2 Compare Rental Packages

Review listing details including rental period, pricing structure (daily/weekly), security deposit requirements, delivery and setup options, and damage policies. Many sellers offer complete rental packages that include setup and dismantling.

3 Check Vendor Credentials

Review vendor ratings, read customer reviews, and check how long they have been on the platform. Verified vendors on OTXAD have undergone additional screening for reliability.

Smart Tip: Book rental items at least 2-3 weeks in advance during wedding season (Oct-Mar) to secure availability and avoid last-minute premium pricing.

4 Discuss Terms and Book

Contact the vendor to discuss availability for your event dates, delivery timelines, and customization options. Confirm the rental agreement including damage waiver, late return fees, and cancellation policy before booking.

For Rental Vendors: Listing Your Inventory

1 Catalog Your Rental Inventory

Create a detailed inventory list of all items available for rent. Include dimensions, condition, rental price per day/week, security deposit amount, and any restrictions.

2 Create Attractive Listings

Post your rental ads with clear categories and detailed descriptions. High-quality photos of your inventory in use at actual events build trust and help renters visualize the setup.
