HIRE RATES / CHARGES

How are the rates calculated?
The hire period for one day is calculated from 08:00 to 08:00 (i.e. 24hr period).
Equipment is hired out at its specified daily rate, and for longer duration shoots, the following hire rate system applies.
If the hire period is between 3 and 5 days, the charge will be for 3 days hire only.
If the hire period is between 4 and 7days, the charge will be for 4 days hire only.
For longer periods of hire please contact us to discuss a competitive rate.

Are half day hire rates available?
Half day rates only apply to some high-ticket items, and are calculated at 75% of the daily charge.

Are there any charges for late returns?
Within reason, a late fee may be charged for any equipment returned late.

What about cancellation fees?
Cancellation fees are avoided where ever possible – usually only charged if the shoot is cancelled at short notice and other work has been turned away. Cancellation fees vary, and will be discussed in full at the time of booking.

What happens if I damage or lose equipment?
Rocket’s insurance excess is $2,000 NZD. This means the hirer is liable for up to $2,000 NZD for any lost or damaged equipment in their care. Please see the Insurance section for more details regarding cover.
