How it Works

1. Reserve Online: Choose your 1-person or 2-person package, select your rental dates and complete your booking.
2. Collect Your Gear: Pick up from MD Outdoors in Nelson or Wakefield during our opening hours. We'll help you check the fit and familiarise yourself with the equipment.
3. Enjoy Your Adventure: Head outdoors with quality gear ready for your adventure!
4. Return Your Gear: Drop everything back at your selected MD Outdoors store at the end of your hire period, during opening hours.

Charges

Our gear hire is charged per night, based on the number of nights you have the equipment.

• Pick-up: Collect your gear on your selected pick-up date.
• Return: Return your gear before the shop closes on your selected return date.
• Hire charges: You pay for each night you have the gear.
• Minimum hire: One night.
• Late charges: Will apply if you bring it back late without extending your booking. 

For example: Collect your gear on Friday and return it on Sunday within our open hours  = 2 nights of hire.

Pick-up and drop-off are available at both our Nelson and Wakefield stores.

Booking in advance online is essential to secure your gear, particularly during the busy summer hiking season. Walk-in hire may be available, but we cannot guarantee stock at both locations.

Not sure what gear you need? Pop into either store or give us a call. We're always happy to help you get sorted for your next adventure!
