5. Tips And How-To Rent Costumes In Singapore

Following some tips and tricks I have gathered through several years of “costume renting” in Singapore, make sure you read it!

Tips And Tricks For Costume Rental In Singapore
– Come Early! Again and again, there is only a small limited amount of costumes to rent in Singapore and if you dont appear at least 1-2 weeks before the big events (Halloween, Christmas etc.) chances your desired costume is gone already are big
– Be prepared to pay much money. Even though you are only renting the costume, you will most probably end up with an amount between 100 S$ and 200 S$ depending on the quality and size of your costume.
– There is a safety deposit fee as well, and this will really put the hole in your wallet. Take care of your costume and don’t burn it if you want all your money back, the shops are pretty attentive.
– You will most likely have to rent your costume for a minimum amount of 2 or 3 days, bring back your costume on time or otherwise you will be charged with another day of rental. Again, this is where the shops make their money!
