Important: The following rules apply ONLY to locally picked-up rental equipment and DO NOT apply to shipped rentals. Furthermore, vehicle and location rentals are not eligible for multi-day discounts and are charged at the daily rate, including both pick-up and drop-off dates.
ShareGrid provides industry-standard multi-day discounts on local (non-shipped) rentals, offering excellent value for renters and increasing booking opportunities for owners.
Pick-up and drop-off days are free for local pick-up equipment rentals only
For equipment rentals, pickup and return days do not count as shoot days. These days are intended for checking, prepping, and transporting gear, not filming.
Unless you arrange otherwise with the owner, standard times are:
Pick up: after 2:00 PM on the start date
Return: by 12:00 PM (noon) on the return date
If you want to pick up, shoot, and return all in one day, you must book your rental that way.
Shoot days are what you pay for
Your equipment rental price is based on the number of shoot days, which are the days you actively use the equipment. Pickup and drop-off days are excluded from shoot-day charges.
Example: One-day shoot over three calendar days
You’ll pay the 1 shoot-day rate.
Day 1: Pick up (after 2 PM) — Free
Day 2: Shoot day — Charged (1 shoot day)
Day 3: Return (by noon) — Free
Example: Three-day shoot over five calendar days
You’ll pay the 3 shoot-day rate.
Day 1: Pick up (after 2 PM) — Free
Day 2: Shoot day — Charged
Day 3: Shoot day — Charged
Day 4: Shoot day — Charged
Day 5: Return (by noon) — Free
Multi-day discounts apply only to local pickup rentals
Important: Multi-day discounts apply automatically to equipment rentals, but NOT to shipped, vehicle, or location rentals.
Weekend discount: Saturday + Sunday count as one shoot day
If your shoot days fall on Saturday and Sunday, you’re only charged for one shoot day.
Example: Weekend shoot with Friday pick-up and Monday return
Day 1 (Friday): Pick up — Free
Day 2 (Saturday): Shoot day — Charged (1 shoot day)
Day 3 (Sunday): Shoot day — Free
Day 4 (Monday): Return — Free
Weekly discount (Full-week rule): 6–7 days = 4 shoot days
If you have the gear for 6 to 7 days, you’re only charged for 4 shoot days.
This applies as long as the total rental period stays within 7 days in your possession (based on standard pick-up/return times).
Example: Tuesday pick-up → Monday return (7 days total)
Day 1 (Tuesday): Pick up — Free
Day 2 (Wednesday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 3 (Thursday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 4 (Friday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 5 (Saturday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 6 (Sunday): Shoot day — Free (weekly discount)
Day 7 (Monday): Return — Free
Weekly discount + weekend discount combined
If your rental includes both discounts, ShareGrid applies them together.
Example: Monday pick-up → next Monday return
Day 1 (Monday): Pick up — Free
Day 2 (Tuesday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 3 (Wednesday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 4 (Thursday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 5 (Friday): Shoot day — Charged
Day 6 (Saturday): Shoot day — Free (weekly discount)
Day 7 (Sunday): Shoot day — Free (weekend discount)
Day 8 (Monday): Return — Free
Full-month discount: 22–31 days = 12 shoot days
For long-term equipment rentals, ShareGrid also offers a monthly discount:
If you rent gear for 22 to 31 days, you’ll only be charged for 12 shoot days.
