    If you require an exact delivery and pickup time, you can add custom times for an additional $175.00 on top of the standard delivery charge. This option is ideal for events where you need items delivered and picked up on the same day or in a public, unmonitored location. For example, a wedding ceremony seating in a public park with a 12:15 pm arrival and a 3:45 pm pickup.
    The additional $175.00 is due to the need for precise scheduling. To meet specific deadlines, we must arrange extra staff and delivery vehicles, as our standard deliveries are planned in sequence for efficiency.

    Out of Town Mileage Charge:
    Out of town deliveries are an additional $5.00/mi on top of the standard fee.

    Delivery Upsize:
    If we need to up size a delivery vehicle or add staff delivery prices are subject to increase.

     Standard delivery fees are based on deliveries made within Pell City city limits.

    Additional Delivery Requirements
    If your delivery situation includes any of the following, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We may need to allocate additional staff, schedule more time on our route, and/or bring extra transport equipment

    1. No direct drive-up access or sufficient parking available directly in front of the drop-off area.

    2. Stairs or elevators requiring our team to make multiple trips.

    3. Over 150 feet of distance between the parked delivery vehicle and the rental drop-off location.

    4. Entrance fees required to access the delivery area (e.g., parking fees or park fees).

    Additional charges may apply for these situations.

  • Pop up tents:

    Yes, you can pick up these and set them up yourself!

  • In the calendar, the pickup and drop-off times are set for pickups from us only and do not apply for deliveries.

    So, if you don't see your requested time available you can select a different time or date close to your requested time to make the booking come through.

    When you are filling out the form, you can mention the exact times that you want.

    Additionally, all customers with deliveries requested on orders will be contacted to make sure we get all of the details changed exactly to your specifications.

  • Most of our rentals are priced for up to 3 days at a single rate. This means you pay the same price whether you need the item for 3 hours or 3 days. Some items might have a daily rental rate, and these prices will be displayed in your cart.

  • Rental Protection Plan:
    A 10% damage protection charge will automatically be added to your contract unless you decline it before pickup or delivery by emailing info@stjohneventrentals.com. This plan covers the first $150 of broken or damaged equipment and 50% of any additional damage. The remaining 50% will be the customer's responsibility.
    If Damage Protection is Declined:
    The customer will be responsible for the full cost of replacement or repair of the equipment.
    Please Note:
    The Damage Protection Plan is not insurance and does not cover:

    • Rental items not returned
    • Theft
    • Damage from vandalism
    • Damage from failure to secure rental items during transport
    • Overloading or exceeding the rated capacity of rental items
    • Damage to motors or other electronic devices caused by artificial current
    • Damage from overturning
    • Weather-related damage
    • Damage to third-party sub-rental items or specialty linens

    If the Rental Protection Plan is declined, the customer will be responsible for the full retail replacement cost of the damaged items.

  • Yes, rentals need to be wiped before return to avoid additional cleaning charges.
    Rentals that are visibly dirty or dusty are subject to a cleaning fee that starts at minimum of $50.00 and additional charges for time and chemicals needed to do any deep cleaning on items that are very dirty.
    The payment will be taken off of your credit card that you initially paid with.
    ​However, you do not need to wash our tablecloths as this may set a stain and do more bad than good for the tablecloths.

  • Book Early for Best Availability
    Our rentals are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend booking as early as possible. For large events, it's best to book as soon as you finalize your guest list or at least 2-5 months in advance. For smaller events, aim to book 2-4 weeks before your event date.
    Please note that December and the summer months are peak periods for party rentals, and advanced booking is highly recommended. Early planning ensures product availability and peace of mind for your event.
    We offer instant availability checks on our website. If you want to see the frequency of available items, you are welcome to use our system for that purpose.

  • While your presence is not required during delivery, having someone available to inspect the items and notify us of any discrepancies is highly beneficial. This ensures that you receive everything you have rented and helps us address any issues promptly.
