Rentoid Vision

leave a comment

While I was bored sitting on an airplane yesterday, I started to do some sketching. So I got thinking about what matters to me (The founder of rentoid.com) and why I’m doing this rentoid thing.

Below is some of the stuff that popped into me head. It’s how I feel, and I wear my heart on my sleeve, so here it is:

It's getting hot in here…

leave a comment

Nelly sang about it, and now Melbourne and most parts of Australia are experiencing it.

The weather is forecast to be like 40+ degrees c for the entire week. So if you’re feeling the heat then maybe you should check out the air conditioners we have for rent on rentoid like these.

If you’re lucky enough to have a pool or a cool house, it’s probably a good time to list that old school cooler to help out a fellow rentoid member.

Stay Cool, Steve.

These people want to give you money

one comment

Seriously, sounds dodgy, but it is simple items sitting on the rentoid wanted list right now! They include quite an amount of items which you might have sitting there.

Including but not limited to: A portable DVD player for $35 a week, A motorbike trailer for $80 a week, A treadmill for $80 a month, A backyard in Melbourne for $50 for one day, and an embroidery sewing machine for $30 a week.

Check out this list below:

What’s next?

If you have the item click on the list it button, and the person who wants it will be sent an email straight away telling them we’ve got it and… bang - Happy renting times.

We're not perfect

leave a comment

Here’s an email we received at rentoid from a business member.
To the Rentoid Team,

Could you pleaseĀ  remove our hire business and hire items from your website. Unfortunately this arrangement does not work for us at present. We a received a couple of requests over the holiday period which we could not fulfill. As these customers are not directed to our website they were not aware that we closed for 2 weeks. Our website stated this on the home page.

Kind Regards
(rentoid Business member)

Hi (member name),

Sorry we couldn’t help your business. We’ll remove your items from the website today.

We are still evolving and have generated a lot of business for other baby companies including (rentoid business member) and (rentoid business member). Hopefully we can help you at some time in the future and possibly, come up with systems which are more flexible and suit your needs. be sure to let us know if you have any ‘method ideas’ which could work for you.

Best,
Steve Sammartino - 0438 779566

We’re not perfect and neither is our system - what we can promise is to do the right thing and continually try and improve everything we do.

Obamania & hope.

leave a comment

We don’t need to say anything about the recent inauguration on the new US president Barrack Obama, as we are sure you’ve all seen it and heard it.

We will say this: He is a very inspiring person, and what that country needs right now is leadership which will regain the global respect it once had.

Good luck Obama, congratulations USA and we hope it is the start of a safe, and proposerous period for your country.

Yes we can !

Log in changes to rentoid

leave a comment

Thought we’d let you know we have changed the log in details on rentoid recently.

Now to log in your simply input your email address and password. If you have already become a rentoid member and created a rentoid username, fear not, your membership is still all good, although now just enter the email address which you have registered and your password. We did this to make the process a bit simpler, as it can be a real pain trying to remember all your usernames from various websites and accounts.

If you’ve forgotten your details you can just click on the link below:

It’s only a little car which wont have a huge range, but it will be fully electric. You can read more here.

What we like about it is that it’s the same philosophy as rentoid. We are all about finding a better way of doing things. Using technology to have a positive impact on peoples lives and the environment. Kudos Toyota.
