Q: What information do I need to provide to rent from Rock n Roll Rentals?
A: You need the following items to complete your rental:
  • Current Drivers License or state-issued ID
  • Valid Credit or Debit card in your name will simplify the process and keep deposits low
  • Local Residency in the Austin, TX area or a deposit*
  • Two friends and phone numbers as contacts
  • Parents or closest relative; address and phone number
  • If you are the person using the gear, we will find a way to work with you

*If you live outside our Local Rental Area, we may ask for a refundable deposit for the value of the gear rented.

Q: I'm renting for my organization, not for myself. Can I set up a rental account for my organization?

We require an individual with a state ID or Drivers License to take responsibility for equipment rented. Your organization can pay for the rental (see the next question for details). The individual is legally responsible and is signing that they will take care of all property rented and see to it's return.

Q: Can I use my organization’s credit card?

A: Yes, you can. If your name does not appear on the card – if it is an organizational card, or belongs to your parents, etc, we can accept a signed Credit Card Authorization Form from the card-holder. We will need a copy of the card itself and a copy of the cardholder's driver's license. You can fax, email [mail AT rocknrollrentals DOT com], or bring the completed form in person.  If the organization is tax exempt, make sure to send in a completed Texas State Tax Exempt form.

Q: Can I put some equipment on Reserve?

A:  Yes.  You can put in a rental request up to 2 weeks in advance to ensure best availability. We are fully stocked on our packages every week.

Q: I am from out of your rental area. Can I still rent from y'all?

A: Yes. You can still rent from us. If you live outside of our "Local Rental Area" we require a $25 account creation fee and a deposit equal to the full value of the gear you are renting. We limit rentals from people who are from out of town to 5 days. We do all of our business in Austin, Texas and we do not ship gear!
