Calculating Rental Fees:

We have stuctured pricing on a sliding scale based on price of equipment and duration of rental. The equipment value list does NOT always reflect the prices at Sonic Sense. It is a price used for calculating the rental cost in conjunction with the sliding scale. To calculate approximate rental charges for a system, please use the price tables below for calculating the price of the system and then refer to the Rental Price chart, or call us at (877) 324-4463 for a quote. Seventy-Five percent of rental fees are applicable toward a purchase of equipment within 30 days and 50% of rental fees still apply within 60 days of rental.
