Easy rentals with easy Rentle

Reviewed on 2021/08/11

Product suggestions - cross-selling our different products and services is the best in class.

Pros

Ease of use. You don't need days of training to teach new rental shop crew to start working with the system.

Cons

Integrations to our existing systems. Always room for improvement.

Response from Rentle

Thank you for the feedback! We are always trying to aim higher and provide more value for our customers!

Pros

Pricing model works very well for me, as I am a startup. The transaction based pricing will go up as my business grows, which is fine for me.

Cons

Translation to German is sometimes a bit "rough", but team at Rentle is open for suggestions.

Alternatives Considered

Booqable

Reasons for Switching to Rentle

I had a look at several other companies, and have also started a trial with booqable. I like the interface from Rentle better, Rentle seems to better cover my core needs, and as I am a startup currently the transaction based pricing model of Rentle is better for me.

Response from Rentle

Thank you for your feedback Thomas!

Small footprint rental software

Reviewed on 2020/07/20

Allows me to manage my equipment and prevents that I rent products that are already rented to others or reserved for tours.

Pros

Creation of products and sets is very easy. Nice usability and low maintenance necessary.

Cons

There is no detailed per-equipment availability overview. If a customer wants to rent a specific equipment and asks me "when is it available", I do not have an easy way to find out. Integration with Wordpress not that optimal yet.

Response from Rentle

Thank you Iwan for your review! We are happy that you find our product to be easily used.

A visual per-equipment availability overview is in development and it is planned to be available in the near future.

Our rental workflow in two rental stations got digitized with Rentle with an ease and we could speed up our turn over time in instore rentals although our staff is not too much into computers!

Pros

- easy integration in our daily workflow- easy shop integration in existing website- quick and efficient handling of in store rentals

Cons

Nothing to complain about the operation and integration!

Very active development, which has both pros and cons

Reviewed on 2022/07/15

When I started my rental business there wasn't really any alternative to Rentle but as I started using them, I realized that it was exactly what I was looking for - a turn-key solution to start renting out equipment, without any up-front costs and quick to get started with.

Although there were a couple of features I would like to have it did all I needed it to, and during the time I've used Rentle most of these features have been added. Customer service is great to work with and if they can settle on a pricing model there's very little I can complain about.

Pros

The developers are very active and listen closely to their customers, and they implement and improve features constantly. The integration with either WordPress or a simple, static HTML is very straight forward.

Every time I've had a question or concern Rentle was quick to reply and always took my issue seriously. I've even had online meetings with representatives from Rentle where I could elaborate on my issue or idea in more detail.

Implementing credit card payment was a little bit finicky initially but once I got it set up it's working without issues.

The service/software is very flexible, and you can customize it quite a lot to suit your needs. Initially there were a couple of features I needed but over the 12-18 months I've been using the software Rentle has added a lot of these features.

Cons

At times it feels like the developers are adding and changing too much which makes it difficult to keep up with new features and functionality, both for me as an admin and for my customers. This also results in a somewhat messy and inconsistent admin interface.

Some settings are under Settings, others under Account, and some have their own item in the menu. When the inventory functionality was redone a link to Inventory was added in the Availability settings for a product with the text "Connect this product to inventory" but when clicking that link, I just get sent to the inventory management screen.

There is other minor stuff like this that all add up making it at times pretty frustrating and confusing to use the admin interface.

Pricing is also something I'm not especially pleased with as they've changed that three times during my 12-18 months of using the software. The current model is a fixed price per month which has a bigger impact on me as a small business than the previous model that charged a fee per booking.

Rentle the near perfect rental tool

Pros

With a great user interface, which matches our expectations and standards as a business. Rich in features simple to use. Great customer support. Always willing to listen to feedback and improve.

Cons

It doesn't offer built-in integration for follow-up emails please leave us a review etc. Which for us is essential and I am sure many others.

Response from Rentle

Thank you James for the feedback and happy to hear you have enjoyed Rentle. We are working to enable the possibility to create custom transactional emails. Meanwhile you are able to create such follow-up emails with the help of our webhooks.

Get up and running quickly

Reviewed on 2022/10/28

Pros

Rentle has a really well thought out suite of features at a competitive price

Cons

For large orgs that want to make rental management as frictionless as possible Rentle is excellent but for smaller orgs who are very hands on with every rental they may find Rentle's lack of moderation features (i.e. the ability to manually confirm rentals after staff review rather than have them automated) hard to work with.

Response from Rentle

Many thank you for your feedback, Roland!
We are happy to let you know, that we are already working on introducing more flexibility to the booking and checkout process in the near future. Please stay tuned!

Pros

Easy to manage if all rentals are done with Rentle. Customer support has been excellent.

Cons

If some rentals are for some reason done outside Rentle, it is not easy to manage those without making the reservation with Rentle (and paying the comission). Location management / shared products could be better.

It is a pleasant experience. I was integrating it into my website and had a very good customer support experience. The lite (free) version has a lot of features for my small company. I'd definitely purchase the core as i scale up.

Pros

The product setup. I have used other tools and plugins that are quite complicated to begin with. Rentle is very simple to setup and use.
The customer support provided by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was awesome as well.

Cons

Well, I think they could allow for flexibility in designing the user interface, especially for those of us who'd like to integrate into our websites.

Superb online booking capabilities.
Cloud based operations, works in any device that have web browser.
Really good customer service.
