In the long run, buying things is much more profitable than renting them. But if there is no other option, or if you want to try things out before you buy them, there are many services that make this possible. You can rent not only wedding dresses, elegant suits or bicycles, but also the most unexpected things.
Wedding cake
Wedding cakes can cost a hundred or even a thousand dollars. For those with limited funds, there is a special website. He creates stunning tiered cakes out of styrofoam, and covers the top with fondant to make it look like a real dessert. They even make a small slit in the cake where they place a real edible piece – now you can ceremonially cut it and share it with your spouse, as well as take colorful wedding photos.
Coffin
The casket is considered the most expensive expense item when planning a funeral. You can learn more about this in the Rubik’s material. To save your budget there are casket rentals. The deceased is carried to the grave in a rented casket and then buried in a simple wooden one. Renting, however, is also not cheap – about $1,000, while prices for a coffin can be as high as $10,000.
Tires and rims
Driving on bald tires is very dangerous, so if you do not have the opportunity to replace them as soon as possible, it is worth using a rental. Of course, in the long run it will cost you more than buying new tires, but if you rent, you will get them right away and you won’t risk your safety. The most appropriate service for this is Rent A Wheel.
Solar Panels
If you want to convert solar energy into electricity, but don’t have the money to buy and install solar panels, contact a rental service. Employees will bring and install the panels for free (or for a token amount), and you will pay for the use of panels or every month, or sign a special contract. It obliges you to give unclaimed energy to the company, and in return pay only for the one you consume, but at a price much lower than the utilities require.
Chickens
Thinking about setting up a backyard chicken coop, but afraid you can’t handle it? You can try your hand with Rent the Chicken, a company that will bring you everything you need for a chicken coop (including its occupants). If you enjoy raising chickens, you can keep them. If not, they’ll take it back at the end of the lease.
Goats
Goats are a great and cheap substitute for lawn mowers. Plus, they help control pests like ivy and thistle. You don’t have to get your own personal goat – you can rent one.
Suitcases, tents, and sleeping bags.
After traveling, a mountain of tents, sleeping bags, and bulky suitcases pile up in the garage. To avoid this, rent everything you need before your trip – you’ll get your order in no time, so you’ll have time to pack.
Designer clothes
There are plenty of services that will rent you beautiful and very expensive designer outfits for going out. Rent the Runway and Style Lend are just one of these. If you just need an accessory, like a bag or a hat, check out Bag Borrow or Steal or Village Luxe.
Your Neighbor’s Garage
To avoid piling up a mountain of stuff in your home, you can rent a garage nearby. Search StoreWithMe and Store at My House to find places to rent out garages, barns, and basements.
Planting beds for crops.
Not having a yard to garden in shouldn’t stop you from gardening. There are always public places where you can rent a small plot of land. Some of them ask for a nominal fee, while others are free at all, in return requiring only to help as much as you can in the development of other people’s gardens.
Plants
You can rent bouquets or whole flower arrangements, as well as full-sized trees (you never know). The 800 Plant It service is most often used for weddings and other holiday events.
Jewelry
Almost all Hollywood stars use such rentals. On the Adorn and Haute Vault sites you can rent diamonds, expensive wristwatches and more. Rentals won’t exceed a couple hundred dollars.
Sports equipment
Taking up a new sport? Rent all the gear you need until you’re very sure you’ll continue to play the sport. Rentals are also great for kids who quickly outgrow their hobbies and the ski poles and snowboards end up in the garage. Play It Again Sports offers its services across the U.S.
