How does renting equipment work? 

Renting equipment is most often done on the spot - just stop in and one of our trip leaders can help outfit you for whatever adventure you are about to embark on. All you need is your UWG ID and either credit/debit cards or check to pay. Please note UREC no longer accepts cash as a payment method. Equipment may be checked out for up to one week, but if you need to rent equipment for longer than one week, special permission is required and can be requested by email at wgo@westga.edu.

Please note - additional fees may be applied if equipment is returned late, excessively wet/dirty, damaged or if your equipment is stolen/misplaced.
