Caltech Y Go

Equipment Rental, Event Sign-ups, and More

RENTALS & SALES

The Caltech Y offers a wide range of rental equipment at little to no cost for Caltech and JPL community members (students, faculty, staff, alumni). Whether you are planning a day trip or a major expedition, we may have what you need.

Some details of renting from the Y:

Pickup Information

▶

You will receive an email the day before your rental starts with information on how to pick up your reserved items. On your pickup day, you may pick up reserved items from 10am-4pm from the numbered bins on the porch outside the Caltech Y or by following special instructions. Bin number and/or special instructions will be included in the pickup email.

Drop-Off Information

(including special rules for tents and AV equipment)

▶

Place items you are returning in the bins labelled “Rental Gear Drop Off” on the porch outside the Caltech Y, except tents.

All tents must be set up, inspected by a staff member, and taken down and repacked, upon return. An additional $20 fee per tent will be assessed if you are unable to set up or take down your tent(s) at the time of return. If you are renting multiple tents or a 6-person tent, you MUST bring extra people with you to help set up and take down. Tents and other equipment should be returned clean and dry. Wet or dirty items may require renters to air them out and return them another day – please consult with Y Staff on your return.

If you have electrical items such as PA systems, movie screens, or projectors, please knock on the door and leave it with a Y staff member. Audiovisual cords must be neatly wrapped and put in their designated spots in the PA cart case upon return.

Cancellation Policy

▶

You must cancel your reservation no later than 5pm on the business day BEFORE your scheduled rental pickup for a full refund. Failure to do so will result in a 1-day charge for each item that is canceled or not picked up, with the remaining balance eligible for refund.
