The 15 Best Things to Rent Out for Extra Money
If you're searching for a new way to make money, the answer might already be in your garage. People near you constantly need items for a day or a weekend and would rather rent than buy. Here are the best things to rent out for extra cash.
High-demand items to rent out
- Power tools — drills, saws, sanders
- Pressure washers — huge spring and summer demand
- Lawn mowers and yard equipment
- Generators — outages, events, job sites
- Camping gear — tents, bags, stoves
- Kayaks and paddleboards
- Bounce houses — premium party rates
- Party tents, tables, and chairs
- Projectors and screens
- Drones and camera gear
- PA systems and DJ equipment
- Trucks, vans, and trailers
- Carpet cleaners
- Portable AC units
- Bikes and snowboards
Why this works
Each of these is expensive enough that people prefer to rent, and idle enough in your home that renting costs you nothing. List once, get paid repeatedly.
Getting started
Pick something you already own, list it on Renting Hive with a few photos and a daily price, and connect your bank. Renters nearby book and pay through the platform, then meet you locally. Start with one item and grow from there.
