Rental Charge Example

For example, a three-week rental charge for an instrument with a list price of $4,000 would be:

list price x 4% of list price x 3 weeks = rental charge

$4000 x 0.04 x 3 = $480

Billing Period

The Billing Period begins on the date of shipment from TREK, INC. A grace period of five (5) business days is allowed for return of shipments to TREK, INC. Invoices will be sent monthly with terms of NET 15 days. Rental equipment received after the grace period will be considered late and subject to extension charges with the minimum charge being one (1) week.

Purchasing Equity

Should the customer wish to purchase the rental equipment, 50% of the payment from the start of the rental will be deducted from the list price. The decision to purchase must be made prior to returning the equipment.

Extensions to the Rental Agreement

Weekly and monthly extensions to the rental agreement are welcome. Extensions of the rental agreement do not affect the rental rates of the original rental agreement. Rental charges will be discounted from the standard rates where applicable. Typically, the longer the original rental agreement period, the larger the discount for an extension. The decision to extend a rental period must be made prior to returning the equipment.

Early Returns

Rental charges will be calculated by usage. In the event an instrument is returned early, charges will be based on the number of months of the actual rental period, not the original rental agreement period.

Freight

Rental equipment is shipped to locations in the USA by TREK, INC. Shipping charges are extra for equipment shipped outside the USA. In all cases, the customer is responsible for return shipping to TREK, INC.
