People own a lot of stuff. However, 80% of the stuff people own is used less than once a month. Others want access to that stuff on a temporary basis, but there currently is not an organized online marketplace to connect people who have stuff with people who need stuff. The lack of a centralized rental platform forces people to search within the traditionally offline rental shop industry, which is composed of small rental shops with poorly designed websites that are hard to navigate and find. In many cases, this process is time consuming, frustrating, and fails to meet the unique needs of customers.
RentStuff.com solves the need to connect renters and lenders in a more efficient way. The secure, web-based platform aggregates all of the available rental items in your city from both individuals and businesses. Individuals can now earn extra money renting out their unused items. Rental shops now have an online presence and an efficient way to connect with consumers. Overall, renters and lenders are able to connect in better ways than ever before.

Why do you care?

RentStuff.com helps people to both make money and save money. Have a digital camera in your apartment that you rarely use? Safely rent it out to those nearby to earn additional income. Need a kayak for the weekend? Rent one using our site instead of buying one to save a significant amount of money and avoid the hassle of having to store it later. In cities like Chicago, where many people are space constrained, renting is often a smarter choice than buying.
RentStuff.com handles secure payments using credit cards, and security deposits protect items in case there is damage. The renter and lender meet up in a safe, public place to exchange the item. Creating an account and listing items are both free. Popular rental categories on the site include outdoor goods, clothing and accessories, vehicles, photography equipment, event rentals, and electronics.
