Check Out Our Propane Rental Prices!
- Propane prices will fluctuate monthly with the changing Yen rates to ensure our customers have the best price available.
- Deposits are mandatory on all propane tank rentals. Deposits are refundable when the customer is done using propane or PCSing.
- All tanks are from a Japanese company and most people will be hooking them up to an American grill/fryer so an adapter is necessary to use the tank. The customer can purchase these from Auto Skills Center, however, this is not returnable or refundable.
- Once the customer has been set up with a propane tank, he or she may bring that tank back when it is empty to exchange it for another full tank for the current monthly propane price. Each customer is on a 6-month rental agreement for each tank.
