Booking Information.

Once you know what equipment you require, you can either call into our showroom or Phone us and leave a 50% Booking Fee of the hire cost in order to secure the equipment for the date required. Bookings for Christmas Eve and the New Years Eve require full payment of the hire fee at point of booking, to guarantee availability. Please note that is the Booking Fee is non-refundable should you have to cancel for what either reason.

Identification Required.

Any hirers must be over 18 Years of age. Obviously, we require a certain level of identification before we can hire equipment to you. We need to see 3 forms of positive identification on the day when you collect your hire equipment. Suitable identification includes:

• Driving License
• Passport
• Gas Bill (Most Recent)
• Electric Bill (Most Recent)
• Telephone Bill (Most Recent)

• Bank Statement
• Credit Card Statement
• Council Tax Bill
• Rent Book

or generally any official document that states both your name and current address. These documents must be current, i.e. within the last 2 months.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event of insufficient or out of date identification, we will not be able to hire you any equipment.

Security.

Whilst you are in possession of the hire equipment, we ask for a deposit amount. This amount varies depending on the quantity of equipment you are hiring. We accept this amount in cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard) or a cheque when supported by a valid guarantee card. We are unable to accept multiple cheques attempting to cover larger deposit amounts in excess of your Cheque Guarantee card limit. This deposit is refundable once the equipment has been returned on time, undamaged and fully tested, subject to our normal hire conditions.

Returning Equipment.

All hire equipment must be returned before 12.00 noon the following day, unless by prior arrangement. For equipment collected on Saturdays, the standard hire period extends until 12.00 Noon on the following Monday. Subject to staff availability, we can accept hire returns from Saturday, on Sundays, at 12.00 Noon.

Cancellation / Transfer

By paying a booking deposit, this forms a contract between us at Early Riser and yourself. This contract obligates us to have your specific equipment (or equivalent) available for the date you have booked. On your half of the contract it obligates you to collect the equipment using sufficient I.D. as required and with the appropriate funds required, as detailed. However, should you have to cancel your hire, you will forfeit your booking deposit fee. Should you cancel your hire within 7 days of the hire collection date, you will also be responsible to pay any outstanding Hire Fee balance in full. Please note that should you wish to transfer the original hire date, to an alternative date, this is possible without any financial loss, providing we are notified of the transfer (In writing) no later than 10 days prior to the original hire date. We are only able to transfer any booking once, after which normal financial penalties as stated above will apply.
