The rental fee will be charged when your equipment is returned.

When does the “Hold” get released and put back on my credit card?

Authorizations (holds) will be released within 72 hours of the return of your order minus the rental fees. Please check with your credit card company as to when your funds will be made available in your account. If you prefer, you can pay with a different Card for the rental fee but it will result in the bank delaying the release of the authorized funds.
