FAQs

How does shipping work?

When you rent anything from us and select to have it shipped to you, we will include a return label for each box we send to you. All you have to do, is after you're done using the gear, put it back in the box(s) we sent it to you in, slap the return label on it, and drop it off at the nearest UPS store. It's that simple!

How do I calculate my rental dates?

We guarantee that your rental gear will be crazy clean and delivered at least one day prior to your starting rental date, or your rental is free. Orders must be placed 10 days in advance for this guarantee to apply nationwide.

You do not pay for any of the transit time when you rent from Outdoors Geek. If your start date is a Friday, and you come back to civilization on a Sunday, we consider that three days. We are aware this means that you cannot return it to us or put it in UPS until Monday. Don’t worry; according to the Geek’s math, that is still a three-day rental. Please don’t forget though the rental start dates are never on Sunday or Monday. If none of this really makes sense to you, give us a call for a quick course on Geek math.

How far in advance can I place my order?

There really is no limit to how far in advance you can place your order. We do suggest to rent as far in advance as possible to make sure you get the rental gear you desire. If we end up not having the gear you want to rent, we have plenty of other options and may be able to substitute some different gear for you.

Do you offer group discounts?

Every camping and backpacking package we provide includes an automatic package discount of about 10% just for ordering a package. Group discounts depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, group size (we serve some groups of over 1000 campers), location, time of year, special services, etc.

What gear does Outdoor Geek Carry?

First, we carry what we call "Remarkable Gear". Top name brands across the board. Others may claim to, but we actually do it. Our rental items include tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, backpacks, water filtration, stoves, cooking items, accessories, and more. You actually get to pick the brand and style you need depending on the type of trip you are taking.

Do I have to clean my gear before returning it?

At Outdoors Geek our motto includes the commitment of "Crazy Clean" gear....but we don't expect that from you. We do expect gear to be returned clean and dry. Dry is the number one thing. Wet gear means mildew, and mildew means hours for The Geek to get things ready for the next trip. Clean for you means shaking the dirt out of the inside of the tent and other gear. It's important to know that we reserve the right to charge a cleaning fee if your gear comes back wet. How often do we do that? Not often. And if you are in a situation where you have to return gear damp or wet, a phone call will go a long way in avoiding charges.

What happens if my rental item gets damaged?

With that said, we understand normal wear and tear on rental items. If items are damaged, lets say you put your tent or sleeping bag too close to the fire and holes were burned in it, there is a fee for fixing or replacing. Just treat the gear like you own it and there shouldn't be any problem.
