The place to rent anything - blog
We’ve all got so much stuff, and George Carlin was a man ahead of his time. If only we had rentoid.com back then, he could’ve put his stuff to good use on rentoid - or better yet, not had to buy so much stuff, and rent it instead.
This piece below is hilarious, but oh so true.
With love from Rentoid - aiming for a world with less stuff 
What we believe in at rentoid - we aim to update this as new ideas enter our head and we evolve. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
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.
I stumbled upon this great documentary about ‘Consumption’ and how this is really causing some problems in the world.. The whole thing goes for about 20 minutes. But I’ve just put part 1 below as a start for you - and the youtube link below it where you can watch the entire series.
This is what rentoid.com is all about - enabling us to maximise the world limited resources without adversely affecting lifestyle and creating a positive ecological change to human behaviour. Renting is such a simple solution. How many cars, ladders, nintendo wii’s does the world really need?
Big ups to the peeps from ‘the story about stuff’ - Keep up the great work.
The story of stuff introduction
Their youtube page is here for more videos.
Last week Monique Conheady gave a great talk at the Melbourne Entrepreneurial event the Hive. Monique is the founder and CEO of super Groovy Business Flexicar.
Firstly - we’d like to say how awesome we think Flexicar is and really think you should all check it out. A great idea with super eco credentials which encourages people to share cars and provide an infrastructure to do this.
Secondly - Monique had some cool ideas on what being green in business is all about, which we loved so much at rentoid we thought we’d share right here:
Green Washing: Companies who offset the bad stuff they do for the environment, buy paying to offset their actions, in carbon credit or by other means.
Light Green: Businesses which have a semi green angle to what they do, and use it for marketing purposes.
Bright Green: Startups and new businesses which are a paradigm shift in consumer behaviour and move humans along the sustainability scale.
Monique’s business is clearly bright green. we’d like to think rentoid is too.
