Why did we create Rentalic Inc.

Some time last year, our founder was faced with a common problem that many people in our society face. He was re-doing his backyard and needed a wheelbarrow. Even though buying a wheelbarrow is not expensive, he did not want to own one because it takes up space to store it.

He knew that his neighbor has a wheelbarrow just sitting in their backyard, but felt bad borrowing it yet again for free as he has already borrowed it a few times. He started thinking: 'What if my neighbor rented it out for a small fee?, then I would not feel bad about borrowing it again, and the neighbor gets the added benefit of making some extra cash from an item that just sits in their back yard'.

After discussing this problem with a few friends, he figured out that the problem is very common in our society. It was time to come up with a solution to enable people to share and re-use items without having to feel bad about borrowing. This is how the idea for Rentalic was born!

Rentalic's philosophy of 'Rent · Share · Be Green' fosters reuse and sharing of goods & services. We enable communities to reduce the carbon footprint while enabling people to save money and make money.
