    Rentoid Wants To Be The Place For Renting Anything

    Rentoid offers an eBay style variety of items, but with one distinct difference: the items are only available for rent. The Melbourne, Australia based startup launched in beta last year and has slowly been growing its user base as it adds features and signs distribution agreements. Items for rent can be searched by type of item and location, and social tagging by members in encouraged. Content comes from its user base and through agreements with rental companies; in Australia Rentoid has agreements with national rental providers including Coates, Kennards, and Radio Rentals. Current rental listings on the site include private jets, Islands, Dogs, rubix cube, ladders, Ferraris, high end handbags, and more regular fare. Rentoid currently has members in the United States, India, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the UK (as well as its native Australia), and the platform supports dollars and pounds. Zilok is a similar service we’ve covered before. CrunchBase Information Rentoid Zilok Information provided by CrunchBase → Read More
