Default Rent a lense for wedding
I may need to rent a lense to shoot the wedding in October. I couldn't find the rental store in town so I think I will rent it online. Any online rental stores you recommend?
Thanks.

I've used Borrowlenses.com before and was happy with their service.

I love lensrental.com , plus it really helps that I live in their town so no shipping charges for me. Will be renting one again for a wedding I'm shooting later this month.

Is it common for a deposit to be required with Borrrowlenses.com? My partner and I are trying to rent some equipment for a wedding at the end of the month, and they want to charge us $2600 for the deposit??

Thats rough. I know when I rent local it is the same thing. This is one thing I love about lensrentals.com - no deposit.

Get ready to have the credit on the credit card or your bank card to cover the cost of the entire lens plus deposit. If you rent a lens and damage it they will automatically take out the cost of the entire lens from your account. If I had the credit to do that I would just buy me a lens. (for those that charge a deposit).

We've got the credit, but you are right. I am thinking for all of this hassle, we should just buy the equipment ourselves!

My trouble is I don't have the credit so I'm stuck with what I got.

Thanks.
Why don't you try event rental equipment supplier search engine RentalComp, they have a huge database of companies that will rent you what you want. You can search by city and then compare prices and read reviews
