Payment for adventure rentals must be made in full at the time of pickup at The Southern Adventures Center during open hours. Only cash, check and Eagle Express payments are accepted. When rentals are returned, renters must remain present until all rented items are inspected.
Rental items must be returned clean and dry. A $15 service charge may be added for items returned that are dirty or wet. Renters will pay any repair or replacement costs for gear that is damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen.
Full refunds are only available if a rental is cancelled one week before the rental’s start date. If an item is returned late, late fees of 1.5 times the rental cost will be charged per item. If late fees accumulate for up to one month, a replacement fee will also be added. Failure to pay late fees, damage fees, service charges or replacement costs will result in encumbrance through Georgia Southern University.
