Do you really need to BUY satellite gear? Sometimes, absolutely. But if you only need it for a week-long trip, hunting season, an expedition or a temporary job site, renting can make a lot more sense.
Here’s a real example:
A Garmin inReach Mini 2 currently costs $349.99 to buy from Outfitter Satellite. Or you can rent one from $100 for a week.
If you’re only going off-grid once or twice a year, that difference matters.
Renting can be especially useful when you:
🏕️ Have one big trip coming up
🦌 Only need satellite comms during hunting season
🏗️ Need equipment for a temporary project or job site
🗺️ Want to try a device before buying one
👥 Suddenly need several units for a group or team
📡 Need something more expensive, like Starlink or a satellite hotspot, for a limited period
Buying usually starts to make more sense when you’re using the equipment regularly and want it permanently ready to go.
Outfitter Satellite offers rentals across satellite phones, Garmin inReach devices, Starlink and Iridium hotspots, with rental periods typically starting from seven days.
And renting doesn’t only apply to the cheaper stuff either. An Iridium GO! exec rental, for example, currently starts from $399 for a two-week hire with an unlimited data package.
So before you automatically hit “buy”, ask yourself, "How many times am I actually going to use this?" If the answer is, “Just for this trip”, renting might be the smarter move.
