The charge is the number of calendar days the kit is out, at the per-unit daily rate.

• Off-campus documents must be filed for use greater than 7 consecutive days, or for travel outside of South Florida.
• International use is not offered through the standard checkout process and is considered only case by case.

Billing is typically monthly for recurring use, or a one-time invoice when the kit is returned for single rentals.
