Please reserve your equipment well in advance to ensure availability. If an item you need does not appear in our catalog or website, please inquire with your rental agent.

Our facility is always available for examination and testing of equipment before acceptance of the rental.

All prices on the website are daily list rates. Long-term rates are available and must be discussed and confirmed with the rental department.

 

PROOF OF INSURANCE

Proof of insurance is required on all rentals. A standard insurance certificate listing Abel Cine Tech, Inc. as loss payee and additional insured must be submitted and approved by AbelCine prior to checkout and pickup of rental. If you do not have equipment insurance, we can assist you in contacting the appropriate parties to acquire such insurance coverage.

Here is a sample insurance certificate.

Please be sure that your personal equipment is covered under an insurance policy. AbelCine will not accept responsibility for non-owned equipment.

All rentals are subject to a security deposit for the amount of the insurance deductible (or for the equipment's replacement value, whichever value is lower) unless an account in good standing has been established with us. New clients who wish to open an account should submit a credit application at least 10 working days prior to rental.

AbelCine must receive advance notice of any rentals that will be used outside of the US.
