Delivery and returns
Do you deliver anywhere in France?
Yes, we deliver anywhere in mainland France via Chronopost. Your gear ships the day before your first rental day, for express next-day delivery. One exception: sound gear (DJ turntables) is not shipped — it is collected and returned in person in Lyon (click & collect).
How does returning the gear work?
A prepaid return label comes with your order. Just put the gear back in its original packaging and drop the parcel off at a Chronopost pickup point or a post office.
All about delivery & pickupWhat if the parcel arrives damaged?
Contact us straight away with photos of the parcel and the gear. Our insurance covers damage that happens in transit and we will find a solution quickly.
Can I track my parcel?
Yes, a Chronopost tracking link is emailed to you as soon as your order ships. You can follow your parcel in real time all the way to delivery.
Security deposit and insurance
What is the security deposit?
The security deposit is the amount the renter remains liable for in case of damage, theft or loss. It is a single amount per product: €100 to €150 for a camera, €150 to €250 for a drone, €250 for DJ gear. Damage and theft insurance is included in the price for cameras and drones. For cameras and drones, the deposit is charged at the time of order then refunded in full after the return and inspection of the gear, within 5 working days; for DJ gear, it is paid on site at handover and returned when the gear comes back. The exact amount is shown on the product page and repeated before payment.
See the Terms and Conditions of RentalHow does the insurance work?
Accidental damage and theft insurance (break-in or assault) is included in the rental price for cameras and drones — no option, no surcharge. For DJ gear it is billed separately: €5 per day, capped at €75 (i.e. 15 days), on a dedicated line, and it does not reduce the security deposit. In the event of a covered claim, the deposit you remain liable for is €100 to €150 for a camera, €150 to €250 for a drone, €250 for DJ gear. For cameras and drones, the deposit is paid online at the time of order and refunded within 5 working days after the return; for DJ gear, it is paid on site at handover.
See the Terms and Conditions of RentalWhat exactly does the insurance cover?
