Rental Information and Frequently Asked Questions:

Q.  How much is it to rent a drink machine from  RENT A RITA!?
A.  Our prices vary  throughout the year upon availability and  seasonal demand.  Our average rental price is $125 per machine.  We require a $150 deposit when your party date is booked, the  remaining balance is due when the machine is delivered.  Tipping your delivery driver is not required, but appreciated!

Q.  What  is in  the standard service package ?
A.  In addition to the machine we provide the table,  festive "theme" table cloths, cups, salt, straws and napkins for $15.00.  Our mixes  are made from  REAL  fruit juices  (not that yucky syrup!) and come in five gallon buckets .  The mixes average $25.00 per bucket.  There is a $40.00 delivery, setup and pick up fee, including a small fee for multiple stairs.  The machine  weighs approximately 180 pounds, the dimensions are 18x24x24 .  They are quiet and can be operated inside without annoying noise to disrupt your party.  NO ice is needed!

Q.  Are the machines easy to use?
A.  Yes indeed!   We mix your first batch and show you how to use the   machine.  We leave clear printed instructions but  we also have  a professional yet FUN staff available to stay and serve  you at an additional charge.  

Q.  How many drinks does one batch yield?
A.  One batch makes  approximately 50 ten oz. drinks.  Our experience shows that usually more than half of guests drink a frozen drink if you offer a choice.  We recommend one batch for every 25 guests.  We provide extra mix in case of higher than expected consumption; however, we  only charge for what you  use.

Q.  How long does  it take to freeze?
A.  We are the ONLY company  in Nashville with immediate freeze machines!  Outside, on a very hot day, may take up to  ten minutes - inside, approximately  eight  minutes.  There is NO  "downtime" in between batches, the reservoir tank light will flash when it is time to add  more mix.  One machine will deliver  consistently frozen drinks for up to  100 guests.  
If more guests are expected, a second machine is strongly recommended.
 

Q.  Does the machine require any special power?
A. No, however a machine requires a  DEDICATED outlet  the machines pull 16 amps of power, so nothing else can be plugged in.

Q. Can a machine be used  in places other than homes or party venues?  
A. 
Yes, as long as there is wired power or a generator (which we have available for rental).  We frequently provide machines for parties on boats, boat docks, party and tour buses and tailgating events.  

Q.  Who provides the liquor and how much will I need?
A.   Due to TN state law,  the customer provides all the liquor (and hopefully a designated driver! ).  Each batch of margaritas calls for 1.75 liter of tequila and one liter of  triple sec per batch.  (You don't need expensive tequila because our mix is soooo good!)    Each batch of rum /vodka drinks requires two liters  per batch.

Q. 
Are other drinks available?
A.  ABSOLUTELY!   Although we specialize in Margaritas ~  We also offer Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Peach Bellinis, Passion Fruit, Hurricanes, "Cruzan Confusion", Rum Runners, Orange Dream Scicle,  Raspberry, Mangoritas ( a HUGE  hit!) and Strawberry Ritas.  ALL can be made as non-alcoholic fruit slushies for kids.

Q.  
How  far in advance should I reserve my machine?
A.  We recommend  AT LEAST one month in the  spring and summer seasons, and  for traditional party dates like Cinco De Mayo, July 4th, Halloween, Christmas and New Years.
