*ALL rental items MUST be picked up and dropped off during Rental Hours, Monday–Friday from 4–6 p.m. If equipment is returned outside these hours, the renter will be charged a $25.00 fee.
The Outdoor Adventure and Recreation Desk is open for rentals 4:00pm-6:00pm, Monday-Friday.
Gear must also be returned to the OAR desk during operating hours (4pm-6pm, Monday thru Friday) and will not be accepted outside this time frame.
Customer will accrue a fee of the daily rental rate for every day the equipment is late. After two weeks, customer will be liable to pay full price for the equipment item(s). This fee needs to be paid in person at Member Services.
Equipment is typically rented on a first come, first served basis, but members can reserve equipment ahead of time by emailing OAR Manager or uroutdooradventure@gmail.com.
Reservations are not guaranteed and are subject to availability, trip needs, and environmental conditions.WATER: If the James River Westham Gauge, is at or above 9ft the river is closed for use and we will not rent out water gear unless renter acknowledges that they plan to use the gear outside of the James River (lakes or oceans are acceptable).
BIKES: If it has rained in the past 24 hours or the trails are wet from recent rains, then the mountain bike trails are typically closed for use. Bike rentals are still offered, but we will ask renters to stay off the trails if they are wet.
We only accept Spidercard, cash, or check for any equipment rentals. For Spidercard, please check OneCard for your card balance to make sure you have sufficient funds on your acount prior to equiment purchase.
