Rental Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible rent equipment?
You do not have to be a Rec Center member to rent equipment. But you must be affiliated with Texas Tech to rent equipment.
Can I make a reservation?
A reservation is the only way to assure we will have the equipment you need when you need it. You can reserve equipment up to two weeks in advance by coming into the shop and filling out the necessary paperwork and paying for the rental in full. The OPC accepts cash, check, credit cards, and Tech Express.
Is there a refund policy if I cancel my reservation?
Reservations cancelled two days in advance of the pick-up date receive full refunds. For an example: a rental with a pick-up date of Friday must by cancelled no later than Wednesday to receive a refund. All cancellations made after Wednesday forfeit their rental fee.
What happens if I return the equipment late or broken?
Individuals not returning equipment on time or in a damaged condition will be assessed an appropriate fine or charged for the item's replacement. Late fees are twice the daily rate. Fees for equipment repair, replacement, non-service, and depreciation will be charged for any equipment that is lost, stolen, dirty, or damaged. Warranties supplied by equipment manufacturers do not exempt the user from fines associated with damaging university property.
Do I have to set-up the tent when it is returned?
Yes, this assures that all the pieces of the tent are present and there is no damage.
Do stoves and lanterns come with fuel?
Yes, the stoves and lanterns all come full of fuel. This usually enough for a typical weekend trip. If you are renting the equipment for a longer time or plan to do more cooking then normal you can purchase more fuel at the time of rental.
