A refundable deposit
and one page of paper.

Two things protect the gear and the relationship: a refundable security deposit at pickup, and a one-page rental agreement that places full loss / damage liability on the renter. No broker, no insurance pass-through, no waiver upsell.

How it works

Two things, that's it.

01

Refundable security deposit

Set by gear value, paid by bank transfer (FPX / DuitNow) before pickup. Returned within three working days of a clean drop-off.

02

One-page rental agreement

Plain English. The renter is responsible for any loss, theft, or damage during the hire period, up to the listed replacement value of each item.

03

Verified renter, once

Company SSM extract (or IC for individuals), a billing address, two industry references. Done once, kept on file for repeat bookings.

04

Trusted-renter terms

Clubs, broadcasters and production houses we've worked with before get the deposit reduced or waived. Large jobs can substitute a post-dated cheque or a bank guarantee.

Worked example

The hire

  • ItemLiveU LU300 + dual battery
  • Day rateRM 850
  • Hire length2 days
  • Replacement valueRM 9,000
  • Deposit tierB · RM 1,500

What you pay

  • Hire (2 × RM 850)RM 1,700
  • Refundable depositRM 1,500
  • SST · 8% on hireRM 136
  • Total cleared at pickupRM 3,336
  • Refunded after clean drop-off– RM 1,500
  • Net cost of the hireRM 1,836

If something goes wrong

The rental agreement makes you responsible for the LU300 from the moment it leaves our office until we sign it back in. If the unit comes back damaged, the repair is invoiced to you and (if small) deducted from the deposit. If it's a total loss or theft, you pay the replacement value of RM 9,000, less any deposit already held.

There is no broker, no waiver, no third party. It's the deposit, the agreement, and the trust we've built over time. The cheapest way for both of us is for the unit to come back in one piece.

Liability cap for this hire: RM 9,000

FAQ

Common questions.

Don't see yours? Email desk@bossrental.my.

Is the deposit really refundable?

Yes. Once the gear is back in our office, checked, and signed in clean, the deposit is returned by FPX or DuitNow within three working days. We don't sit on it.

Why no insurance option?

Insurance pass-through and damage waivers add cost and friction for everyone, and in practice the deposit plus the rental agreement do the same job for hires of this size. If you have your own equipment-hire policy already, even better — bring proof and we can reduce the deposit at our discretion.

What's the cancellation policy?

Cancel up to 48 hours before pickup and the hire and deposit are fully refunded. Inside 48 hours, the hire is billed at 50%. Same-day cancellations are billed at full rate. The deposit is always refunded once cancellation is confirmed.

How do trusted-renter terms work?

Clubs, broadcasters, and production houses we've worked with three or more times, with no incidents, move to a waived deposit on Tier A and B, and a reduced deposit on Tier C. We'll let you know the first time you cross that threshold.

What if I damage something on day one of a five-day hire?

Call us. We'll bring out a replacement if we have one and document the damaged item. The hire continues; the damage is settled at drop-off (deducted from the deposit or invoiced separately if it exceeds the deposit).

Can I substitute a bank guarantee for the deposit?

On Tier B and Tier C, yes — for corporate accounts with an SSM extract on file. Post-dated cheques are also accepted from production houses we already know.
