How does Starlink Rental Work?
Starlink Rentals start at $25 per day, with discounts for terms over 7 days. Full prices can be viewed here. Send us a message through our contact page to make your reservation. Pickup and drop off is located downtown (Calgary & Edmonton). The kit is fully preconfigured and loaded with an active subscription and a wifi password. All you need is open, unobstructed sky and a power source.
Why do I have to leave a deposit?
Much like any equipment rental service we need to take a deposit to protect ourselves from theft or abuse of equipment. Rental terms can be viewed here.
What can I use Starlink Roam kits for?
Think of Starlink as the same as your home or work internet connection, it is fast enough for streaming TV shows, films, music, online gaming and working remotely. We rent the systems to lots of different customers, from RV users and travellers, to oil & gas, survey and film production businesses.
What if I arrive at my destination and starlink is not working?
It may take 5-20+ minutes after powering up your Starlink to connect to the satellite system. We recommend downloading the Starlink app before you leave so you can diagnose any issues. Links: iOS & Android. The placement of the dish is very important, it requires a clear view of the sky with no nearby obstructions like trees or a trailer. The app has a couple of features that can be helpful. First check the statistics menu for uptime and any faults. Secondly, we recommend trying the obstacle check function that uses your phone camera if you are still having connection issues.
Why do I need the Starlink app?
Once you connect to the wifi network the starlink kit creates, the app allows you to diagnose issues, stow the dish and check of obstructions or network status. You will not be able to modify some system options or the subscription type as each system is linked to our account.
Are there any data limits or costs on top of the rental price?
No there is no data limit and no costs on top of the rental price. Starlink does have a fair use policy that is applied to all systems, so if you left the system downloading huge files for days and days the speed may be reduced. If you think you will be using the system very heavily, please ask us about adding a small priority data option to your rental.
