Castex Rentals

Ive been producing for three years in Los Angeles and I’ll never go anywhere else for production supplies, etc. they are always efficient, professional, and affordable. No one does it better!

Guys (and gals) are all super friendly &hepful. Super service loading and unloading.

Our project needed a special rig to hang seamless independent of C-​Stands. Salesperson Levik spent time with us and helped us figure out a smart rig in which the Seamless appeared to hang without support.
That kind of service is very much appreciated and something you don’t find everywhere.

Castex Rentals is one of the oldest Motion Picture Equipment Rental shops in Hollywood Ca. In the early 1980’s my family opened Ren-​Mar Studios, and Castex Rentals was one of the first companies we used for our production rental needs. Castex was owned at the time by Tex & Marie Jackson, a family owned business that has stood the test of time. To this day Castex has stayed true to the customer service standards set by Mr. & Mrs. Jackson.
Over the many years of dealing with Castex, my the family has always felt they had the best service anyone could hope to receive. Now Castex is in its third generation of ownership and is setting the bar even higher for the Motion Picture Industry. I recently used Castex for a personal event and was once again happy with the price and service, they provided me. Why try the rest? Just go to the best, Castex won’t let you down!

So long since I’ve shot in L.A. Castex was my one-​stop source for everything, and they didn’t mock hopeless executive self. Thanks, Keith!!!

I bought a used barber chair from Castex that I found posted on Craigslist for $ 60. I needed the chair for a film I’m working on and was under a tight budget. The original cost of this chair was something like $ 450! Levik sold the chair to me for $ 50 and even helped me load it into my car and dismantle it so it would fit. The chair is completely functional and looks great. I was blown away by Levik’s customer service. I even bought some gaff tape while I was there. There were lots of dudes moving around when I arrived so I imagine these guys are kept busy. I only got a glimpse of their equipment inventory and very impressed

Love this place they are here to make dreams come true! Best service and customer care! If you want your production to be flawless start here!

I am a producer here in Los Angeles and have been renting from Castex for the last 10 years. I wouldn’t rent anywhere else, they are the best hands down! They have EVERYTHING you need and things you didn’t even know you needed. I especially love Evan, he has always taken care of me and is a pleasure to work with. All the guys at Castex go above and beyond to make your experience a good one and that is rare in Hollywood.

I’m a commercial art coordinator in Los Angeles and so it is not my decision often as to which rental house to go to. But, when we do go to Castex, I’m always super impressed by the customer service. Evan makes me feel as though I’m the only client — updating me with totals, speedy invoices, etc. It’s great and if I did have a choice in rental houses, it would be Castex. Often, I will call them with questions about their gear and everyone there is super informative and friendly. Highly recommend these guys!

Greatest group of people all around! Awesome services provided by experienced and knowledgeable crew. Awesome group of guys at the ready to help you with loading in/​out.
Huge inventory of rentals: Production supplies, styling /​vanity supplies, grip, lighting (HMI, tungsten, Kinoflo, expanded inventory of Profoto), cabling (bates, camlock, etc)
dollies /​tracks, on and on
Rentals has vehicles available as well, built out cube and sprinter packages.
They have a welder in house, so there’s some custom stuff you can only find here.
All equipment is clean and well maintained. They also offer repair services for a ton of gear.
Well stocked expendable store with a full color range of Superior brand seamless.
You need it? They most likely have it, and if they don’t they’ll get it for you, or point you in the direction of someone who does.
Open on the weekend (Saturday’s 9 – 1)
Our business wouldn’t operate as smoothly without them. True life savers again and again! The Best!

I am a commercial/​MV line producer in LA, and I use Castex for every job. The staff is incredibly accommodating — they turn my paperwork around very quickly and are always available when I inevitably have to make a million last second changes to my order. The equipment always shows up in good condition, and they are always very responsible and accurate with returns.
Great group of people offering premium service at a reasonable price. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Back in January I planned a week-​long video shoot throughout California and needed to rent a Sprinter van at the last minute. A few days before the shoot I called Castex and explained my specific needs. They cheerfully replied that they had the perfect rental and even offered to outfit the van with special brackets to mount our equipment (bicycles and camera equipment). Our rental looked new and was perfectly clean. The quality of Castex’s rentals and customer service can’t be beat!

Best in the world. Great customer service and they have everything I need. Production, Art dept, trucking, and lighting. Now that they have strobe lighting packages I don’t need to go anywhere else.
I always feel well taken care of whether I have a $ 50 or a $ 2000 order.
Keep up the good work!

I have used them three times now and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Not only do they have good prices on rentals, but their staff is so nice and great to work with… why go anywhere else?

Castex is a rare breed in today’s production world — they have unparalleled customer service. I’ve been working with them for 10 years, and they always make sure your needs are taken care of, even then challenging lower budget jobs! Amazing, quick and super helpful warehouse staff — great guys! Keith, Krista, Laura… awesome. Evan? The best!

Man this place is awesome. They are very energetic and friendly and they work fast. They had all my equipment waiting for me. I just drove up in my truck and they even loaded it for me. Must have been in and out in 20 minutes, even with a small truck’s worth of rental equipment.

I prefer to get my gear here rather than other rental houses. The staff is friendly and help put your gear in your truck with you to speed up getting out fast. The pricing is lower than a lot of places and the gear is in great condition.

An L.A. rental house with lots of gear for rent for still and video production. They had a nice and welcoming staff when I went in.
