General Information

WHAT TYPES OF RENTALS DO YOU OFFER?

We pride ourselves in offering a specially curated collection of beautiful, unique pieces and a distinctive, design-forward approach to event rentals.  In a lot of ways, we’re the icing on the cake – think of the furniture you would find in an upscale furniture store, but for rental and available in mass quantities. Bars, tables + chairs, seating, lounge furniturerugs + pillowswall + table decor, plants, and lighting are just a few of the different categories of rentals we offer. We search all over the world for vintage and modern design-forward pieces to raise the bar in event styling, therefore creating customized and memorable events. You won’t find our curated collection of furnishings and decor anywhere else.

WHAT TYPES OF EVENTS DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?

Our mission at Loot Rentals is to enhance human connection through inspiring spaces. We bring this mission to the forefront of every event we are lucky enough to be a part of, from weddings, corporate meetings and events, social events such as birthday parties and private celebrations, brand activations, trade shows, public events such as concerts and festivals, and even commercial and film productions. From a VIP event to an intimate Thanksgiving gathering, we are equally proud to be a part of the memories created in your space. Check out our Portfolio to see some of our past events!

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

We are headquartered in Austin, Texas and recently opened our second office + warehouse in the heart of Fort Worth!  We are proud to service all of Texas and surrounding areas.

WILL YOU SPONSOR MY EVENT?

As much as we’d love to sponsor each and every event that aligns with our values, we can only fit a few into our budget each year.   If you think Loot would be a good fit to sponsor your cause, please get in touch and let us know about the event. We’ll do our best to accommodate your sponsorship needs!

Do you make custom creations?

For orders over $10K in rentals, we’re happy to explore sourcing or creating custom pieces for your event. Because we believe great design shouldn’t be created for a single use, we look for pieces that can live beyond one event and become part of the Loot collection.

It’s one small way we hope to help lead the charge toward less waste in the events industry, one event at a time.

What is your privacy policy?

Glad you asked! You can find it here.

I'm an event planner. Can I have a discount?

We love our planner friends! You’ll automatically be enrolled in the Loyal Looter Club — an exclusive club just for our planners with tons of perks, including a 10% off discount — as you hit spending milestones with us!

I'm planning a styled shoot. Could I have rentals for free?

We love to collaborate on styled shoots when it makes sense for us! However, we can’t be a part of every shoot. Please reach out to your Client Relationship Lead to see if we can extend our photoshoot discount or contact us here.

I own/work for a venue. Can you provide rentals at my open house?

We love collaborating with our community and bringing Loot to local venues when it makes sense for us. Please contact us and give us the deets on what you’re needing for your upcoming Open House. Our Client Relationship team will be in touch with additional questions to see if it makes sense for our marketing efforts and fits within our promotion budget.

Would I be able to come see some of the Loot in person?

Absolutely! We host a monthly Open House in ATX + bi-monthly in DFW on the first Tuesday of each month. Check out our Instagram to see our upcoming Open House dates & to RSVP! Private showings may be available upon request. Please note that we cannot guarantee that all of your items will be available to show, as they may be out at an event.

When are your offices open? Can I pop by?

Our offices are open Monday-Friday! However, we do not accept pop-ins. Please contact us to set up an appointment!

Do you ever sell your inventory?

We love to give our extra loved Loot a new home at our Warehouse Sales! Stay tuned on our Instagram for info on our next Warehouse Sale. Pro tip: Arrive early for first dibs!

I heard you provide free weddings on Valentine's Day! How do I apply?

Free Love has always been one of our favorite ways to give back to the community! While we’re taking a pause on Free Love this year to focus on other exciting company goals, stay tuned for a fresh twist on Free Love in 2026. You won’t want to miss it!

Ordering Process + Design

I love the Loot vibe. Do you offer design services?

We do! Nothing excites us more than seeing an event space decked out in Loot. We offer a 30 minute consultation and charge $95 per mockup, with (1) complimentary round of edits. All additional rounds of edits and/or mockups are $95 per mockup. Contact us for more information on site visits, styling, and other design services.

Where do I even start?

Don’t fret. We know the options can be overwhelming. Luckily, we have taken a lot of the guesswork out of building your wishlist and working with us!

First, explore our Lookbooks by season, venue, or vibe to help narrow your event style – you can even begin shopping the featured pieces right away!

Second, peruse our Portfolios – and filter by event type – to see how Loot rentals have been styled at events like yours!

Third, make sure to browse our pre-styled groupings where we have constructed lounges out of pieces that we KNOW look good together.

Lastly, submit a Wishlist!

Can I rent from both locations for my event?

Yes! We offer biweekly transports between our ATX and DFW locations at no additional cost if your order meets the transport minimum in rental items. For any ATX orders under $8,500 in rentals and any DFW orders under $4,500 in rentals, a $350 Transport Fee applies. Orders must be confirmed at least one week prior to the transport date. Please check in with your Client Relationship Lead if applicable.

I'm ready to book! How do I reserve my Loot?

When a quote is made, your items are reserved for one week. If you choose to move forward with your order, we accept a 50% deposit and signed contract agreement to confirm. (Check out our Rental Checklist to make sure you have everything you need!) Payments can be made via check, ACH or credit card.  *Please note, credit card fees will apply.  If your event is within 30 days, 100% of the order total is due to book.  As a company, we aim to be as transparent as possible.  We would love for you to read our policies here for some upfront expectations.

Help! My event is coming up quick and I need rentals!

We’ll do our best to help as items may be limited! Rentals booked within 10 days of the event will incur a 20% Rush Fee. Rentals booked within 5 days of the event are not guaranteed and must be approved by the Warehouse Manager first.

When do I pay my remaining balance?

Your remaining balance is due 30 days out from your scheduled delivery date. If you want to make things easy and worry free, feel free to select our “auto-pay” option when submitting your deposit. The remaining balance will be automatically charged to the credit card on file.

Can I change my order after signing the contract?

Yes, you can make edits at any point! However, we recommend getting your final edits in before 30 days out from the event, which is when your final payment is due. Any removals after this point would result in an available credit added onto the order that can be applied towards any other items you may be interested in renting for the event. Any changes made within 10 days of the event incur a 20% Rush Fee. Any changes within 5 days of the event are not guaranteed and must be approved by the Warehouse Manager first.

Delivery + Will-Call

Does my order qualify for delivery?

We accept orders over $1,500 in rental items for delivery from our Austin and Fort Worth offices. Orders of lesser amounts are also accepted and may qualify for Will-Call. Please see our policies for more information regarding our Will-Call guidelines.

What if I don't qualify for delivery but I'm willing to pay the minimum?

Sorry, friend! We are unable to accept additional dues to reach the minimum. We’re sure we can help you add on some fun pillows, rugs or small decor to reach the minimum for delivery. Just let us know if you need help and we’ll be happy to make some suggestions!

How much is delivery?

Our delivery fee is calculated based on the following factors:

  1. Distance from our warehouse to your event location
  2. The size of the crew required
  3. The time needed for delivery, setup, and pickup

This cost reflects our commitment to providing a white glove service, ensuring that every detail is handled with care. It also allows us to fairly compensate our dedicated and professional crew. Please note that any changes to your order may affect the delivery cost. As a general guideline, our standard delivery fees are approximately 25% of your rental total.

How far will you travel?

We are happy to travel as far as needed to deliver your Loot safe and sound. Any location within 120 miles is considered In-Town. Events outside of the 120 mile radius are considered Out-Of-Town and will incur travel fees (per diems + hotel). We require different minimums based on the distance from the servicing location. For example, Houston events must reach a minimum of $8,500 in rental items. Please reach out to [email protected] or give us a call 877.913.5668 to learn more about our travel minimums.

If I don't want delivery, can I pick up my items myself?
Can I request a time specific delivery/pickup?

Yes! Times are first come, first serve and are subject to availability. Time specific deliveries/pickups incur a $150 flat fee. Additional crew may be required for tight windows.

Do you do event flips?

We do event flips on a case by case basis. Please talk to your Client Relationship Lead about the event and our crew’s availability.

What can I expect from your delivery crew?

Our friendly and professional crew will deliver and carefully install your items on your event date. They will make sure everything is absolutely perfect to your liking. We require an onsite contact to be present during the load-in and load-out windows to sign off on the receival of all items. Layouts and floor plans are helpful to guide crew as to where to place items!

After the Confetti Settles

Oops, I damaged the Loot!

Accidents happen. First, we first try to fix and clean ourselves. If the item is beyond repair and needs to be removed from inventory, we will assess the value at three to five times the rental rate or the actual replacement cost. If the item is fixable, the client will be liable for the repair cost.

Where can I submit feedback?

We love hearing from our clients the good and the bad. It’s one of our top priorities as a company to always be learning and evolving in order to provide the best client experience possible. Please click here to submit your feedback and get a free coffee as a token of our appreciation.
