Discover what everyone’s renting this summer—with zero commitment

Looking to make the most of your summer without spending a fortune on stuff you’ll only use once or twice? Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, hosting a backyard party, or just tackling a few projects around the house; renting can save you money, space, and stress.

Why renting is the smart move


Save money — Only pay for what you actually use

Try before you buy — Experience items before committing to a purchase

Get better quality — Access pro-grade equipment anytime

Reduce waste — Renting is more sustainable than buying single-use tools

The top items you should try this summer

Let’s be real—summer’s expensive enough. Between trips, backyard parties, and weekend projects, it’s tempting to buy a bunch of stuff you’ll use maybe twice before it collects dust. That’s why smart people are turning to rentals.

Here are the top summer items to rent in 2025 (and why renting beats buying every time):

1. Kayaks, Paddleboards & Adventure Gear

Headed to the lake or beach? Rent inflatable paddleboards, tandem kayaks, or even rooftop tents for the weekend. They pack small, perform great, and cost way less than buying your own.

2. Party & Event Essentials

Friends at a party

Graduation bash? Backyard wedding? Rent tents, tables, chairs, lighting, Bluetooth speakers, even margarita machines or silent disco headphones. Host like a pro without a storage headache after.

3. Cameras and Drones

Want to capture every epic summer moment? Rent a GoPro or drone for your next adventure. You’ll get pro-level footage without the price tag of owning one.

4. Electric and Garden Tools

No need to buy that pressure washer or hedge trimmer you’ll use once or twice. Rent high-quality tools and get your lawn looking sharp, fast.

5. Outdoor Movie Equipment
