The Over the Top Swap event provides a easy and affordable way for you to de-clutter your closet and exchange your previously loved clothing for “swap tokens”. You can use these tokens to “buy” any items you like from the swap. Once you choose your clothes, register online for one of our early drop-off events. These events will be hosted at select Budget Car and Truck rental locations throughout Edmonton. On the day of the early drop-off event you registered for, bring down your items and have them checked in by one of our friendly staff members. You’ll receive your swap tokens, your wrist band, and a pamphlet outlining the event schedule. Now you’re set, all you need to do now is to show up on the day of the event with your swap tokens and wrist band, eager and ready to swap ’till you drop.
