How to Rent Production Equipment from SP Rentals in Los Angeles

How to Rent

Step 1: Pick Equipment (Request a Quote)

Select the equipment you want a quote for, choose your pickup/return dates, and submit your request on our website. Or email your equipment list to service@spherical-production.com.

Step 2: Review & Confirm Your Quote

We’ll email you a final quote within one business day. You can request adjustments before confirming. Confirmation must be written via email — no verbal confirmations.

Step 3: Complete Pickup Requirements

Once your order is confirmed, we’ll email all requirements and notify you when your order is ready for pickup.

Step 4: Pickup & Return

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • Pickup: After 1:00 PM on the rental start date
  • Return: Before 12:00 PM on the return date

Late returns:

  • 12:00 PM–5:00 PM: Half-day charge
  • After 5:00 PM: Full-day charge

‼ Partial returns do not stop late fees — charges continue until the full order is returned.

Step 5: Loss & Damage (L&D)

After QC, we’ll email a report for any loss or damage with photos and a detailed line-item invoice. If there is no loss or damage, we’ll email confirmation that the order is closed.
