Frequently Asked Questions
General Rental Terms
Q: How is the rental duration calculated?
A: 1 day = 24 hours from the time of pickup until the time of return
Our base rate starts from on a 2-day rental period, allowing you to have the items for a full 48 hours. For instance, if you pick up your items at 2:00 PM, they should be returned by 2:00 PM two days later. In this case, returns after 2:00 PM will result in penalty charges.
Late returns are strictly not allowed, as they can disrupt our consecutive rental orders. For each day of late return, a penalty fee equal to 50% of the base rate will be applied.
Q: How much is your rental rate?
A: Our rental rate varies based on the duration. Our base rate starts from 2 days. For the third day, there's a 30% surcharge, and for the fourth day, there's a 20% surcharge. Subsequently, each extra day incurs a 10% increase from the base rate.
Example:
- Base rate (2 days) = RM100
- 3 days = RM100 + 30% of base rate = RM100 + RM30 = RM130
- 4 days = RM130 + 20% of base rate = RM130 + RM20 = RM150
- 5 days = RM150 + 10% of base rate = RM150 + RM10 = RM160
After the 4th day, each additional day incurs a 10% increase from the base rate.
Q: I only need to rent for a single day, is there any discount available?
A: All rental rates start from a minimum of 2 days, same rate applies for single-day rentals as well.

A: At least 3 working days in advance to ensure timely preparation. For optimal availability, we recommend renting 2 months in advance, allowing ample time to secure your desired selections and make necessary arrangements for your event.
Q: What is the minimum order value?
A: The minimum order value is RM150, and it can be a mix of different products. If your order does not meet this threshold, we are unable to proceed with it. In such cases, we will cancel the order and process a refund to you.
