I would like to try out a Nikon D750 on a future trip. Unfortunately, I missed out on the great deals Nikon/Adorama/B&H had a couple of weeks ago on the D750. Any suggestions or preferences for Camera Rental sites or stores? Thanks!

I've rented lenses from lensrental.com. It was pretty effortless, and the lenses were in great condition. You do need to sign for the package arrival. But, the time I was not available, I had FedEx deliver to a local FedEx shipping site, and I picked up the package there - with my signature.

LensRentals.com - rented a camera and lens for a little over a week. Good service and communication. Great customer service with a flexible attitude. Couldn’t have been happier. /Ralph

I've had my rentals from LensRentals sent directly to the nearest FedEx location. If you have any concern about being available to sign for the delivery, find an alternative shipping location and use that alternative address at the time of the rental. They rent both lenses and bodies. As wwright confirmed, the process is relatively simple where a return shipping label is provided with the equipment. Just put the equipment back into the original shipping materials and drop off at a local FedEx at the end of the rental.

Anybody have experience using LensGiant? Their prices are $30.00 less expensive for a 10 day rental. Should I be concerned due to the disparity?

No experience with LensGiant, but at a $3 per day saving, I would not shift from lens rental.

It is LensRentals that is $3/day more expensive.

And I mean I would not go away from lensrental for $3 per day to a company I know nothing about. Maybe someone else has experience with them, but when you are on vacation, that is a bad time to have to adjust.
