MONTH-TO-MONTH RENTALS

There is a three month minimum rental period. Initial payment of one month's rent must be paid at the beginning of the rental. Subsequent monthly payments will be charged to a credit card on the contract date. If an instrument is returned prior to the minimum period, a charge will be made to fulfill the minimum period. A partial month will be charged as a full month without proration.

Purchase Discount. There is no option to purchase the rented instrument. However, up to 20% additional discount may be earned off the already discounted cash price of a new instrument of the same type from Forrests. The discount increases by 2% for every month's rental paid, up to a maximum of 20%. No rental credit is allowed for double reed rentals.

Lease and Rental Accounts. Credit must be established for every rent/lease account, even though a customer may have rented from Forrests previously. A credit report will be obtained for all rent/lease customers. Customer must complete a Renter's Questionnaire and provide the following documents: California Driver's License with photo (or DMV-ID) showing current address, and a credit card in the same name (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card). A photo copy will be made of your driver's license.

Maintenance. Normal maintenance is included in the rent or lease price. Loaner instruments are not available. Rental charges continue while the instrument is in the shop.

Please contact us to check instrument availability or if you have any questions.

Shipping charges additional. Shipment will be made by Second Day Air and the rented instruments must be returned the same way. If return is delayed due to return by a slower class of service, an additional rental charge may be incurred. Forrests will allow 2 days free rental time, each way, to facilitate shipping. All prices and conditions are subject to change without notice. Terms of the rent/lease contract supersede any conflicting information herein.
