- For a set of a dryer and washer: $54.99 per month plus local, state, personal property tax, and processing fees. Total: $61.30.
- For only a washer: $27.50 per month plus local, state, personal property tax, and processing fees. Total: $30.66.
- For only a dryer: $27.50 per month plus local, state, personal property tax, and processing fees. Total: $30.66.
Minimum Rental Term and Cancellation: You are required to rent the machines for a minimum period of 3 months. After the initial 3-month term, the rental will continue on a month-to-month basis until you choose to cancel the service.
Monthly Payment: The monthly payment will be automatically deducted from the customer’s credit card every month. Special programs such as a NEW set program may be offered with different fees. The customer will be informed of the specific terms and fees in the contract for the special promotional program.
Payment Authorization: The customer authorizes Quack Rentals to process the credit card on file for monthly payments through auto-pay.
Recurring Payments: Subsequent payments are due on the same date of delivery every month. If the delivery date falls on the 30th or 31st of a month, and the subsequent month has fewer days, the payment will be withdrawn on the last day of the month. If the payment date falls on a Sunday or holiday, the payment will be withdrawn on the preceding or following business day, depending on the customer’s bank.
Pro-Rate Policy: Quack Rentals does not prorate rental fees. If the customer chooses to have their machines picked up before the end of the billing cycle, no refund will be made for prorated days. The customer is responsible for the full rental fee for the entire billing cycle, regardless of the return date of the equipment.
Authorization for Automatic Payment Attempts: By using our services and entering into an agreement with Quack Rentals, you authorize us to make automatic payment attempts using the credit card information provided.
Customer Responsibility: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the credit card on file is valid and has sufficient funds to cover the outstanding payment. If there are any changes to the credit card information, it is the customer’s obligation to update the details promptly. You can do this via our customer portal or by contacting us via phone.
Bank Overdraft Fees and Due Date Changes: Quack Rentals is not responsible for bank overdraft fees. In certain circumstances, the due date may be changed, but this is not guaranteed.
Late Payment and Automatic Credit Card Processing: In the event of a late payment, Quack Rentals will attempt to automatically process the outstanding amount using the credit card on file.
Late Fees and Collection Actions: Late payment fees and additional collection actions may be applied in accordance with the terms outlined in the rental agreement and applicable laws. If a past-due payment arrangement is declined, an additional fee of $10 will be applied to the outstanding balance. If a customer falls significantly behind on payments, a payment plan may be created at Quack Rentals’ discretion. If payment arrangements are made but the customer misses the arrangement date, all past late fees, including the $1 per day fee, will be added to the account balance.
Former Past Due Customers and Secondary Contacts: If you are a former customer of Quack Rentals or an additional contact under an account associated with the same address, and your account was terminated due to non-payment, please be advised that re-enrollment under these circumstances will result in the non-delivery of any machines. Furthermore, any funds paid will be applied towards the outstanding balance, and no refunds will be issued. Consequently, we strongly advise against re-registering under these conditions.
Notice of Payment Allocation and Non-Refundable Policy for Outstanding Balances: In the event that you or your secondary account holder possess an outstanding balance, any payment made upon re-enrollment in our service will first be allocated towards satisfying the past due amount as a priority. Please be advised that such payments are non-refundable.
Additional Appointment and Transportation Fees:
- Delivery and Transportation Fees: A one-time $20 delivery fee will be applied when scheduling a delivery with Quack Rentals. Occasionally, promotions may waive this fee. If delivery is requested outside a promotional period, the delivery fee is a non-recurring charge.
- Missed Appointment Fee: If unable to make the appointment, notify us at least 8 business hours in advance to avoid a $35 missed appointment fee. Our drivers will wait for a maximum of 15 minutes at their discretion.
- Repossession Attempt and Trip Fee: If a repossession attempt is made, but a payment is subsequently made by the customer, a $20 trip fee will be applied to the customer’s past-due balance.
Customer’s Responsibility:
- Access for Equipment Retrieval: In the event that a customer’s account becomes 15 days past due, the customer agrees to provide access to Quack Rentals for the purpose of picking up the equipment owned by Quack Rentals. Failure to grant access may result in further actions to recover the equipment.

This amount will be charged to the customer’s credit card and/or sent to a collections agency.
- Reporting Missing Equipment: In the event of missing equipment and unsuccessful collection attempts, Quack Rentals will report the equipment as stolen to the authorities, press charges, and/or send the matter to a collections agency.
- Access to Equipment: In the event that the customer falls behind on rental payments, the customer agrees to provide access to their apartment/home to retrieve the rented equipment.
