Renting things, especially expensive ones, is a rather convenient service. Instead of paying a large sum for an item that will be needed for a short time, you can simply rent it and leave something as a deposit.
Rental points
Before renting an expensive item, you need to decide on the rental point. Each point has its own characteristics. Some people lease things only for a short period of time - 2-4 days. Other institutions can rent items for a long time, while the lease payment decreases with the increase in the term. In addition, the item may not be rented if you are registered in another region. But most of the points, in addition to the cost of the rental itself, also take as a pledge the full cost of the rented item.
In addition, there are also such institutions where fraudsters work. For example, you want to rent an expensive piece of jewelry for a fairly long time. The experts tell you that the piece is genuine and very expensive. Of course, you leave a certain amount or a thing equal in value as a pledge. When you come to return your money or things left as a pledge, this "office" and the trace is gone. Moreover, it turns out that you didn’t take a fake, which is worth a penny. Finding such scammers is quite difficult. Therefore, one should be extremely careful when choosing a rental point for expensive substances.
What things are rented
Now you can rent almost any thing. Jewelry and expensive wardrobe items are in the greatest demand. Indeed, why pay a huge sum for evening or wedding dresses when you can rent them for several times cheaper. After all, such things will come in handy only once in a lifetime, and then you will have to sell them.
Household appliances are also rented. Most often it is taken by those who come for a short time to another city. These items include televisions, irons, hair dryers. Expensive tools such as drills or hammer drills are also in demand. Let's say you started a renovation. It is not advisable to buy cheap tools, there are no funds for expensive ones. And the need for such tools will disappear immediately after the repair. Therefore, it is more profitable to contact the rental point of things.
Now everything is rented - from scales to cars. Some rentals provide exclusive animal rental services. True, this practice is not yet very common in Russia.
Cash collateral
The most common collateral is money. By choosing the item that you want to rent, you leave an amount equal to the cost of renting the item. In addition, you deposit the full cost of the leased item itself.
When renting an expensive item, as a rule, a contract is concluded. The contract specifies all the nuances of rental, including penalties. If you return the item not in the form in which you received it, then you are guaranteed fines.
Before renting a thing, you need to carefully examine it. In the inspection report, you will need to indicate all the roughness, chips and scratches that you find on the object. If you overlook it, the distributors, in pursuit of their own profit, will rip off a huge amount from you, such that it would be cheaper to buy a thing.
Other types of rental
Another common practice is document rental. As a rule, such a lease is short-term, since no one wants to remain without any document for a long time. Such a rental differs from a cash one in that instead of a deposit, you leave a passport, driver's license or other important document. But the cost of rental will still have to be paid in money.
It is still not a very common type of rental - renting a thing on the security of an item of equal or greater value. For example, if at the moment you need an iron, and you are the happy owner of a hair dryer you do not need yet, the price of which is higher, then some rental points will gladly give it to you. Again, the rent will have to be paid.
You can also leave jewelry, fur products, expensive outfits, household appliances and much more as a pledge.
