RentKit

What RentKit is

RentKit is event rental software for companies managing equipment, bookings, invoices, and deliveries. Its inventory availability accounts for the full rental period, turnaround time, and bundle components, helping teams coordinate what can be rented and when. Customers can book through an embeddable catalog with live availability, delivery fees, discount codes, and blackout dates. The system also supports quote building, rental contracts, and delivery scheduling.

For delivery work, RentKit plans routes around time windows, truck capacity, driver assignments, route groups, and split stops, with live GPS tracking. Native iOS and Android apps support order preparation, route execution, photos, signatures, time tracking, and payment on delivery. Payment options include deposits, payment links, and field card readers, alongside real-time QuickBooks sync for Online and Desktop. Website connections include WordPress, Shopify, and an embed script for HTML sites. RentKit serves tent, party, and event rental businesses handling items such as tables, inflatables, trailers, AV, and heavy equipment. The full RentKit plan is $99 per month and includes two users; payment processing fees are charged per transaction.

Who it suits

RentKit suits tent, party, and event rental companies that need to coordinate inventory, customer bookings, delivery routes, and mobile crews. It can also fit businesses using QuickBooks Online or Desktop and managing equipment ranging from tables and inflatables to AV and heavy equipment.

Verdict

Choose RentKit if your rental business needs inventory planning, online bookings, route coordination, and mobile tools for crews.
