Gearhouse Rental FAQs

When and where do I pick up and drop off my rental gear?

Gear is picked up and dropped off at Basecamp Cafe, which is located at 800 E. Thomas St, Seattle, WA 98102. Our pickup hours are 8am-8pm weekdays, 7am-7pm weekends (preferred pickup time is 3pm-8pm but book what times you need) daily and dropoff hours are 7am-8pm daily, holidays withstanding. We have loading zones located in the parking lot next to the cafe, which allow for easy load/unload of gear.

What models and brands do you carry?

Unlike other rental fleets, we pride ourselves on only carrying top-quality and proven brands and models, such as Rossignol, Salomon, Arcteryx, Osprey, K2, and many more. We also offer many styles within a specific gear category to make sure we have gear that suits every need and common preference (i.e. we carry both cork and foam grips for trekking poles). Stop by the Basecamp Cafe or give us a call at (206) 395-8790 to find out all the brands we carry!

How does pricing work? 

For the majority of our rental gear, we offer an initial rate for the first 24 hours and then each additional day is 30% of the initial rate to make it easy if you're taking a longer trip! That means the rental cost gets cheaper if you're doing a longer trip! 

To get the best value on rental gear, we recommend looking into our membership options! 

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

To cancel or edit your order, please email [email protected]. Cancellations are refundable 7 days in advance of your pickup time to ensure reliable gear availability for all.

Do you carry gear for other seasons?

Yes, we do! We carry an assortment of gear for all seasons and activities, like backpacking, mountaineering, mountain biking, and water sports. This gear is currently available to Gearhouse members. Learn more about Gearhouse membership.
