How To Rent
You can browse through our inventory on the Equipment page. Once you have an idea of what you want, request a quote or email us directly at aclightingandgrip@gmail.com
Please include any important details, items you need, shipping addresses etc. in your message or quote request.
We truly enjoy working with our clients to make sure they have the right package for the job. So if you don’t know what you need or have any questions, please reach out!
Need something we don’t have on our website? Let us know! We can try to find it for you and add it to the rental package for no additive cost.
New clients will need to fill out the Rental Agreement . We will also need a Certificate of Insurance (more information below).
As soon as we get your gear list, we’ll follow up with any questions. Once we have your order squared away we’ll send you an invoice through Square. You can pay straight from there.
Once all forms are filled out and we have your COI, we will either ship, drive or drop the gear to you.
FOR THE VAN: We require a grip/driver to go with the van, but we have an experienced roster of technicians that can work on your project. They can be a grip/spark, best boy, gaffer, key grip or DoP. Rates will depend on position. Inquire for more info on our crew!

Insurance
For rentals with gear valued over $5,000 we’ll need a COI that names AC Lighting and Grip as Loss Payee and Additionally insured.
For rentals with gear valued under $5,000, you can rent without insurance, but you are still responsible for any damage to equipment during the rental.
Don’t have insurance? We recommend ATHOS Insurance, Film Emporium or Insure My Equipment for short-term policies.
If the value of your gear is under $5,000, we may be able offer you a damage waiver in lieu of proper equipment rental insurance.
