Anika Miskar

The best rental place I have ever been to. They’ve earned a customer for life. The gear is always in impeccable shape and the folks working here will always go above and beyond for you. They’re insanely flexible in case any scheduling mishaps come up. You can’t beat the prices for such nice gear. I shoot horse racing with their gear and have nothing but rave reviews. 100% worth the commute to get there. Thanks for being so awesome!

Between customer service, gear that they carry, and not to mention PRICE! I always rent my gear from Aperturent. I live in Columbia, MD and make the drive all the time because I can get a professional lens for 7 days and it beats the price of a 3 day rental from other shops. I love being to rent top shelf lenses at a pocket-friendly cost that allows me to keep booking events and still make a profit.

Jamil Smith

When in doubt this is my go to place for fast cheap rental. Excellent customer service, the remember names and occupations. Knowledge of equipment and more. I recommend this place to anybody in need.

Ashley Walker

A great team with a ton of knowledge! I've rented from Aperturent multiple times and always receive outstanding service and I walk away with great equipment. Highly recommended!

A. Mitchell

Love this place! Always friendly staff reservation process is so easy and returns are even easier. Rental items are packed very well and they have a very wide selection. Always my go to rental location when I’m in the city.

Briana Adhikusuma

I've been using Aperturent for about a year now and I can't say enough good things. The employees are great to work with and are super helpful. My rental equipment always comes incredibly clean and in great condition. I never have had any issues with my rental equipment before - everything is always in perfect working order! Their rental prices are also a great deal!

Jami Davis

This was my first time renting camera equipment. I wanted to try a new body and lenses before I buy and this was the perfect opportunity. Initially getting approved took some effort on my part, but it is understandable with the value of the equipment they were trusting me with. This was a one time hassle, but not unexpected. Finding the DC location wasn't easy. It is in an office building with no indication of Aperturent being a tenant. Once I found it everything went smoothly. The equipment was in perfect condition and came in a box that held everything safely. My return was delayed and they were great at communicating and working with me for a late return. I can't rate them highly enough and I will be a repeat customer.

Steffan C

I've used this business several times to rent photography equipment and had no issues. Equipment arrives on time and works perfectly. Very easy process

Andrew Garcia

Have used Aperturent multiple times since moving to DC. Great secure location. Staff is always friendly, gear is kept in great condition, and they have an amazing selection. Highly recommend. Parking tip: Free street parking on 17th St NW which becomes available at 9:30am. Get there between 9:30 and 9:45am for an open spot. Getting in: Look for the awning that says "Blake Building". Enter the building, check in with reception, and head to the 6th floor.

Jason Andrew

#1 go to spot for all of my equipment rentals. Killer customer service and great selection of gear. No one is better in the DMV area

Ben Israel

Great selection of equipment, great service, at a surprisingly economical price. I've been very happy with Aperturent. Glad I found them!

Kecia Dickerson

I simply Love APERTURENT. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Never have any issues at all.

Jamar Hutheson

Love this place, rentals request are always placed promptly. Affordable rates and all the gear you need.

Julie O.

Great place to rent cameras, lenses, and audio equipment! Love coming here when I need extra equipment for shoots. They're also very quick to respond if you need help choosing equipment or need to change rental times/dates. Would definitely recommend!

ReginaldIvan Studios

Simply the best in the DMV. I've been renting from Aperturent for almost 3 years now. I've only experienced great customer service and quality equipment. The renting process is simple and straight forward. Never had an issue with pick-up or drop-off and the staff at the front desk is always pleasant.

Miguel Serrant

Aperturent has been a blessing for me and my photography business. Dealing with shipping logistics for rentals can be a nightmare so I absolutely enjoy the fact that I can order online and pickup/dropoff the equipment I need. It adds a necessary in person element to the rental business. I remember walking in for a scheduled pickup and one of the reps helping someone figure out which equipment would be necessary for her very first wedding photography gig (it was free and she wasn't an expert) and everything he advised was absolutely correct and simple enough for her to get the shots she would need to get. From that moment on, Aperturent earned my respect.

Rashad Smith

Aperturent is very convenient! You can just order and pick up the same day. They don’t always charge an arm and leg for deposits. I hope they continue to stay the way they are. Definitely recommend to try them.

Ashley Roy

I absolutely love Aperturent! The staff there are so helpful and welcoming every single time I come to pick up and drop off an order. I wish I would have discovered them a year ago! Being able to rent my gear from them has been a game changer for my photography business. And for a bonus, they have extended rental periods during the holidays where you get the extra days for free! Rent with them, you will NOT be disappointed!

Nivana Campos

In and out super fast. Verification process through secure link made today literally no hassle. Camera looks to be in great condition. I’m happy.

Dennis Pitman

I've rented cameras and lenses from Aperturent four times in the past and am renting again over the holiday this year. Having a local place to rent equipment from it is really convenient to save time and money on shipping. While they don't have every piece of equipment I've wanted to try, they carry enough that I've always been able to find something that suits my needs, with prices that are reasonably close to online competitors. After going through an initial verification process with my first rental, the subsequent orders have been processed very quickly. All the cameras and lenses I've rented have been in excellent condition, and the process to pick up and drop off the equipment has always been fast. The only tricky part was locating their office the first time, as it is located in an upper floor of a generic office building with no signs visible from the street. Once you know where it is, there's no problem getting there, as it is an easy walk from the Farragut North metro station.

Omoleye Akande

I found Aperturent about 6 months ago. I've been happy about my experience renting from here. The process is very smooth and secure. Highly recommend!

Isaac J

Such a cool spot to rent. They have more than competitive prices without the shipping costs for locals. The only knock is drop offs. They only have weekday hours, so commuting into the city during the work week is tough. I’m hoping they’ll have drop off partners in Virginia and Maryland.

Charles Reynolds

I had a great experience with this company. I’ve rented from them two times in the past couple months. Ordering online was seamless and I was able to pick up my order pretty quickly. Their DC office is fairly new so they don’t have as much inventory, but they are flexible and can have pretty much anything you want shipped in. The first time I rented with them through their DC office I was given a complimentary camera bag. The last time I rented from them I forgot to return a lens hood and they were flexible and gave me time to turn it back in. I would highly recommend them.

JoAndrew Valeriano

I love this place so much! they have great availability and people there are great! definitely a place I would reccomend for camera rentals and everything in between! Great prices as well.

John Burris

I always rent equipment here in the DMV. They are fast, friendly, and equipment is in great condition.

Dan Boggs

I have rented lenses from Aperturent several times and each time has been flawless! The equipment is packed well and in great condition.

BLCK PRTY

Solid experience all around: price, value, selection, ease of access, customer service, professionalism. Everything was top notch. Love the little hard case the equipment is delivered in. Was a avid borrow lenses user, looks like I have a new go to local business.

Dominik Jenkins

I hate it took me this long to find Aperturent! I would of been started years ago renting from them! Absoultley one of the best camera rental stores in DC! 5/5 stars!

folasade ogunmokun

This has been the hidden gem that I needed. As a creative in a busy industry where it's a lot to keep up with the new gear, I find it amazing to be able to rent whatever equipment I need in such a fast way! It's always easy and the staff is great. I highly recommend, especially the DC location.

Matthew Emmanuel

Been renting all sorts of camera gear from the Washington, DC location for a few months now and I couldn’t be more happier with the products available, the customer service, and delivery. I’ve requested special requests for pick up and they always accommodate. Pricing is fair for most gear rentals and I highly recommend Aperturent to all my fellow photographers and videographers in the area.

Soon Kweon

Have rented from Aperturent many times over the years. Process is smooth from both check-in and check-out. Friendly staff is always a huge plus for me at any business knowing that it means it's a healthy workplace. Feels nice to support a local company and definitely my first (and really only) shop when looking for rentals.

Leslie Kershaw

I love Aperturent ! It is my go-to location in DC for camera equipment. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The DC location has a great variety of camera equipment that allows me to access gear quickly b/c the location is in a central and convenient location. I appreciate that during this time they using COVID precautions and protocols.

Anthony J Minter

Literally the only place I rent from since I found out about them. Excellent service, great prices and convenient. I’ve told so many people about them. THE BEST

Andre Benn

1st time user of apertureNT and loved it. The check in experience was easy and I particularly liked the pickup because I was able to talk to one of your professionals at the counter in DC and he was so very helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent service and great experience

Gloriana Wills

Great service! Very straightforward and organized, equipment is in great shape and pick up and return are extremely fast.

gerald hatch

Aperturent is always my go to place for equipment rentals. They always have what I need and are quick in approving my request. Customer service is always great and accommodating to my needs. Definitely would recommend to any photographer or videographer looking to improve their work.

Christina Perry

I've been renting from Aperturent since the beginning of my business, and I plan on staying with them! Their customer service is amazing, and they are able to answer all my questions about gear and recommendations. I also appreciate that they are taking the necessary precautions with COVID.

Devyy Conde

They are absolutely my favorite people to get my rentals from! Here's why: 1. They have reasonable prices! Usually I rent gear before committing to purchasing anything. 2. They're conveniently located- and its a quick in and out for pickup and dropoff. 3. THEY'RE JUST SO NICE. The best customer service ever, considering that the photo community tends to be so judgy and snooty at times. Oh, and if you so happen to rent within a holiday week, they throw in free rental days. I will never go to anyone else.

Christina Chantharavongsa

This is the only camera rental place I’ll ever go to! Fair and affordable prices; I come here at least once a week to rent, and it’s easy and smooth sailing. The staff are professional, friendly, and helped me so much! Thank you Aperturent :)

Daniel daughtry

Aperturent is amazing! Being able to rent is really helping me grow while saving up for equipment that I can’t afford at the moment. The staff also provides tips that helps out too

Seth Travers

I recently purchased the new Canon EOS R and have been looking to purchase a RF Lens. I did deep research and decided to rent several lenses from Aperturent. Their available selection of lenses are incomparable to the locations and the prices are very reasonable and fair. The whole process was smooth and Mike in the DC Location has been great. Mike gets me in and out in a timely manner. I've picked up lenses early as 9:30am and he was there to sign out the lens as well on a Saturday afternoon. Great experience and will continue to come back as I test out new lenses!

Aaron Schwartz

Extremely smooth experience, very kind and professional! Would use again and recommend

Amarii VIsions

Super organized, quick process, and very helpful when answering any questions you might have. I've rented from Aperturent a few times and I will forever be a returning customer!

Evan Morsell

If you live in the DMV area (Washington DC) this is your only option! I say that if and only if you value prompt service, professionalism and equipment that functions as it should each and every time you request a rental. Honestly, once you meet Mike you'll be sold for life!

Hira Mashkoor

I love renting from Aperturent! I used to rent with them all the time in Atlanta and was so disappointed at the lack of rental resources in Washington, DC until Aperturent decided to open up here. They're always so informative and helpful and the whole rental process is SUPER easy. They're definitely my go-to for all my photography needs. Thanks so much guys!

York Tomita

The online booking was easy and the fee was very good compared to others places in the DC metro area. The product was in anexcellent condition - it was Brad new Sony 70-200mm f/4.0G FE OSS E-Mount Zoom Lens that I rented for one week. The Staff was friendly and helpful too. I will definitely rent them from this place again in the future and I recommend it to my friends.

Sidney Hahm

Discovered Aperturent after foolishly renting gear online and realizing that even though convenient, the shipping costs were just too much. Found that the process going to Aperturerent was just as convenient! Saved my shipping costs by hopping on the red line and walking two minutes right to the building. Michael was incredibly helpful in getting my gear to me quickly, and I definitely appreciated his insight in the lenses I was about to rent. If you're a metro area local there's really no reason not to be renting from here.

Keith Burns

My go-to place for videography and photography rentals. I wish I had known about this place sooner.

Stephan Ortman

Excellent advice and service. I went a photo safari to Nepal and India and took amazing pictures with the equivalent rented at apaturent. As a novice photographer, they provided me great guidance on what type of equipment to consider. Transaction at their DC office was quick and friendly.

Abiola Fakile

Great spot to rent equipment from in the area! The items are always in pristine condition and Mike is so knowledgable about what they offer. I'm definitely a regular lol

Ashley Jean

I love renting from Aperturent, the booking process is super simple & they provide the most equipment to rent out of all the places I've ever rented from. I will continue to come here for all of my photography needs!

Sean Moody

Michael was a big help and even let me test my equipment a few days before the rental. So happy to have a hub right next to most of my jobs.

Kalin Hicks

I wanted to try out some new gear for an event I was working and it was a wonderful experience. The person at the desk made sure I had the right parts and it came very well packaged! I will be going back very soon!

Jesse Alexander Jr

these guys have never let me down they are easy to work with and very knowledgeable

Eric Ruth

Great experience, and a great value on the Sigma Contemporary 150-600 lens. My intent was to rent for a week, and as it turned out, I got the lens for 21 days because they were closed from 12/22 - 1/2 for the Xmas/New Years break. Bonus for me. According to the rep, the lens was literally brand new, and had never been rented before, and I can believe it. The lens was pristine. I rented the lens for some bald eagle photos at conowingo dam, and the eagle action was less than I hoped for, but I still got a few nice shots. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this specific lens to others. I have the canon 100-400 (push pull) version, and it's about 1/2 the weight, and the zoom action is much easier to operate.

Charles Stokes

I walked in picked up my lens in five minutes. It was convenient easy and is walking distance from the White House and Farragut square. When I returned my lens’ the associate gave me a few tips before I went on my way. I would definitely rent there again. I ended up buying the 20mm Sigma ART before returning the leased glassffom a local reseller. Aperturant really helped me make the decision.

Dmytro Kostiuchenko

My first lens rental and I love how hassle free it was. I got equipment in a perfect shape, clean and dust-free glass, all tightly packed in a padded plastic container. Will use again when I want to test equipment before buying.

Cee Mil
