When Sally Met Will

Sally - a Manningtree based RentMy user - and her family thoroughly enjoyed their weekend rental of Will’s Radio Controlled Sailing Boat. As something they had never done before and without the stress of maintenance, renting it through RentMy.com was the perfect solution. Sally explained that “renting the remote controlled boat for the day was great fun for my little boy. It’s something we wouldn’t want to buy, partly because we wouldn’t know how to take care of it properly.” However, by renting it, they were able to spend a sunny Sunday down in Dedham Mill learning how to control the boat, whilst stopping passing dogs trying to chase it!


RentMy, the Airbnb for everything you own, is also contributing to a greener focus for consumers by growing the sharing economy. It gives users the chance to try before they buy, enabling them to decide if buying something is right for them: therefore reducing the waste created by one-time use. It also provides an alternative access to items that you ordinarily would only use a handful of times a year. Need a gazebo for that summer party? Why buy one, struggle to store it, have to maintain it and only use it twice a year, when you can rent one for a fraction of the cost. With RentMy you can contribute to a greener climate by sharing your items and renting from others.

There’s also a huge community benefit from the website. Covid19 has given lots of people a different focus in life: with many now giving more importance to family, community and caring for a greener future for all. RentMy is taking a lead in this by bringing these elements together. When collecting Will’s boat Sally expressed how nice it was to get Will’s input, “his guidance was brilliant. We will definitely do it again!” This gives a personal touch to the experience for all of RentMy’s users and redirects the focus to community, which after all is an essential part of being human.
