for what they are worth to hire, plus the insurance deposit.... normally around $1000. don't bother
you won't be the only one out there at that time of year. a good radio will suffice
other option is to buy your own... $350-$400 and its yours for good

Can you get a pre paid sat phone? For $400 sounds like a good investment, but if you have to pay rental fees for 11 months of the year when not in use, maybe wouldnt be.

Suspect Brian is talking about a member of this site. Worth checking out. I took his sat phone on a 16 week trip up north earlier this year. Didn't use it (or even turn it on, other than to test it when we got it). But since it was for emergency use, that's good news.
Much better than hiring commercially which was more expensive than buying one for the time we wanted.
