Repair and Replacement Fees + Associated Costs

To rent our equipment, you must pay in full to reserve your rental. You will also be required to authorize a damage deposit “hold” on your credit/debit card on the day of your rental. The hold will be placed on your credit/debit card prior to the start of your rental. Typically, this hold is released upon return and confirmation of no damage. In the case of damage occurring, the hold will be kepton your card until we confirm final repair costs and charge the balance owed.

See below for estimated replacement costs for specific equipment:

• It is solely at the discretion of Big Muddy Adventures to determine if damaged equipment will be repaired or replaced at the renter’s expense.

• Lost or abandoned equipment, bent paddles, cracked paddles, folded (wrapped) canoes, and badly damaged watercraft will be charged for replacement.

• All repair work (such as patching) will be billed $50 per hour plus materials.

• Prices are subject to change.
