Reviews of Glazer's Camera Rentals

Hariharan Velu

The check in and checkout was efficient. The collection of the camera and other gear is phenomenal. The one day pricing for the weekend is perfect for casual photographers. Parking is tricky and if street parking occupied the nearby paid parking is expensive for a 5 min drop off or pickup.

Glazer Camera Rental is an ideal place for renting a camera lens or other photography equipments in Greater Seattle area. They have a wide variety of lens collections, with great quality and reasonable price. Also the staff are kind and supportive. Definitely recommend!

The Nomad Rides

Im a professional Director, Producer, Cinematographer who ran his own studio in Los Angeles (Studio City close to Universal) till late 2018 when I sold it as a successful running studio. I may know a thing or two about video equipment, lighting, cameras lenses etc... Glazers is a Professional Video, photography equipment rentals. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. This was my first Commercial shoot in Seattle and they made it easy for me.

Rebekah Ueland

Stellar service and exceptional staff! Glazer's team helped me secure a last-minute item when I was a bit frantic. They were super friendly and helpful and had the equipment available. I'll definitely use them again!

Scott Hamlyn

I have been renting lenses and other camera equipment since 2020. My issue with glazer's rentals has always been the customer service and not getting their story straight. A few of the workers are nice. But there are others that are either having a bad day and take it out on you or just won't give you the time of day. I have had both good experiences and bad experiences when it comes to their customer service. It would be helpful for Glazer's rental to update their pdf file for their rental list with the actual terminology that the manufacturer uses or have a sku number or manufacturer number or something so you know what you are renting. If their customer service was better that I would probably give them a four out of five stars. But it depends on the person and the day. Also, when I ask about a deposit for a lens, the story varies from $$$ deposit to literally the price of a brand new lens depending on who you ask. Glazer's should clean up their act in the rental department. While I still plan on renting from them in the future, I do so because it is my only option without going online and paying for shipping.

Gabriel Stranahan

Super helpful. If you're a photographer or videographer or even just making a photo/video for a one-off project and want to do it nicely, don't be intimidated, just go rent something fun here. They make it easy and cheap and will help you figure out what you need.

Scott Moore

Always stellar service and great people. I've never had a bad experience over many years. Simply the best.

Borja Campillo

Very efficient, understanding and cool people. They were patience and helpful.

Aaron Wheetman

The best rental house in Seattle. Great selection and super knowledgeable team.

Ryan Thrower

Rented a lens for my Fuji. Great experience from the ease of renting it to returning it. The lens was like brand new! Very friendly staff. 10/10 highly recommend

Moharnab Saikia

I rented a Sony lens for the weekend and the process was very smooth. If you book for the weekend they only charge you for 1 day which is great 😃. Would rent from them again. …

Christian Waldo

Everyone at Glazer's is friendly, knowledgeable, and no pushy when it comes to helping you find the right equipment. I have gone to Glazer's for both work and personal needs, as well as used their rental services, and every time it has been smooth sailing and even dare I say, enjoyable. For those looking to support a true local institution there's no other choice.

First Orion

We can't say enough good things about Glazer's. They worked with us on a last-second project, from equipment to setting up a corporate account, and did it all in hours. We got the gear we needed and service that far exceeded our expectations. This is a fantastic small business that deserves all the support you can give it.

Jeff McGraw

Highly recommended. Reasonable prices, knowledgeable staff and huge array of gear. I've come here for years and always found what I was looking for. Weekend rentals are treated as a single day. Combined with their retail store and lighting store down the street Glazer's is the best camera shop this side of San Francisco

Dom Weldon

Love this shop. Renting expensive lenses to see how I like them before purchasing. Steep deposit (price of the lens) but low rental prices and more than fair rental periods. I'll definitely be a repeat customer!

pol rosenthal

Staff are highly knowledgeable. When given environmental conditions we’d face on our trip across Southern Africa, they were able to help us choose the right camera. They had suggestions for batteries needed, protective gear, and more. They also didn’t mind that it took us three visits to decide. They were always courteous and warm even as we fretted at spending so much money. And in the end it was worth it!

Mahendran P

November 2020: during covid: so far the experiences has been great. Friendly staff. Easy pickup and delivery. It’s is cheaper compared to Borrow lenses. You can rental on Saturday and can return on Monday and the most of it. However, Its better to buy the stuff if you’re going to pay more than 40% of the cost of the product in rental

mattgr50

I am about to move to Tacoma from West Seattle. Realizing there just isn't any good shops in the South Sound. Glazer's has been a great place to rent from. Pricing is fair, service is amazing and the gear is always in great shape. I had a few instances where they were very willing to work with me on my deposit and a few other situations, due to my history of renting with them. Meaning, they are very focused on customer service and loyalty. They always have the gear I need available as well. Definitely recommend these guys. The Glazer's store is also amazing and everytime I go in there, it's very low pressure, informative, educational service.

Srikanth Hegde

Good camera rentals at Seattle, good collection of equipment and good quality of equipment at reasonable price

Scott Nelson

I recently rented a Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 S for a trip to Glacier NP. From the moment I called to check availability and reserve to returning it, they were super helpful and just great to work with.

Kaitlin Larson

Rented from here 3 times so far and have been pleased. Will use them again. A good selection of gear readily available. My only issue is that 1 out of the 3 times I rented a light kit, one of the stands that came with it was broken - wouldn't tighten. I didn't think to check before I left, so we were down a light for the shoot. Wasn't a big deal, but I'd recommend remembering to check the gear yourself as well to see what you're leaving with. Other than that one time, it's been great.

Omar Alvarado

This place became a lot friendlier, perhaps it’s because I look older and more serious about my Work than when I was in my 20s which is when I stopped going. Back then nobody would help me or answer questions. There are a lot of new faces and a few of the older ones I remember. there used to be three locations, the equipment store, the rental store, and the camera store, now they have one large building. I am primarily a film shooter and I like to buy film and bring it home when I need it so buying locally to me has become important. and as much as helping local businesses. I decided to give a second chance to the store after about 10 years, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised that they change their customer service for the good. I will keep Shopping from this store, they have customer parking which is nice with all the development going on around them. I recommend this store to everyone even if just for the eye candy of cameras and lenses 😃

Emanuel Profir

Super nice and friendly staff. Went in there to rent a lens for my first time, and I was out within like 10 minutes. Totally stress free. Will definitely be coming here again for more rentals!

Lori Lane

I called ahead for a last minute rental and they suggested a reservation to ensure it would be available when I arrived. I decided to take a chance and showed up without reserving anything and as it turned out, I really didn't know what I needed. Their staff helped me determine what equipment to use and were very fast and thorough. Their prices and deposit were very fair and reasonable. If I need to rent equipment again, I will certainly go back.

Jason Russell

This place is a savior for photographers, both professional and amateur. Amazing selection of all things photography. They make renting very easy, with a simple deposit based on the items you want to rent. They have helped me with same day rentals as well. They also have sales on items and I have recently purchased a back up D750 Nikon in great shape at a very good price. This is the perfect answer gor anyone looking for that one off item you rarely use, or to try out aomething in the field you have been thinking of buying. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly as well. Highly reccomend!

Aniket Oak

The staff and policies are very friendly. The gear is in very good condition. The selection is wide. Rates are reasonable especially for lenses. Plus, if you buy the same equipment from their store they reduce the price by rent amount.

Joseph Harmon

If you need a rental item and staff that are quite knowledgeable, this is the only place to go. I've used their gear for big shoots and always feel confident about the end result.

J C

Good cameras, gear, and lighting equipment. However staff is quite condescending; I simply asked about how and when the deposit payment would work because some rental businesses have it differently and I wanted clarity, I was met with smart remarks and rude tones as if I'm wasting their time. Happened more than once when renting with a buddy on multiple topics of discussion, thankfully they're not the only camera gear rental business in WA.

Pixel Bokeh Productions

I've been renting equipment from Glazer's for a few years now and every single time it's been a really positive experience. It's the staff that really make it what it is. If I have questions, they take the time to answer. When I've needed to change or add an item to the rental, there's never been an issue. Most importantly, they know about the gear they're renting out and look after it. In 20+ rentals I've only had one issue with a piece of gear and they sorted it right away. Yes, parking has been a pain while DOT's been working on Mercer, but I don't hold that against Glazer's Rentals. I have been able to find parking along the street in front pretty much every time and if not, use their carts to get the gear loaded. There are other options in Seattle, but Glazer's will always be my first choice for rentals. The staff at Glazer's Rentals rocks!

Nathaniel Willson

Great Camera Store. Great Rentals Department. They almost have it all. Very helpful if your not quite sure what you need. They will help you figure it out. Wish you could arrange demos through them. Occasionally I'm surprised that the don't rent an item I'm looking for.

Jimmie Willis

I don’t know much about photography or the photography world. But I was helping my girlfriend, who does and is a professional in the industry, drop off gear for a crew from a large shoot last night. The gentleman there was being quite short, cold, and not friendly. Wasn’t a direct ass of anything but not very welcoming. The rest of the staff seemed to be very welcoming. Just thought I’d share.

Spence Redford

Great service with everything I need. The worst part of going to Glazer's is the lack of parking. They picked a terrible location for a rental company. It's hard to find a spot in front so it can be a hassle to park down the street and hawl your equipment to your car. But besides that annoyance, this is your top notch rental company in Seattle.

Roman P

Over the years I've rented big lenses and DSLRs, and the service is excellent. The gear comes with cases, so it's easy to transport it. Glazer's prices are hard to beat.

Jackie D.

They ALWAYS seem to have the equipment I need to rent, at a moment's notice. This last time, I walked in without a reservation, and walked out with a lens in two minutes flat. Super fast checkout, and awesome availability. Their customer service staff are super helpful and knowledgable, and you couldn't ask for a better local experience when looking to test or rent new-to-you equipment.

Marcus Klotz

Dennis in the rental department is like a camera Yoda! The force of the shutter is strong with him. Everyone else there is pretty much on jedi photographer level too though. I always get what I need and they are quick to help me out. The only problem i see with this place is the location, traffic around rush our is just insane!

Josh Wells

Excellent service, great staff. Best place in Seattle to rent camera gear.

Arman Cohan

Awesome place. Friendly staff and quick service. They have a great inventory and whatever I wanted they've always had it available. Highly recommend them.

Sean Misa

The employees here are very helpful and knowledgeable with their products. Everyone was friendly and professional with their opinions about the best gear for your needs. They have a good selection of camera gear to rent with a reasonable price.

Rob Miller

Always on track and very forgiving. They have a wide range of gear for not much more than you'd find online. Fast pickup and drop off process when there's not a line, and they are usually pretty willing to help with any questions I may have. Knowledgeable staff is a big plus here.

Martin Genev

Glazer's is great to have in your city when you are impatient to wait for a shipment online. They do well with price matching. Just don't sell them used gear. They'll get you hard.

Rachel M

There's no substitute for the combined years of experience and knowledge we have access to at Glazers Camera. It's more than just a camera store. I trust them to advise me and sell me the gear I actually need, not just what's new and expensive, and that's rare in the world of retail sales these days.

Michael Patrick Hoyle

I rented the canon 24-70 before I bought it thanks to this place! Really friendly staff and educated. I highly recommend them for any of your photography needs!

Rich Harmer

They have a well tuned rental machine here. Quick in and out, ready to go, showed me how to use the gear and ensured it was all there. Reasonable prices too. Wish there was one in Minnesota.

SamPNW

Great camera store with amazing staff. Events are great to go to. Prices are standard and up to date with the deals of the manufactures. Used selection is great too!

Kailash Mandal

Best place for renting out gears(camera, lens, flash, tripod and many more accessories) for still and video photography at reasonable price, parking is in front. Tip - rent gear on Friday and return on Monday with 1 day rental charge.

Craig Yuen

Went in to rent a lens for a trip on a holiday weekend. Service was mediocre at best. The selection was decent, but nothing was available.

Edi Valcheva

The lens was perfect and the staff is friendly but it's already 3 weeks since I returned it and the $1600 hold on my card is not cleared.

James Casson

I always enjoy my experience with Glazer’s. Hands down the place to go for your camera and video needs. It’s definitely worth the 1 hour drive it takes me to get there.

Adam Ferenbach

Good rates on photography equipment rentals, friendly and knowledgeable service as well. Highly recommend if you are looking to rent camera gear that you check this place out.

Roger Knopf

Everything a pro needs at reasonable prices and very knowledgeable staff. The only thing that would make it better would be parking but one can always use Glazer's main parking and walk a couple blocks.

Jon

Easy process, nice selection, but, remember they will have to put a hold on your card and depending on the lens you rent it could be a lot of $$$$

Kevin Tran

Great people and quick to get whatever it is that you want to rent ready for when you arrive. Before you leave, I suggest checking to make sure you have everything you requested with one of the employees. Just make it a standard practice.

Johnny Valencia

Top notch service. Staff is always very polite and helpful. Prices on accessories can't always compete with online sellers, but the service more than makes it worth it.

Dan Cumberland

You can rent just about any photo, video, or lighting gear imaginable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and service is fast. It's the best gear rental in the city.
