Im going to rent out my vx2100 for a week for $150. This local woman needs it for a shoot for one day and she wants to buy it, but
i convinced her to rent it off me for a week for $150. Ive never done this before so i was wondering if anyone could give me any
advice on how to go about doing this. she needs it before wednesday.


has anyone ever rented cameras before?

thanks for the help!!
 
please if any one has every rented a camera or rented out a camera , i need some info on how to go about doing it legit so i dont get jacked and it doesnt get broken..

Please!!!!
 
I would take a deposit either CC authorization, Cash, or check (but can stop payment). Google rental agreement for a form. You can go as far as holding a CC or Copy of ID too
 
alright cool, ya did some research and talked to a guy on craigslist and he told me this.

get a deposit like $1000 for a vx2100 in perfect condition then $150 for a week and get that when she picks up the camera tomorrow. so then when she returns it she gets $1000 back and i get to keep $150 if all is in good condition and all. no mic sag, no vf problems, worn down heads, or lcd problems and check all basic's ccd's ect..

ill have to download the form tomorrow at the library is it a certian form? or




$1000 Deposit
$150 Week
On PICKUP

Need Copy of ID and Location
Liscese plate #
i guess that covers all her info.

found this other guy stating this in a post.

"We require a valid credit card and driver's license or state ID to rent any equipment. All rentals are always prepaid at the time equipment is picked up. Neither a deposit nor insurance is required to rent. All forms of payment are accepted including credit cards, cash, money order / cashier's checks, PayPal, and personal checks."


if this works out well an i get $150 for someone using my vx for a week then thats sick.

if not oh well ill sue her ass or just be fine with it since around $1200 is a decent price for just a vx2100.
 
if you could link me to a rental form that i can fill in with my name an not another company that would be perfect!

i cant fine one!

Damn
 
if you want, depending how legit you want to be. Most ppl are good in life and are not trying to scam you, especially since you found this lady. **** happens, some ppl pay up and some run (thats why you hold a deposit).

If it were I... make a rental agreement, take a copy of ID and CC and/or hold a $200 cash deposit. Quite simple, but thats just me
 
what do you mean by cc?

credit card?
so just make rental agreement take copy of id and cc. get 1000 deposit and charge $150 week
so i get $1150 before they leave with the camera.

thanks for your help.

this is what i have so far.
just need to fine tune it tomorrow.

I have read, understand and agree to the above provisions."
 
CC= Credit Card
"get 1000 deposit" if there willing to pay that go right ahead. But ill tell ya this, I have rented vacation houses for $300 deposit via check LOL and HVX's for $100 deposit. But more power to ya if she is down to pay that.
 
You cant leave town with a vacation house though... and its all ready insured...

The drill is rental agreement, CC on file and a nice deposit...

You have to hope for the best and plan for the worst. If she slips and breaks the camera, or you never see her again - where will you stand?
