How to avoid scams when renting technical gear in Nicosia, Cyprus?

[ArmenAmbartsumyan]

I’m planning a small project in Nicosia and need to rent some technical gear, but I’ve heard stories about people getting scammed here. Last year, a friend thought he got a great deal, but the equipment turned out to be faulty and the company disappeared. I really want to avoid that. Does anyone have tips on how to make sure the rental is legit and reliable?

When I rented audio equipment for an event in Nicosia, I was extra cautious. I always check for reviews, ask for clear photos, and confirm the pickup and return policies. What helped me the most was cross-checking multiple suppliers and making sure the company had a real office address. Also, documenting the condition of the gear before leaving helped avoid disputes later. For a general idea of trustworthy rental setups in Nicosia, I found car hire nicosia https://secrental.com/cyprus/nicosia/cars useful—it gave me an overview of pricing and rental practices that apply to technical gear as well.
