Frequently Asked Questions
When should I make my reservation?
Early planning helps to ensure product availability. Reserve enough equipment to allow for the maximum number of guests expected at your event. This number can always be decreased as necessary and without penalty as the event approaches, with FINAL NUMBERS required one week prior to your event date.
What kind of deposit is required?
A deposit is required to reserve rental items. The amount of the reservation deposit represents 30% of the initial rental order. A credit card number is also required for our files at the time of booking, regardless of how the reservation deposit is paid. This is held as security against any “post event” charges, which include, but are not limited to, missing/damaged items, additional expenses caused in connection with set up/tear down services, dinnerware returned unwashed etc.
When do I pay the balance due?
The balance of the rental amount is payable three (3) days before delivery or when you pick up your order from our warehouse. If you designate someone else to receive or pick up your rental order, please make arrangements for them to pay the rental amount on your behalf. Equipment cannot be released into your possession without payment.
What happens if I need to cancel my order?
Cancellation of our services for your event date will result in the forfeit of the entire reservation deposit.
Is there a charge for delivery/pick up?
An additional fee is charged for delivery/pick up and this service must be booked in advance. Charges are based on the area you wish us to travel to. All delivery fees are quoted as “tailgate” only – we will stack your equipment at the point where our vehicles can park and retrieve it from the same place after your event. A short, unexpected delay caused can add precious minutes to delivery schedules and several hours to a working day. Therefore, if you require us to carry items to another area, or to set up or tear down, additional labor fees will apply and these services must be booked in advance.
Will my rental equipment be set up and torn down?
Set up/tear down service is usually the responsibility of your caterer or event coordinator. If you would like T.R.U. Event Rental, Inc.’s staff to set up and/or tear down, please note that additional labor fees will apply. The size of the rental order, the topography of the event site and the provision of a detailed schematic will all help determine how long it takes to set up or tear down and what those additional labor fees will be.
Do I need to wash dinnerware or linen?
All china, glass and flatware must be rinsed free of all food and drink with water before being returned. All linen must be shaken free of food, confetti and other decorations. Make sure your caterer or event coordinator is aware of this policy to avoid additional cleaning fees being charged to the customer, whose name appears on the rental contract.
What happens if something gets broken?
Responsibility for all rented equipment remains with the person, whose name appears on the rental contract, from time of receipt to time of return to T.R.U. Event Rental, Inc. Please ensure that equipment is secured when not in use and protected from weather. Full replacement costs for any broken/missing/damaged items will be charged to the credit card on our files at the conclusion of an event.
