You might be OK at $200. if it's a one time deal...........seems a bit steep to me for a $2K machine. But, you've got to determine how many times you can rent it in a season. If it's only three or four times, then you'll need to charge $200. to amortize the machine cost. If you can rent it 10 times in a season (very doubtful), you can certainly reduce the rental fee to $125 or so.
