BRING THE RIGHT VEHICLE

Compact SUVs: Best suited for smaller decor and event additions, generally under 5 feet. Fit depends on your specific items and vehicle.

Cargo vans: Recommended for larger items or orders with multiple rentals.

Box trucks: Ideal for larger orders with multiple items and large bars.

No pickup trucks : All rentals must travel in a covered, enclosed vehicle for both pickup and return. Pickup trucks are not permitted, due to the risk of weather exposure and items becoming dislodged or damaged during transit.
Goods to Go service fee: 10%
A rental handling fee applies to all Goods to Go orders and covers preparing, loading, unloading, and returning your rentals to inventory.

Damage Waiver: 14%
Each Goods to Go order offers an optional damage waiver for a little extra peace of mind. It covers normal wear and tear, stains, and rips to our rental items. Damage caused by neglect, including water damage, and lost items are not covered.

Items that are lost or require replacement due to damage not covered by the waiver will be charged at five times the item's rental rate.
Transport Protection Fee: $150
