The place to rent anything - blog
Vanessa is a rentoid member whose used the site a few times. last night she rented my old Toshiba laptop. I asked her if she’d say a few words to the camera about her rentoid experience. Lucky for us Vanessa agreed to do it totally improv at my doorstep. This was when she came to pick up the laptop, which is really cool.
Thanks for sharing the love Vanessa.
You probably haven’t ever emailed the rentoid team because we actually have our personal phone numbers for people to call us when needed. But if you did, you’d get a pretty honest and friendly message. The YC Hacker News crew agree with our sentiments as can be seen below. Cheers, rentoid team.
Renault has wowed the crowd at the Fankfurt International Motor Show with 4 new uber futurist electric cars. All of which they claim to be in production by 2012. We can only hope to see them on rentoid.com. If they become available here in Australia I’ll be the first person to buy one… and of course I’ll list it on rentoid for rent. Maybe our friends a flexicar will embrace them too….
The sooner the world works out we don’t need to own cars, but share them, the better off we’ll all be. Have you thought about renting your spare car on rentoid? It’s a $10,000 plus idle asset 90% of its life. ….
There’s some nice pics below and you can read the full story here.
