There are a lot of different things during your life that you’ll find yourself in need of just a couple of times. Maybe you need a special tool during renovation work on your house, maybe you need an outfit for a once in a lifetime wedding or prom or perhaps you want some high-end audio equipment for a party. If you were to buy all of these things, you’d find yourself with less money and less space in your home, which is why increasing numbers of people are turning to renting things that they only use occasionally.
Renting isn’t just good for your wallet, it’s also environmentally friendly, since the more people use an item, the less that item has to be manufactured, so the carbon footprint is significantly lower. The companies that loan these items out also maintain and repair them, so something like a table saw will last longer by passing through many homes than if it simply sits in your garage and gathers dust.
Clothing is another upcoming area of rental that more people are turning to. For a formal event, renting a suit or a dress, or an elegant necklace costs a fraction of the price of buying, and offers you the chance to stay in style every season, since fashion changes so quickly.
Many people living in big cities don’t own vehicles, and instead rely on public transport, but a car can be easily rented for the moments that a vehicle is necessary. No need to worry about car insurance, finding a permanent parking spot, paying for important repairs, since the car is always in good condition and the burden of it’s upkeep is taken on by the rental company. One of the best companies online for rentals is erento, if you’re interested, you can hire by erento here: http://www.erento.co.uk
So before you buy something, ask yourself how long you’ll need it and if you can rent it for less money and more convenience for you.

This makes so much sense to rent things instead of buying them! We sometimes use items a few times a year or maybe less than that and why not rent the item! So much cheaper! I rent items all the time!
