    Where are you? Knowing that would help.

    Rental houses will often ship anywhere, but starting someplace close to home is usually easier and cheaper.

    …and what are you trying to rent?

    35mm? 16mm? DV? HD? RED? Genesis? Knowing that can make a big dif, too.

    I don’t have any specific recommendations in that part of the country, but so close to Dallas I’m betting it would be super easy to find a really good vendor, and you wouldn’t have to worry about the shipping hassles and wasted time from places we would recommend elsewhere. Heck there’s even a Panavision office in Dallas.
