Llama Rental Rates: September, October, November = $35/day/llama, All other months=$30/day/llama
The rental price includes the llama's halter, lead rope, picket ropes, saddle, packs (panniers), buckets or coolers (if desired), and feed (if needed). Each pannier can hold two square 4-gallon buckets and has two large outside pockets. The buckets have lids that make them virtually water-proof. If you would like to also use a cooler or two just let us know. These hard plastic Coleman coolers will fit inside the pack in place of the two buckets. If you use the llamas during hunting seasons, we'll supply fluorescent-orange "don't-shoot-me" neck bands, and flagging to tie around their picket area.

Stock Rack: $50 for trips up to 7 days, then $5/day
For those persons wishing to transport the llamas themselves, we have several self-standing stock racks. A rack can be slid into the back of your pickup by two strong adults then cam-strapped in place, only touching the bed. Two sizes are available to fit full-size long-bed (8-foot) or short-bed (6-foot) pickups. A short-bed rack will fit 3 llamas and a long-bed rack will fit 4 llamas. A ¾-ton pickup is recommended when hauling 4 llamas.

Trailer: $150 for trips up to 7 days, then $15/day We have several small 2-horse trailers that can haul up to 3 or 4 llamas, and larger 12 to 14-foot stock trailers that can haul up to 8 or 9 llamas. The trailers are towed with a standard 2-inch square-tube receiver hitch system. The small trailers use a 2-inch ball, the larger trailers use a 2 5/16 ball. Ideally, the ball on your vehicle should be 18 to 20 inches above the ground (measured from the base of the ball to the ground). We have electric adapters to hook up wiring on most any vehicle. A $300 deposit is required for a trailer rental. This amount is added to the llama pack deposit check and will be returned to you after your trip upon return of the trailer in good condition.

For Reservations: Once you decide on the number of llamas you want to use, the dates of your trip, and how to transport the llamas, give us a call or email. We'll work up a draft rental agreement and mail it to you for your review. It everything looks ok on the agreement, a deposit equal to 25% of the total rental fee is required to reserve your llamas and gear. The balance is due on the departure date (when you pick up the llamas and gear). Only cash, personal checks, or money orders are accepted.

An equipment deposit check will also be required for items rented: $75 for each set of llama equipment, $50 for a stock rack, and $300 for a trailer. This check will be held and then returned to you after the trip upon return of all equipment in good condition. Arrangements can be made to pick up the panniers early so you can get packed before picking up the llamas.

Refund Policy: Full refunds less a $30 processing fee will be provided for cancellations made thirty (30) days in advance of the departure date. Deposits are non-refundable for cancellations made within thirty (30) days of the departure date. THUNDER CREEK LLAMAS retains the right to cancel due to unforeseen conditions or for other reasons. If we cancel, full refunds will be given. Any rentals returned 3 or more days early will receive a credit for those days and number of llamas on a trip for the following year. The rental season is very busy and trips must often be scheduled around other rental dates. When trips return just a day or two early, there is not enough time to adjust scheduling of other trips.

Release Forms:
All renters will be required to read and sign two release forms. The first is a Llama and Equipment Rental Agreement and Release of Liability. This form outlines the cost and general terms of the rental, and it releases THUNDER CREEK LLAMAS of liability for any accident in connection with use of the rented items. The second form is a Llama Death or Injury Agreement that sets the terms regarding negligent care or acts of renters. Both of these forms can be mailed to you for review as you plan your trip.
