Ordering & Rental FAQs:
How do I place an order?
You can place your order with Alaska Baby Rentals over the phone, via email, or using our product-request form on our website. We happily answer any questions about our products over the phone, or you can browse through the products section of our website to get a feel for how we can help your family best!
How far in advance should I place my order?
We suggest that you order your travel gear as soon as possible to ensure that the equipment you need will be available! We are often rented out of items during peak season, which is from May through September. We generally request at least a 72-hour window for delivery-scheduling purposes; but we understand that things come up last minute and will do our best to accommodate your family’s schedule and needs.
What if I have a last minute order?
If an order is placed within 48 hours of your desired date, you still have time! We will do our best to accommodate your baby equipment needs and fulfill last-minute orders. To order gear, simply give Alaska Baby Rentals a call at (907) 240-7368 is recommended to ensure item availability and confirmation on short notice. We understand how important it is to have everything you need for your little one!
Can I make changes or add to my order?
Of course! If you need to make a change to your order then you are more than welcome to do so. Our policy concerning changes is that changes made within 48 hours of delivery require a 25% change order fee and items are subject to availability.
What if I need to cancel?
No problem! We understand that things happen. The policy of Alaska Baby Rentals on cancellations is: Orders cancelled within 48 hours of your rental start date will be charged 50% of the original order. Orders cancelled within one week will only be charged a $15.00 processing fee. However, if your order is merely being postponed, the 50% cancellation fee can be applied to the new order, with a $15.00 processing fee.
Will I need a deposit to secure my order?
Yes. Alaska Baby Rentals requires a credit card to be on file to process your reservation Gear is not held or reserved until a payment method is on file. Should you choose to pay with cash, a credit card number is still required to secure the order.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Alaska Baby Rentals accepts all major credit cards and cash as methods of payment.
Cash is expected to be paid in full at the time of delivery, but we also require a valid credit card to secure your order at time of reservation.
Credit card orders are processed at the time of reservation. If other arrangements need to be made, please call us at (907) 240-7368 and we will try to accommodate you!
What is your policy on damaged, lost or stolen equipment?
We expect our products, as well as all parts and accessories, to be returned to us in the same condition that the renter receives them. It is recommended that no food or leaky bottles or cups be placed on or in any of the other equipment. Normal wear and tear is expected; however, we do ask that you wipe up any spills or accidents as they occur to prevent stains or permanent damage to the equipment. If a product is damaged we ask that you contact us immediately via phone (907) 240-7368 or email info@alaskababyrentals.com to advise us of the situation, not at the end of the rental. The renter is responsible for any items that are lost, stolen or damaged and will be charged the retail amount to your credit card for those items.
Is there a minimum rental period?
For all car seats, we have a minimum 3 day rental period.
We also have a minimum order amount of $45 (not including delivery charges) on all rental items, except for those items included in our Travel Gear section.
Do you provide long-term rentals?
Definitely! We do offer long term rentals for orders lasting longer than 3 weeks (simply make a note on our order form for any length of time up to 3 weeks). Please email us at info@alsakababyrentals.com with the length of time, equipment desired, and any other details you feel would be helpful (or questions you might have!) and we will call you with rates for long term rentals.
Will I receive the exact equipment/item I order?
Not always. Styles, brands and colors of equipment may vary depending on availability, so the item you receive may vary slightly from those shown on our website.
However, you will always receive premium equipment and the high level of quality and safety will always be the same. Please call us at (907) 240-7368 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this.
Do you offer services other than rentals that would make my family more comfortable?
Our purpose at Alaska Baby Rentals is for your family to truly enjoy everything that Alaska has to offer, worry-free and relaxed. We will do our best to accommodate any need your family has. Diapers, wipes, bottles, bibs, healthy snacks, etc, are available for purchase. If there is something you need please let us know and we will do all we can to meet your requests.
