Rentals dropped off after 2 PM on the drop-off day, or after the previously agreed upon time, are subject to a late drop-off fee that equals a one-day rental fee for the Listing. The renter must pay any late drop-off fee, which will be charged every 24 hours after the late drop-off until the rental is returned to the supplier. Late rental drop-off fees are imposed at the supplier’s discretion. For location rentals, the extra time spent on location will be charged accordingly and at the supplier’s discretion.

Unless both the renter and the supplier agree, in writing on the transaction conversation, to another time and schedule, Beazy suggests that renters must pick up the rented items from 2 PM on the rental pick-up day and return equipment by 2 PM on the drop-off day; Late rental drop-off fees may apply if any item is returned later than the agreed-upon date and time.
