What can be rented? What is profitable to rent out? “You don’t need a thing, but only its function”
Renting has become a trend in the US. People have realized: borrowing something that you will use 1-2 times is much more profitable than buying it. Previously, this only concerned apartments and cars, but now it has taken over the entire material world. We did some research and found out what Americans rent most often!
1. Dresses
Girls, let's admit it: splurge
- it is expensive. We're not rich enough to buy designer clothes for every event, let alone shoes and accessories. That's why we're loving the new trend: dress rentals. On American sites (for example, Renttherunway.com and Lendingluxury.com), a dress can be rented for 3-5 days for 10% of its full price in the store.Like we have:
RENTMANIA has more than 1600 models of dresses: for holidays, parties and photo shoots. The filter allows you to select the desired color and size. The average rental period is 4 days. This is very convenient if you have a trip or business trip coming up: there is no need to fuss or urgently change plans in order to return the dress on the same day.
2. Tools
Whatever you have in mind: cleaning the carpet, mowing the lawn or simply devoting the whole day to household needs,
- tools will always come in handy. But instead of buying an item for one time, first check: what if it can be rented? Lowesforpros.com rents everything from a window cleaner to a spray gun. At least for a day, at least for a week.
Like we have:
RENTMANIA has more than 250 tools : drills and screwdrivers, hammer drills, compressors and much more. This is enough to make a complete home renovation, saving on the purchase of an expensive set of special equipment.
3. Video games
Are you crazy about Wii Boxing? We understand. We also understand that passion for games can cost a pretty penny. To protect your wallet, do not buy, but rent games. The site is popular among American gamers
Gamefly.com. It works according to the principle of the media giant Netflix: a fixed subscription fee, the ability to stream without a console and a huge library of games in which every gamer will find something to their liking.
Like we have:
RENTMANIA is slowly catching up with American sites. For gamers we have a whole catalog: consoles, games, joysticks, steering wheels and a super new product this fall
- SONY Playstation VR virtual reality helmet! You can also rent a TV- this is going to be the weekend!4. Lenses and photographic equipment
Do you want to capture a friend’s wedding or graduation as a souvenir, but you realize that a soap dish won’t cope with the task? American aspiring photographers have found a way out
- they rent lenses,"carcasses" and light. At Sharegrid.com, all this will cost much less than buying new equipment.
Like we have:
If you also want to test an expensive camera or
lenses - welcome to RENTMANIA. In our catalog- models Canon, Nikon, Carl Zeiss and Sigma. Rental prices are reasonable: from 300 rubles per day. That's only 1% of the cost of a new lens!5. Anything!
Situations in life are different. You feel the urge to get a beach chair or a gorilla suit in the middle of the night
- what to do? In America, aggregator sites like Zilok.com are gaining popularity, where anyone can rent out anything. Almost like a social network- only about rent. It saves a lot of money and effort, and you can also make new friends. Think about it: how can a person to whom you give a gorilla suit under the cover of darkness remain a stranger?

Where: USA
There are already several companies in the States that specialize in dog rentals, and their services are very popular. The dog of the article, size and breed chosen by the customer is delivered directly to the customer’s home at the agreed time. Rental costs approximately $15 per hour. Landlords give all the necessary instructions, but, of course, the client himself has to feed the dog and clean up after him. As a rule, a dog that has charmed its temporary owners so much that they do not want to part with it can be bought for good.
For what:
If you want to get a dog, but you doubt that you can handle it, renting it will serve as something like a test drive. Well, if your girlfriend dreams of a dog, you can practically demonstrate to her that you will not have time to walk with her Italian greyhound, even if she craps in the living room.Goat
Where: California
The landlord claims: a goat is not only a picturesque detail of a country landscape, but also an excellent economical lawn mower! One or several goats, depending on the size of the plot, will be delivered to the customer in the shortest possible time and picked up when the guests have had enough of the cute goats, and the lawn in front of the house takes on a super neat look. The service will cost no more than $100 per day.
For what: so that your relatives don’t pester you all summer with an offer to mow the grass at your summer cottage.
Cuddler
Where: USA
The creators of the Snuggle Buddies company claim that hugs raise the level of the joy hormone - oxytocin, reduce stress, normalize blood pressure and put your head in order no worse than a visit to a psychotherapist. In addition, they are much cheaper: for $60-80 per hour, you can select on the website the profile of a professional cuddler you like based on a photo or self-presentation, and place an order. In a few hours the girl will call back and you will arrange a meeting. True, the agreement is very strict: no sex, kissing, undressing, or even touching intimate parts of the body. For those who do not want to comply with the above conditions, the hugger has the right to use a gas spray or a stun gun. But you can talk about anything: the girls are professionally disposed to empathy, and many have a diploma in psychology or are studying in a relevant specialty.
For what: a great alternative to having a heart-to-heart conversation with friends at a bar, allowing you to save your liver.
Pilgrim
Where: Portugal
On specialized message boards, advertisements are increasingly appearing from those wishing to receive absolution for you at a reasonable price. Moreover, without violating religious rules: for example, a Muslim who has performed the Hajj to Mecca is officially allowed to perform it as many times as he likes for other people, on conditions that suit both parties. Of the Christian “pilgrims for hire,” perhaps the best known is Carlos Gil, who offers for $2,500 to walk from his home in Cascais, a beach suburb of Lisbon, to the tomb of St. Mary of Fatima in Fatima, in the center of the country. Carlos will walk the entire way, and when he gets to the place, in prayer he will convey exactly the customer’s aspirations to St. Mary.
For what: Since the times of the Crusades, this method of pilgrimage has been considered quite official, so you will have a chance to casually mention your involvement in holy places in the company. This makes an impression on the exalted young ladies.
Clown villain
Where: Switzerland
Swiss Dominique Deville adored evil clowns since childhood, and best film of all times and peoples was considered the film masterpiece “Killer Klowns from Outer Space”. It is not surprising that when Dominic grew up, he created the world's first agency in his native Lucerne, where you can rent a real evil clown. A hired clown can follow the customer's enemy for weeks, make scary faces under his window, write frightening letters or act hooliganly on the phone. And being invited to a birthday party, the evil clown will casually insult all the guests, scare the kids to tears and finally smack the birthday boy in the face with a cake. Of course, this fun can be stopped at any time. But they say many people like it.
For what: one of the safest ways to play an innocent prank on your least favorite boss.
Where: UK
Showing off is not just a Russian pastime. In the UK, iPhone rental services are in great demand. At our clients' service are the most different models, from classic to the most fashionable new items. You can order online and the device will be delivered to your home. It is officially believed that the service for renting Apple equipment is intended for future buyers who want to evaluate the previously selected model in advance. But, they say, the main clients of the service are poor students who want to show off in front of their girlfriends. A day's rental will cost an average of £29, and a week's rental will cost £99, which is the cost of a perfectly good new smartphone. But, as you know, show-off is more valuable than money.
For what: you can simultaneously show off in front of the girls and explain to your friends that you are testing the device before buying. Delight and respect on both sides are guaranteed.
iPhone X box
Where: Russia
On the Internet you can find a lot of advertisements from enterprising citizens selling not the latest iPhones, but only their appearance - empty boxes. They are not needed in everyday life, but taking a selfie for a page on a social network and arousing the envy of friends and girlfriends is quite useful. Prices, taking into account the consumer cost of the product, are steep and start somewhere from 300 rubles for a single use.
For what: Well, it’s impossible not to say anything at all on your Instagram about the iPhone X!
drinking buddy
Where: Russia
There are almost more advertisements for the services of a drinking buddy for an hour on message boards on the Internet than there are for renting iPhone boxes. Potential drinking buddies talk in detail about topics that they can support, indicate the degree of intelligence and goodwill, including hops. The services are inexpensive, and they often charge you in kind: drinks and snacks will be provided to you.
For what: It’s somehow awkward for familiar drinking buddies to ask the sacramental question “Do you respect me?” And here you can allow yourself platitudes.
Family member
Where: Japan
In Tokyo, the business of renting out relatives in any composition and quantity has been thriving for two decades. Adult children with grandchildren for single pensioners, a wife with heirs for a businessman, brothers and sisters for those who have always dreamed of having them... In a word, any complete set for your money. And, by the way, they’re not small: they don’t charge less than $1,000 for touching family scenes. You can spend a pleasant evening or even a whole weekend with your new relatives, or you can get by with just an hour, which, they say, is often used by single mothers who order a brutal “dad” for conversations with the school management or the coach of their naughty offspring.
For what: there are a lot of opportunities here! In the event of a conflict with traffic cops, for example, a dad-policeman will come in handy. And if a girl starts talking about marriage more and more persistently, you can introduce her to fake parents - this will temporarily reduce the tension.
Wife
Where: Belgium
In fact, services like “Wife for an Hour” exist in many countries around the world. However, for example, in the USA, the country of victorious feminism, such services are considered a second-class business due to the sexist, in the opinion of the female public, name, which the female public has long demanded to be replaced with something gender neutral. Traditional values are still closer to Europeans. On the website of the Belgian service “Wife for Rent”, it is possible to choose a “temporary spouse” based on external parameters: height, eye and hair color, body type... And although the contract does not allow any ambiguities (only cleaning, cooking, putting things in order and other household chores !), it’s still great when a creature pleasing to your eye flutters around the house in slippers and makes it look divine.
For what: feel like a married man without serious consequences!
In the last issue, among other things, we talked about unusual idea Swiss farmer to rent out cows to tourists - from this issue you will find out what else you can rent out at a profit, and, believe me, some ideas will simply stun you.
However, according to tradition, let's start with quite logical rental business ideas. For example, renting textbooks.
The idea to create such a business came to Rodz after finishing his first year, when he managed to sell his textbooks, which cost 560 dollars for only 18. Then Rodz decided to come up with an alternative to buying expensive textbooks that were needed only for one course of study.
On his website, MyBookBorrow.com, students can submit a request for any textbook and, if they are satisfied with the rental price, then rent it for a year.
But not only students and schoolchildren quickly “grow out” of their textbooks. It turns out that educational games for kids can also be rented.
Two former teachers organized a rental service for children's educational video games, SmartyRents. In their database huge number games for children (starting from 9 months of age), which parents can order online and receive in an envelope by mail (after the rental period expires, they are also obliged to return these games by mail).
But the next idea for a rental business is more of a PR move than a full-fledged business, which, however, does not detract from the originality of the solution. The manufacturer of professional guitars, in order to increase sales of its far from cheap instruments, invited potential buyers to test guitars before purchasing. Of course, not for free.
Now any client can rent a guitar for up to 1 week by first paying a membership fee ($50), and then the rental price itself ($75 per day or 300 per week). Moreover, they rent out not only guitars, but also accessories for them (headphones, belts, cables, cases, etc.).
But, of course, the most variations on the theme of rental are associated with clothing rental. It turns out that it is profitable to specialize not only in the rental of wedding dresses and fancy dress costumes, but also in designer clothing. As does the New York company Rent the Runway, which has the latest collections of leading fashion designers.
The technology of work is simple - customers select a suitable dress from the assortment presented on the website, place an order, pay the rental cost, which is approximately 10% of the cost of the dress (ranging from 50 to 200 dollars), and receive their dress in a special case by postal service.
At the end of the rental period, which ranges from 4 to 8 days, the client returns the dress again through New York postal services.
The Transitional Sizes company followed the same path, although their services are aimed at women who are losing weight, which means they are not ready to buy new clothes until they lose weight completely (at least they naively believe this).
Be that as it may, the company earns good money from this pseudo-rationality of women who are passionate about diets, offering ladies to rent clothes of the required size for up to one month, paying for it only from 3 to 25 dollars, and at the end of the period return them in clean form and in good condition .
But this is not all the options related to clothing rental. Until recently, the niche of pregnant women who wanted to look fashionable even in an “interesting” position remained unreached.
American housewife Marcelle Costello, having first-hand experience with this problem, without hesitation, organized her own company, Rentmaternitywear, to rent dresses for pregnant women.
At the same time, Mrs. Costello not only rents out dresses, but also sews them herself, which increases her profit by an order of magnitude.
The cost of renting maternity dresses varies from $35 to $70 depending on the duration and quality of the dress. It costs $35 to rent a dress for a week, $50 for two weeks, $60 to rent a new dress for a month.
The selected dress is delivered to your home by a certain date via FedEx courier service.
At the end of the rental period, the dress is returned to the Rentmaternitywear store, without preliminary washing, cleaning, etc.
Well, now it’s time to talk about ideas whose rationality is less obvious.
So in the Japanese city of Yakohama, a Candy pet store opened, which can be rented. Buyers are allowed to rent a pet on a short-term basis before they decide to buy. First of all we're talking about about dogs of all shapes and sizes.
The trick of this business idea is that buyers, having once taken a cute, funny puppy home, are unlikely to want to give it back.
But if the owners of a Japanese rental store expect to find a permanent family for their pets in this way, then the FLEXPETS company specializes in rental, training dogs in such a way that owners and tenants can be confident in their good behavior and obedience. We offer dogs of all sizes, shapes, colors and personalities.
In addition, the dog is brought to you with its food and favorite toy so that the animal does not feel discomfort. The dog is required to be equipped with a collar with a GPS sensor and a temperature sensor in order to provide it comfortable conditions stay (temperature conditions, safety). Entrepreneurs apparently don’t care about the stress animals experience when they have become attached to their temporary owners.
And in conclusion - the apotheosis of the absurd.
An entrepreneur from China, Xu Lisha, opened an agency for renting... bridesmaids.
The idea of organizing such a strange rental, to put it mildly, came to Xu after she herself was offered to become a bridesmaid for a fee. Seeing potential and a promising niche for business in this idea, she decided to take a risk and make this type of business her main source of income.
The Chinese entrepreneur is looking for her performers for the role of bridesmaids among university students.
Basic requirements: beautiful face, good figure, well-groomed appearance, stylish hairstyle and good manners.
But the Japanese have established a business for renting entire... families.
The company Hagemashi Tai offers to “remote” a variety of relatives from distant to the closest – spouses and parents. Distant relatives are played by actors for a reasonable fee. Most often, their role is to attend funerals, weddings, and for an additional fee they will also give a congratulatory or condolence speech. By the way, you can also rent your spouse for a while. Moreover, husband rental services are offered in two options - the first husband rental for a single mother with children in order to do some housework, and the second option - trial marriage - for brides who want to experience the feelings and sensations of wedding and marriage before real marriage.
As you can see, the imagination of entrepreneurs is truly limitless. And the most amazing thing is that even ideas that seem crazy at first glance find their buyers.
Therefore, if traditional types of business do not inspire you, then come up with your own idea - as all the entrepreneurs from our reviews did in their time.
And to spur your imagination, take advantage of the author’s development of our portal universal designer of business ideas “Tarot 1000” ideas." With this set, you will create more ideas in a month than your competitors will come up with in a year.
This set combines almost all effective techniques that help you go beyond templates and stereotypes. At the same time, the focus always remains on the applied task, not of developing imagination “in general,” but of finding new, original ideas and solutions applicable in business.
What can be rented other than real estate?
Beach equipment (in resort towns This business is in great demand. after all, not everyone is ready to carry a swimming mattress, children’s circles back and forth); equipment (camera, video camera...); gardening tools (not everyone will buy a lawn mower, but it’s convenient to use from time to time); trade (like all trade equipment from hangers to display cases) or tourist tent(like, in principle, all tourist equipment. It’s expensive to buy, and you don’t go hiking often); boat or boat (for romantic walks couples in love); sporting goods: skates, skis, balls; husband/wife (not in the format of prostitution, but it happens that someone urgently needs to act out a performance in order to provoke emotions, and here your other half can play along in the performance; pets (for filming in films, advertising, exotic animals are often rented out, for example , photographers); furniture (maybe you have an extra table lying around, but someone urgently needs it, for example for a first-grader); baby strollers, bicycles, scooters, swings (everything related to children’s active games and dishes (for example, super-duper service); paintings (both your own and others’); any construction equipment (if you have a crane, the construction company will be very grateful); places for advertising (from the wall of announcements at the institute or banners on websites to billboards) ; their own knowledge on any topic (by conducting paid seminars); books (many people do not want to buy them, but read them with pleasure)
You can rent out everything (well, except your soul, probably), the main thing is to find someone to rent it out to.
Yes, anything - clothes, strollers, cars, pots, spoons, tables, telephones, gardening tools, etc.
From my own practice, I rented furniture and a safe separately for the office. I rent out a fax machine to one client. Neighbors rent out their dacha for the whole summer. A friend rents a dental chair in the appropriate clinic. The situation there is this: all the proceeds go to you, but for the opportunity to work in someone else’s clinic on someone else’s equipment you need to pay 90 thousand rubles per month.
We (Smart Telephony company) rent out the services of an expensive and powerful corporate-class PBX. The service is called Virtual Office. Many enterprises (for example, start-ups) do not have sufficient financial resources for acquisition and subsequent maintenance corporate mini-PBX. And by taking advantage of our offer, for a small monthly subscription fee you have good call center. And it doesn’t matter that it is not owned, but rented, because no one except you and me knows about this, right?
Equipment, cars, commercial and consumer equipment, a safe deposit box in a bank, a vegetable garden, a field, a bathhouse. This is perhaps the most profitable thing I know.
As far as I remember, back in the 80s they used to rent out a lot of things, and we didn’t even mind using these services ourselves. We rented a piano, and they also provided refrigerators, washing machines, even vacuum cleaners. There’s probably no such thing now, but I think if there was, there would be a demand for it.

The funniest moment in my life regarding rent was when I read something like this in the newspaper:
I am renting a dog. Nickname Yuzya. 5 years old. He is a good watchman, kind, faithful, devoted. For a period of time: 3 weeks. And a number was given.
At first I thought it was someone’s joke. But I decided to call and find out, and it turned out that it was true.
Well, you can probably rent out a lot of things :).
your body (prostitution). They also rent out a pump for pumping up the car. You can rent out a car, a warehouse, land, a garden, gas generators, airplanes, helicopters, etc.
Wedding paraphernalia (dresses, jewelry, suits, cars, fur coats) are in great demand; everything is expensive to purchase, and why do you need it in the future? Now it’s summer, many people spend time by the river, you can rent out barbecues, fishing rods and everything else for relaxation. And knowledge is also in high demand.
My friend is studying construction work, he has an emergency, he often rents out his workers to other facilities when they offer good money. And the workers earn extra money, and he doesn’t forget about his family, in the end everyone is happy.
In our water park we will rent slippers, hats, swimming trunks and swimsuits,since it turned out that some companies make a very spontaneous decision in visiting our establishment, funny but true. There is a river next to us, so the business accompanying our general location is the rental of boats with various fillings, such as a boat with sleeping bags, a boat with fishing equipment and a boat with a barbecue and disposable dishes, although the neighbors complain that the contents constantly need to be updated or washed, since people are having a blast, even the deposit price does not help, but romantics want everything, especially in the competitive state that is inherent in couples in companies, so to speak, who will outdo whom. Obviously, you can rent out everything in this life, tents, tables, chairs and dishes for weddings and anniversary celebrations, people who will serve these events, uniforms for waiters, participants in sports competitions, posters with inscriptions for processions and parades, flags and attributes for processions based on interests, in general the market is very vast, the main thing is the goal and imagination, which will be in demand by humanity.
You can rent out any property: both your own and rented from others (with the consent of the lessor).
It’s easy to rent out a car (I’ll tell you it’s a very profitable business), a garage, a boat, a motor boat or a regular boat, if you have one. You can also rent a mountain bike, climbing equipment, various belay ropes for steeplejacking, tents for camping. Yes, in principle, there is a lot more if you want. I rent out my cat when the neighbor's cats and their owners need offspring. I also rented out a wedding dress.

“You don’t need a thing, but only its function”
How to Save and Earn Tens of Thousands by Renting and Renting Anything
The world is gripped by consumerism. However, everything more people comes to the realization that it is not things that are important, but only their functions Pete Maclaine/ZUMAPRESS.com/Global Look Press
The sharing economy, built on the principles of sharing things, is spreading faster and faster. People started sharing apartments (Airbnb), cars (Uber), and now you can rent anything on the Internet. On the one hand, this helps to save money, because why buy expensive things if you can only buy them for a few hours or days? On the other hand, this new opportunity Earn: If you have any useful item, you can turn it into an asset by renting it to other people and getting benefits. In this material, prepared with the support of the OneTwoRent portal, we tell you how the service for renting everything in the world works. To do this, we will answer several key questions.
Why rent something if you can buy it?
One of the founders of the international rental website OneTwoRent, Alexey Nikonov, explains that often people do not need the thing itself, but the function that the thing performs. “What we need is not a drill, but a hole in the wall, not a car, but the ability to get to certain time to a certain place. You can get a function by renting an item rather than buying it,” says Nikonov.
According to the businessman, there is no point in spending your whole life on endless work in order to constantly buy things, because you can refuse unreasonable purchases and fly off on a trip with the saved money and get the most important thing - knowledge and impressions.
Today, the idea of sharing is very popular in the world, based on environmental friendliness, savings and ergonomics. People try to make their consumption of things conscious, so they start using some things together.
What can you rent?
All! On the OneTwoRent website you can rent a car (and even a motorhome), construction tools, a game console, a camera, a printer, clothes, textbooks, a parking space, a bicycle and a catamaran.

OneTwoRent has things you probably never thought about renting. For example, if you wish, you can rent an oar for 50 rubles a day, a cow for 2000 rubles an hour, and for 100 rubles a day you can put a figurine of a happy Chukchi in your office. In the product description, its owner writes: “Chukchi with happy karma. What if someone needs a little fortune? I feel calmer with him. I don’t know how it will be for you...”
How to rent an item you like?
In the catalog of products presented on the website otr24.com, choose the one you like. It is better if you find several similar products at once so that you can choose. There are two ways to contact landlords: call the phone number indicated in the ad or start a chat on the website.
When you have discussed all the details with the owner of the item, you only need to conclude an agreement where all the details will be spelled out and take the item for yourself.
Is it possible to make money by renting out your belongings?
Businessman Alexey Nikonov is confident that annually you can earn an average of 45 thousand rubles by renting out your expensive items. And if you don’t buy things yourself, but also rent them, you can save another 30 thousand a year.
Earnings could be higher. For example, if you have a game console and a lot of video games, then you can rent them for 10 thousand rubles per month. But you can also rent joysticks, virtual reality glasses and other attributes, which will increase your income.

It is very profitable to rent sports equipment: bicycles, snowboards, skis, skates, as well as tourist equipment: inflatable boats, catamarans, tents. For renting out such things you can get from 200 thousand to 5000 thousand rubles per day.
There's probably a dusty suitcase full of tools in your closet. Rent them out! Jigsaws, drills, hammer drills, screwdrivers, and wire cutters can bring you up to 500 rubles a day.
How is the OneTwoRent portal different from other rental sites?
Firstly, you can already rent and rent out things on OneTwoRent in 44 cities of Russia. The creators of the project have ambitious plans and say that in the near future OneTwoRent will become the only international service in the world that people from all over the world can use. There are similar services in Europe, the USA and Australia, but they are local (so far, in addition to Russia, Kazakhstan is represented on the site). In addition, OneTwoRent brings together a variety of things on one site, from real estate to services, clothing and even construction equipment. Thirdly, OneTwoRent is a turnkey service that provides opportunities to promote your product on the portal, legal advice and a system for verifying counterparties, PR and advertising for the rental company brand and much more, said Alexey Nikonov.
