Fat Llama is a unique site where you can rent things that you temporarily need, rather than spend more money buying them, to sit in a cupboard forever. Search for what you want, where you want it and the dates you want it for.
Renters just list the item, and search requests, then agree to exchange, and then the money is securely exchanged. Obviously follow common sense safety advice, and let people know where you are going, and to meet whom.
Renters are covered for accidental damage and accidental loss.
This site has already rented out a million items in 7 countries, proving there is a huge market. Most things work out at around 60% cheaper than buying, and of course you are reducing world waste!
Here is a list of the top items rented out in 2024:
- Camera equipment
- Portable speakers
- Hammer drills
- Boat trailers
- Ski clothing
- Bouncy castles
- Pressure washers
- Folding chairs
RentRooster is a similar site, where you can rent anything from bikes to holiday homes, and from musical instruments to sports equipment. Again it puts full caveats in place to ensure safety and security.
