  • Do I have to pay a deposit amount for the rented gear?

    The deposit amount has to be paid for each item you are renting. The price differs from product to product. Here is a list of the deposit amounts for each item.

    Rental Cost Range(Rs) Deposit(Rs)
    Upto 500 1000

    Above 2000 4000

    The deposit amount has to be paid in cash. So make sure you carry the right amount. Getting change at such remote locations gets difficult.

  • Are these rental shoes broken in? I don’t want to get shoe bites?

    All our rental shoes are already broken in. There are very fewer chances of having a shoe bite.

    In case we have bought a fresh lot of shoe, you might be the lucky one to get a new pair. However, the quality of the shoes is really good. They are designed to avoid shoe bites.

    You do not worry about getting a shoe bite.
