Yea, shipping is almost always was makes me hesitate to rent for a couple of days when I just need something for a weekend, because it's only really worth it if I rent for a week or more rather than just going to a local rental house. The part about the local places that I dislike, is that you have to put a hold on your CC for the full replacement value, AND they don't offer any insurance coverage like LensRentals does. That part certainly puts my mind at ease, and it's quite reasonable.
