Frequently Asked Questions

Owners

I’m busy at the moment, can you list my item(s) for me?

Absolutely! If you send us a list of your item(s), pictures of it, and what you’d like to charge, we’ll take care of the listing for you.

What if I had already agreed to rent the item(s) but coincidentally it was damaged before the transaction will take place, will I be penalized?

If item is damaged, do inform JRC immediately so that we can provide an alternative for the renter. Do not proceed with renting out your damaged item(s).

If my items are damaged, what should I do to request compensation?

Inform JRC and take note of the extent of damage or loss on the invoice. Do collect a $200* deposit from the renter and send the item for a repair quotation. Share the quote with the renter and decide whether repair or replacement is more feasible for the renter.

Is there any minimum requirement for my item(s) to be rented out?

There is no minimum requirement, however, we would look at the completeness of your kit upon submission and let you know if we are able to list your item(s) on J Rental Centre.

Can I rent out the Item(s) only on weekends?

Yes you may! Besides indicating on the listing, you are free to accept or decline any requests based on the availability of your item(s)!

What if I suddenly need to use my item(s) or am unable to proceed with a confirmed booking?

We strongly discourage Owners cancelling the booking as you have given commitment that your item(s) are available for rent. Do let our admin know and we will do our best to find a solution.

What if I realise the damage only much later, say about a week later? I am still entitled to compensation, right?

You are not entitled to compensation. As such we highly encourage owners and renters to check on the condition of the item(s) during both collection and return.

What photos should I post?

We recommend posting official products photos with a white background and no watermarks that can be easily found online. Keep the 500x500 pixels image to below 50kb.

How should I price my listings?

We suggest setting prices competitive to similar rentals on other rental platforms in Singapore. Generally, this will be around 2-5% of the replacement value of the item. We will inform of any changes in price due to market demand as part of our regular price review. Feel free to email us hello@jrc.sg for further discussion.

Renters

Can I arrive earlier/later than my booked times?

The earliest you may arrive is 15 min before the scheduled slot to facilitate transfer and setup of equipment. Do inform the owner as soon as possible if you will be late and your expected time of arrival. Owners will try their best to accommodate but this is subject to their availability.. Do note that late arrival will not lead to an extension of your booking.

Does J Rental Centre charge a deposit?

For the vast majority of rentals, a deposit would not be required.however, depending on the value of the item or set of items that you may require, a cash deposit of $200 may be required. This deposit is fully refundable upon the return of the rented equipment in good, working condition.

What happens if I misplaced or damaged a piece of equipment that I rented?

Can I pay upon return of the equipment?
