The 13 tools, reviewed
#1 Booqable
Rental inventory, bookings and website for many industries · Netherlands · booqable.com
booking website all rental types published pricing
Booqable is the product to start with when the shop is small and the stock is varied. Its pages list rental periods and pricing rules, quotes, invoices, contracts with e-signatures, barcode scanning, a mobile point of sale and a no-code booking website, all in one account.
- Pricing: Tiered monthly. Three published tiers (Start, Grow, Scale) with an entry of 29 per month on yearly billing; unlimited inventory and orders, no commission on bookings. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Small rental shops of any type
- Strengths: Website builder; Quotes and invoices; Rental contracts with e-signatures.
Where it falls short
Booqable positions itself across bike, party, car, boat and tool rentals, so the depth for one niche is thinner than in a specialist. Its pricing page lists extra users and add-ons such as the website builder at an added monthly cost, which raises the real bill.
Wrong for
A heavy equipment yard that needs work orders, telematics and cycle billing should look at EZRentOut, Quipli or Point of Rental, and an AV house that books crew should look at Rentman.

#2 EZRentOut
Equipment rental with orders, maintenance and billing · United States · ezrentout.com
equipment yards published pricing QuickBooks
EZRentOut targets companies that rent machines rather than party goods. The product pages list order management, maintenance, equipment tracking, a rental webstore, a mobile app for the yard, B2B customer hierarchies and billing. Integrations named include QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Avalara, Stripe and several GPS providers such as Samsara and John Deere. Premium adds sub-renting, work orders and long-term rentals with cycle billing.
- Pricing: Tiered monthly. Growth is 399 dollars per month and Premium 499 dollars per month, billed annually; Enterprise is custom. All tiers list unlimited inventory and orders. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Tool and equipment rental yards
- Strengths: Orders management; Maintenance management; Equipment tracking.
Where it falls short
The entry price of 399 dollars a month is well above the booking engines, and QuickBooks, work orders and sub-renting only arrive on the 499 dollar Premium tier.
Wrong for
A one-person bike, boat or party rental should pick Booqable or HireHop's free plan, and an event company that books crew with its gear will find Rentman or Current RMS closer.

#3 Current RMS
Rental management for AV, production and event hire · United Kingdom · current-rms.com
AV and events per-user pricing labor scheduling
Current RMS is built for the part of rental where an order mixes gear, crew and trucks. Its pages describe a single calendar for people, vehicles, rooms and locations, branded online proposals, barcode and flight case handling in the warehouse, and testing and maintenance records.
- Pricing: Per user / month. First user from 73 euros per month and each additional user from 52 euros, with the same pattern in dollars, pounds, Australian dollars and rand. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: AV and event hire companies
- Strengths: Inventory management; Labor and transport scheduling; Proposals, orders and invoices.
Where it falls short
Per-user pricing grows with every office and warehouse hand who needs a login, so a team of twelve pays 645 euros a month at the listed rates.
Wrong for
A concrete or crane yard that needs GPS data and cycle billing should compare EZRentOut and Quipli, and a solo operator should check HireHop's free plan first.

#4 Point of Rental
Full-service rental software since 1983 · United States · point-of-rental.com
established vendor self-hosting option multi-location
Point of Rental is one of the long-running names in the field. Its site describes Elite for equipment, event, general and specialty shops of all sizes, in cloud-hosted and self-hosted forms, and Essentials as a cloud-native product for the basics. Around them sit a mobile app, an ecommerce layer, the Record360 inspection app and an analytics suite.
- Pricing: Quote only. No prices published. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Established multi-branch rental shops
- Strengths: Elite edition; Essentials edition; Mobile app.
Where it falls short
No price appears on the website, so a buyer cannot compare it with others before talking to sales. The pricing page explains why, citing differing needs, which is true but leaves a small shop guessing.
Wrong for
A start-up with a few items that wants to test a system today should try Booqable or HireHop, and a buyer who wants published pricing should look at EZRentOut or Quipli.
Visit Point of Rental →
#5 HireHop
Cloud rental management with a free entry plan · United Kingdom · hirehop.com
free plan multi-depot open API
HireHop is the lowest-risk way to try a real rental system. The Starter plan is free for one user and covers quotes, bookings, customers and basic stock control, so a new shop can run live orders before paying.
- Pricing: Per user / month. Starter is free for one user. Free plan: free plan.
- Best for: Cost-conscious hire companies
- Strengths: Quotes and bookings; Customer management; Stock control.
Where it falls short
The free tier is limited by its own description, and the per-user price adds up for a large warehouse team.
Wrong for
A rental business that mainly sells to consumers online should compare Booqable or HQRent, and a multi-site enterprise with a finance team should look at Point of Rental or Wynne Systems.

#6 Rentman
Equipment, crew and project planning for events · Netherlands · rentman.io
AV and events crew scheduling modular pricing
Rentman treats a rental order as a production: gear, crew and costs sit in one project. The pricing page splits the product into a platform plus inventory, crew and organize add-ons, so a company pays for the modules it uses. It lists quoting and invoicing, equipment tracking, history logs, subrental handling, and links to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe and Zapier.
- Pricing: Per user / month. Platform from 39 euros per month, with inventory add-on at 14 euros (Standard) or 19 euros (Pro) per power user per month. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: AV and event production companies
- Strengths: Inventory management; Crew scheduling; Project management.
Where it falls short
Because it is modular, the total depends on how many add-ons and power users are bought, and the pricing page does not give one simple figure for a team.
Wrong for
A construction or tool rental firm should look at EZRentOut or Quipli, and a shop that wants a public booking website for consumers should look at Booqable.
Visit Rentman →
#7 Quipli
Equipment rental with dispatch, service and storefront · United States · quipli.com
per-location pricing dispatch unlimited users
Quipli is a fit for an independent yard that wants one system for the counter, the driver and the shop floor. Its Core plan lists booking, inventory, orders and checkout, service and repair dispatch, an online storefront and customer portal, invoicing, QuickBooks sync, GPS tracking and ID verification, with unlimited users, onboarding and support seven days a week included.
- Pricing: Per location / year. Core is 6,000 dollars per year per location with unlimited users; Plus, with AI agents, is 10,000 dollars per year per location. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Independent construction and tool yards
- Strengths: Inventory management; Booking and scheduling; Orders and checkout.
Where it falls short
Yearly pricing per location means a cash commitment starting at 6,000 dollars, which is high for a small shop. The AI features sit on the more expensive tier, and SmartEquip is listed as coming in 2027.
Wrong for
A party, bike or boat rental business with low volume should choose Booqable, Rentrax or HireHop, and an event company with crew needs should use Rentman or Current RMS.
Visit Quipli →
#8 Flex Rental Solutions
Event rental management with crewing and logistics · United States · flexrentalsolutions.com
unlimited users event logistics RFID tracking
Flex describes itself plainly: it is for companies with ambitions of growth, not for the smallest shops.
- Pricing: Flat monthly. Plans from 510 dollars per month with unlimited users and free support; a 30-day free trial is offered. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Growing event and production rental companies
- Strengths: Inventory tagging and tracking; Pick lists and pull sheets; Quotes and proposals.
Where it falls short
At 510 dollars a month it costs more than most tools here, and the site itself says it may not suit a one or two person operation, a budget under 300 dollars a month or a first year in business.
Wrong for
A small shop with one or two staff should choose HireHop, Booqable or Goodshuffle Pro Lite, and a heavy equipment yard should compare EZRentOut and Point of Rental.
Visit Flex Rental Solutions →
#9 Goodshuffle Pro
Party and event rental business software · United States · pro.goodshuffle.com
party rentals delivery routing low entry price
Goodshuffle Pro fits the shop that rents tables, tents, linens and decor and wants one place for quotes, signed contracts and payment. Its pricing page lists unlimited projects, quotes, contracts and inventory items in every plan, conflict detection against double bookings, and a free trial of 7 days.
- Pricing: Tiered monthly. Lite is 39 dollars per month. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Party and tent rental companies
- Strengths: Real-time inventory tracking; Conflict detection; Barcoding.
Where it falls short
Lite includes a single account owner, so a second person needs a higher tier or paid seat. Its pages are written for event businesses, and prices are given in US dollars only.
Wrong for
A construction or industrial equipment yard should look at EZRentOut or Quipli, and a company that needs AV crew booking should compare Rentman and Current RMS.

#10 HQRent
Booking, contracts and website for trailer and dumpster rental · United States · hqrent.com
trailers and dumpsters online checkout digital inspections
HQRent is a narrow tool for operators of trailers, dumpsters and small equipment who take most bookings online. Its feature list covers online checkout, fleet management, digital rental contracts, digital inspections, claims management, a customer CRM and a professional website, and Growth includes a custom website.
- Pricing: Tiered monthly. Essentials 169 dollars, Growth 199 dollars and Scale 399 dollars per month, plus a 200 dollar one-time setup. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Trailer and dumpster rental operators
- Strengths: Online checkout; Fleet management; Digital rental contracts.
Where it falls short
The payment processing rate of 4.4 percent on the entry plan is a real cost for a busy shop. Essentials covers one user and one location. The setup fee is 200 dollars on top.
Wrong for
A shop that wants to keep its own merchant account and low fees should compare Booqable or HireHop, and a heavy fleet with maintenance work should look at EZRentOut.
Visit HQRent →
#11 Rentrax
Rental and tour software priced by volume · Canada · rentrax.com
usage-based seasonal rentals tours
Rentrax is built for recreational operators such as bike, snow, water sports and party rental, and extends to equipment and construction rentals on its industry list. The pricing page says the system applies the lowest plan based on actual usage: Starter covers up to 10,000 dollars of monthly revenue and 30 transactions for 29 dollars, with 0.80 dollars per extra transaction, while Premium has no revenue limit and 3,000 transactions for 999 dollars.
- Pricing: Usage-based. Starter 29 dollars, Growth 169, Advanced 449 and Premium 999 per month per location, each with included transactions and a fee per extra transaction. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Seasonal rental and tour operators
- Strengths: Booking and checkout; E-waivers; Inventory.
Where it falls short
Per-transaction fees make the bill hard to predict in a busy season, and the larger plans climb quickly. Pricing is per location or activity. The pages show a demo request rather than a trial.
Wrong for
A yard with long-term machine rentals and maintenance should look at EZRentOut or Point of Rental, and an AV firm that needs crew scheduling should choose Rentman.
Visit Rentrax →
#12 TWICE Commerce
Rental, resale and subscription commerce platform · Finland · twicecommerce.com
rental and resale all features included Finland
TWICE suits a retailer that wants to rent and sell the same product, such as outdoor gear or consumer goods, rather than a classic equipment yard.
- Pricing: Per location / month. From 99 euros per month for one location after a first-location discount (199 euros list). Free plan: none.
- Best for: Retailers adding rental to sales
- Strengths: Inventory and catalog; Online store; Orders and customers.
Where it falls short
It is a commerce platform first, so contract, deposit and maintenance features for heavy equipment are not what its pages stress. Prices are set in euros, and guided onboarding and support are paid extras.
Wrong for
A tool or machine rental yard should look at EZRentOut, Quipli or Point of Rental, and an AV house that needs crew booking should look at Rentman.
Visit TWICE Commerce →
#13 Wynne Systems
Enterprise rental ERP for equipment fleets · United States · wynnesystems.com
enterprise heavy equipment modular suite
Wynne Systems occupies the top end of the market. Its homepage calls the offer end-to-end equipment rental software for enterprise companies, and the suite includes RentalMan, RenterLink eCommerce, MobileLink for mobile work, a customer portal, a reporting tool, RapidCount for inventory counts, and logistics and service solutions.
- Pricing: Quote only. No prices published; solutions are sold on request through a sales call. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Large heavy equipment rental fleets
- Strengths: RentalMan; RenterLink eCommerce; MobileLink.
Where it falls short
The site lists no price and no small-business plan, and its language is aimed at large companies, so a small shop will find the module list heavy.
Wrong for
A shop with one or two locations and a handful of staff should choose a lighter tool such as Booqable, HireHop or EZRentOut that publishes a price.

Questions and answers
What is the best equipment rental software in 2026?
Booqable ranks first of 13, best for small rental shops of any type. EZRentOut is second (tool and equipment rental yards) and Current RMS third (aV and event hire companies). Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands, wherever the category has them.
How much does equipment rental software cost for a small shop?
Published entry prices range widely. HireHop has a free plan for one user, Booqable starts at 29 per month on yearly billing, Rentrax at 29 dollars, Goodshuffle Pro Lite at 39 dollars, and Rentman at 39 euros for its platform.
Do I need rental software, or is general inventory software enough?
Inventory software counts what you own; rental software tracks when each item is out. The difference shows up in date-based availability, rates per day or week, deposits, damage and late fees, and a contract tied to each order.
Which software suits AV, production and event hire?
Rentman, Current RMS, HireHop, Flex and Goodshuffle Pro are all built around events. Rentman adds crew scheduling and project management, Current RMS schedules labor and transport on one calendar, and Flex lists crewing, RFID tracking and trucking manifests.
Which software suits construction and heavy equipment rental?
EZRentOut and Quipli are the lighter options. EZRentOut lists work orders, sub-renting, long-term rentals with cycle billing and GPS integrations on its higher tiers, and Quipli lists dispatch, service and repair, damage waiver insurance and license scanning.
Is there free equipment rental software?
Only one product in this list has a free plan: HireHop's Starter, which covers one user, quotes and bookings, customer management and basic stock control, and is marked as limited.
How does the software prevent double bookings?
It checks the requested dates against every confirmed order for the same item before it accepts a new one. Goodshuffle Pro lists conflict detection, and Booqable lists real-time stock updates with buffer time between rentals.
Can customers book and pay online?
Several products include a storefront. Booqable offers a website builder and a ready-made booking page, EZRentOut a rental webstore, Quipli an online storefront and customer portal, HQRent online checkout and a custom website, and TWICE an online store.
What do payment processing fees add to the price?
They can exceed the subscription for a busy shop.
Does rental software connect to accounting?
Most list at least one link. EZRentOut names QuickBooks, Xero and Sage, Rentman names QuickBooks Online and Xero, Current RMS has Xero and QuickBooks integrations, Quipli syncs with QuickBooks, and Flex lists a QuickBooks integration.
When does an enterprise rental system make sense?
It makes sense once you run many branches, a large fleet, and a finance function that needs rental, service and parts in one ledger.
