Know what you’re booking.
The basics of reserving equipment, paying for your rental, and bringing it back.
Test preview. Real rentals are not open yet. Business contact details, pickup arrangements, equipment contents, and the final operating policies will be confirmed before live checkout is enabled. A test payment does not reserve a real rental.
Reservation and rental period
Prices are in US dollars. The initial rental rate is $25 per calendar day, with a two-day minimum and a 30-day maximum. The pickup day and return day both count. The final quote displayed before checkout is the amount payable for the rental.
Availability can change while you are choosing dates. A quote is not a reservation. A booking is confirmed only when our system verifies successful payment with Stripe and records the reservation. Keep your confirmation and private booking link.
Rental payment and equipment security
The rental amount is collected at booking. A separate $200 card authorization is requested at pickup. It temporarily reduces the funds or credit available on your card. It is not automatically collected as another rental payment.
An unused security authorization is released after the equipment is returned and inspected. The time it takes to disappear from your card depends on your bank. Card authorizations have expiry dates, so longer rentals may require a fresh authorization coordinated with you.
If equipment is missing or damaged, we will explain the issue and any proposed amount before collecting from the hold. Final equipment responsibility and assessment procedures must be supplied before live rentals begin.
Pickup, use, and return
Pickup is in San Francisco by arrangement. The exact meeting point, time, return instructions, and included equipment must be confirmed before collection. Check the kit at handoff and report any missing items or existing damage.
Use the kit according to the supplied instructions, keep it secure, and return all listed items at the agreed place and time. Contact the operator promptly if something stops working, is lost or damaged, or your return plans change. An extension depends on availability and an agreed price; it is not automatic.
Connection and destination
Starlink requires a suitable power supply and a clear view of the sky. Speed and reliability vary. We do not guarantee a particular speed, uninterrupted service, or suitability for emergency communications. Confirm destination coverage, planned usage, and service-plan limits before booking.
See the rental guide for practical setup and trip planning.
Changes and cancellations
Contact the operator to request a cancellation, refund, or date change. A request is not complete until it has been acknowledged. There is no automated cancellation or refund flow in this preview. The final cancellation policy and a working contact method will be published before paid rentals open.
Do not make a test booking expecting a real equipment reservation. During the preview, checkout uses Stripe test mode.
