25% to lock. Balance before we roll. Delivery from $175 quoted to the pin. No maybe-holds by email, Instagram DM, or 'circling back next month.'

Christmas light season overlaps the same crew. If you also want lights, book that in September, not December 20.

Waiting until the save-the-date is printed to check tent stock is how you get a 20×30 when you needed a 20×40.

A verbal 'we'll hold it' from anyone who is not a RentKit confirmation is not a hold.

A real hold, not a “from” price: 25% hold on a 20×60 — typical July Saturday lock is $1,260.00 CAD before tax on the published list. Twenty-five percent is $315.00 in RentKit the day you book. Balance $945.00 before the crew rolls from 9317 188 St, Surrey. Marquee frames stay on our truck — they are not a warehouse pickup. Delivery starts at $175, quoted to the pin so Vancouver and Harrison are not a 7 AM surprise.

Same-week luck: last-minute tent rental. Deposit: what the 25% covers. The money URL is /rentals — not another blog. If a competitor quote is missing install, spare chairs, or teardown, it is not comparable to this number. We install 200+ events a year across Surrey, Langley, Vancouver, and the Fraser Valley; the CAD on /pricing is the CAD on the invoice.
