Rent With Studio 19

At Studio 19 we understand passion, our company was built on it. We want everyone to have access to the things that ignite and inspire their creativity. Instead of having to buy something outright, you can rent and take it home for a small payment each month.

If you’re finished with the equipment (you might even find something you like more) you can return your gear any time after the minimum rental period.

If you love everything and want to keep it all forever, you can apply to buy any time. You don’t need to wait until the minimum rental period, you can apply to buy after one day if you want.

You can apply to buy any time, even after one day. There are no hidden fees for buying at one month, six months or three years. If you contact our team, we’ll help you finalise everything.

The minimum rental period is 6 months, but that’s only if you want to return your gear. You can apply to buy any time, even after one day. 

We like to keep things simple. Plus, we would never stand in the way of true love. Sometimes you only need one day to know you’ve found the one.

It’s simple. All you need to do is give our team a call on 1300 858 911 or send them a quick email with your details to info@studio19.com.au. They will help you organise a pickup. There is a return freight fee for this option though. 

Or, if it’s easier, you can drop the gear back to the store you got it from. If you take in, give us a call to let us know so we can double-check all rental payments end.

Not at all. When you’re trying new things, you have to find the right fit. You might love your camera but be ready for a new lens. Or you love the guitar but you’re ready to upgrade your amp.

You can return one item and keep the other. Again, get in touch with our team on 1300 858 911 or send a quick email to info@studio19.com.au. We’ll help you organise everything.

We offer an optional protection plan with most of our gear. Our protection plan is different from insurance and doesn’t cover every eventuality. It does protect you from accidental damage, fire and theft in Australia though. Our team will be happy to run through this with you have you have any specific questions.

Checking with your own insurance company is a good idea. Often rentals are covered by your contents insurance.

To keep things simple, payments are charged on a set date each month from a debit or credit card. If a payment date falls on a weekend or a national public holiday, you will come out on the next business day.

Missing a payment happens. If you know your payment is going to bounce, let us know a business day beforehand and we will hold it for you. If we don’t have time to hold the payment for you a $16 fee will be added to your account. Please don’t be concerned though, missing one payment has no negative impact on your credit score.

If you continue to rent for the maximum 36 months, we will contact you and help you finalise your agreement. But you don’t automatically own the gear. Because it is a rental, there is always a one-off payment at the end to own the goods.

The longer you rent, the smaller that payment becomes due to the item devaluing. For example, if you were to apply to buy at one month, the cost is very close to the original value of your item. Whereas, if you apply to buy at 36 months the cost is more likely to be around the value of one rental payment.
