Question 1

Can I pickup at 9am or even before 12pm on my scheduled pickup day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IF you book for a pickup the day prior. While we do our best to accommodate your production schedule we ask that if you are shooting on a scheduled pickup day that you pay for that day as a shoot day.  Pickup days are just that, reserved for your pickup and prep and as such the gear you are booking may not be ready by 9am as it likely could be coming back from a prior rental which could be as late as 12pm and then we need to clean, test and recheck it out to you. If you have a flexible schedule and are just looking to grab some extra shots on your pickup day, then we will do our best to get your gear to you as early as possible, but please plan around the fact that likely it wont be till after 12pm in many cases. If you absolutely need the gear early for your shoot the same day please book for a pickup the day prior, this assures you availability and then you can pickup either the day before or the day of as early as 9am..

Question 2

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes we have parking lot and ample street parking.

Question 3

I see that my direct quote prices differ from prices I see on sharegrid?

Accepted Answer

In regards to sharegrid pricing vs our pricing when working with us directly. A few things to consider. Sharegrid charges a community fee which does increase the listed price to some extent. As well, when booking via sharegrid they handle a significant amount of the overhead such as verifying identity and insurance, processing payments, and managing the overall booking experience. This overhead is something that we have to account for on our end when booking with us directly. Please consider this as we do put in a great deal of effort when booking direct to work with you to craft a package that will fit your needs, this personal service is what sets apart the experience when booking direct vs on sharegrid as there is no 1 to 1 support and we are not able to craft packages or work to meet budgets. While we do try to maintain competitive pricing to the wider industry, you may see some differences when booking with us directly. As well we are always happy to still work with you via sharegrid in cases where that workflow is more efficient for your project. Alternatively if you do have budget limits please communicate that to us when you are requesting a package so that we can best work to find tools that fit or best your budget. 
thanks
DeHaven Staff

Question 4

Do you offer student discounts?

Accepted Answer

We are always happy to work with you and do our best to meet your budgets. Whether that be with our already very competitive pricing, finding alternative items, or depending on length of rental requested gear and such we can work to discount. 
We dont generally list our gear at extremely high rates then use "false" discounts to show big savings, we work hard to get everyone into gear that meets the budgets they have as well as meet their creative and technical needs. With the wide range of gear we have available we can generally always make it work. As well we also provide a relaxed and helpful space with very experienced staff to assist your team with gear that may be new to you. So not only providing the rental but helping educate on its use for a smooth and trouble free shoot.
