Camera Rental - Mail Order

oreo5000 · 19 Oct 2008

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a camera/lens rental company that offer mail order.
I wanted to use Calumet but I live in Hull and they dont have a store here.
Thanks for your help

For lenses: http://www.lensesforhire.co.uk/ I have not used them myself but Stewart (the owner) is a popular and regular member on here and is very helpful by all accounts.

I use Lenses For Hire and strongly recommend them, Stewart's service is excellent. I don't know about camera rental.

Thanks for that!
Those prices look very reasonable compared to others I have looked at!

Do forum members get a discount at LFH?

caulmet do online rentals that you can get delivered but I think there is a mega charge for it

Plus if I remember correct caulmet require a full price deposit for the equipment, so if you wanted a 50d it would be about £1200

I hired a lens from Stewart back in the summer, prices very reasonable, and even arranged to meet me somewhere at 6am for me to collect, can't speak highly enough.
