At RentMy, we believe in the power of sharing and community. Our platform not only helps people access items they need without the cost of ownership but also enables users to earn extra income by renting out their belongings. Here are some real-life success stories from our community members that highlight the benefits of renting out their items.

1. Emma's Extra Income from Baby Gear Rentals

Emma, a mother of two, found herself with a garage full of baby gear that her children had outgrown. From prams to high chairs, these items were still in great condition but were taking up space. She decided to list them on RentMy, and the response was overwhelming.

"I never imagined how many families would need baby gear for short periods, especially grandparents hosting their grandkids for a week or two," Emma shares. "Renting out these items not only helped other families but also provided a steady stream of income. The extra money helped us to go on a family holiday."

2. James' Tool Time Success

James, a DIY enthusiast, had accumulated a variety of tools over the years. While he used them frequently, many were left idle for months at a time. He saw an opportunity to put his tools to work and listed them on RentMy.

"Tools are expensive, and not everyone can afford to buy them for one-time projects," says James. "By renting out my tools, I’ve not only covered their purchase costs but also made a profit. Plus, I love knowing they are being used and appreciated rather than collecting dust in my shed."

3. Sarah's Event Equipment Rentals

Sarah runs a small event planning business and often had event equipment like tables, chairs, and decorations sitting unused between gigs. She decided to rent out her inventory on RentMy, which turned out to be a game-changer.

"The additional income from renting out my event equipment helped sustain my business during the off-season," Sarah explains. "It's also been great marketing for my event planning services, as many of my rental clients have become event planning clients."

4. Tom's Outdoor Adventure Gear

An avid adventurer, Tom owns a collection of outdoor gear, including kayaks, camping equipment, and bicycles. While he uses this gear regularly, he realised it could benefit others when he wasn't using it. Listing his items on RentMy was a natural choice.

"I've met so many people through renting out my gear," Tom says. "It's rewarding to see others enjoy the outdoors as much as I do. The extra cash has funded several of my own trips, and it's a great feeling knowing my gear is being used rather than sitting idle."

5. Lisa's Photography Equipment Rentals

Lisa, a professional photographer, had high-quality cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment that were not in use every day. She began renting them out on RentMy and quickly saw the benefits.

"Photography equipment is a significant investment," Lisa points out. "By renting out my cameras, I've been able to offset the cost of new purchases and keep my equipment up-to-date. It’s also helped aspiring photographers who can’t afford to buy professional gear outright."
