Rented a sat phone for a bear hunt last month. Returned the phone unused and now they just hit me up for a $250 damage fee 3 weeks later.

Don't use these guys. They're crooks.

I always rent mine from the Surveyors Exchange, good prices and good people.

Who do you usually deal with at Surveyors Exchange? We are looking at renting some for this hunting season and maybe purchasing some next year for future use at our Lodge.

Thanks for any info you may have.

Funny - I'm pretty sure I rented from them a few years ago, lost the phone in a packstring wreck, recovered it 2 weeks later and return with only a $40 charge. So I have to ask, did you damage the phone? Is there a chance it was damaged in shipping?
