At the rack

Rent your pole

  1. Pick your poles

    Find the length and weight you need on the rental racks. Check live availability first so you know it's in.

  2. Scan the QR code

    Scan the code on each pole. The PVR app opens with the pole in your cart. Scan more to add more; swipe left to remove one. Tap Next.

  3. Choose how you're billed

    Pick your billing interval: 7 days or monthly. That's how often you'll be charged until you return the pole. Tap Select.

  4. Confirm and pay

    Check the Checkout page, tap Confirm and pay. Your poles now show on the My Poles page. Time to vault.

When you're done

Return your pole

Billing continues until the pole is returned in the app. Putting it back on the rack isn't enough.

  1. Start the return

    Open PVR and tap the Return icon (top right). Report any damaged or missing poles here.

  2. Tap your poles

    Tap your phone to each pole you're returning, tap Next and confirm.

  3. Tap the Return Tag

    Tap your phone to the Return Tag on the PVR poster by the Inverted Rentals racks. Check that My Poles is empty.

For coaches

Renting for a school team

Set up one email account for you and your athletes to share (email accounts are easier to share than phone numbers). Pre-fill the billing info on a device logged into that account, then share the login with your athletes. You can change the password in the app at any time.

Rent as many poles as you need. Each one appears on the shared My Poles page, so you always see what the team has out.

Coach checklist

  • Shared email account created
  • Billing info added on a logged-in device
  • Athletes know: only the renter uses the pole
  • Hard-sided tube for transport
  • Return in the app at season's end
