Top Small Business Rental Management Software

#1 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - HireHop equipment rental software has literally outperformed all the rest in our testing and analysis, and by a long way, and every time we frequently revisit it, the gap gets even greater with even more features.
It is now by far the best software on the market, with more functionality and features than any of the others. It is very easy to use, packed full of unique features and is surprisingly a lot faster than all of the others. Their support is also the best we came across as they all seemed eager and happy to help.
HireHop is also completely customisable (you can literally add your own buttons, screens, functionality etc.) which is a must for larger companies who have their own nuances, and those customisations can be done by HireHop or any web designer, something no other software offers.
HireHop also has the most powerful document engine we have ever seen, enabling you to produce amazing looking PDF documents like invoices and quotes that make you look professional, instead of standard and boring templates.
This rental business software is a big wakeup call to the others, not surprising as we have seen many well established and larger companies migrating from their old software to HireHop, as well as smaller companies, not just due to its price, but also due to its power and ease of use. They also the only ones to offer a free version for small micro companies.

#2 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - HireTrack NX is another old legacy Windows based rental inventory management system designed for the event market. It contains many features that a typical rental company in the event sector needs for it's day-to-day operations. It is has some nice simple features, however it lacks the functionality of many of the other systems and seems like it is at it's end of life.

#3 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - Flex is another cloud based solution, however it requires the now obsolete Flash to be installed, so it causes problems for devices like iPads or iPhones, and as Chrome and many other browsers do not support Flash, we had to grade this accordingly. Flex have been promising an HTML5 version for many years now (since 2018), however other HTML5 apps are already available, meaning Flex will always be playing catch-up.
Flex have released Flex5, their HTML5 version that works without the now obsolete Flash, however it is incomplete and not very functional, thus Flex5 didn't make this list, as to do some things, you have to go back and use the Flash version.

#4 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - Rentman is a cloud based system that looks nice, has a few good features, however it lacks many of the features that all the other Rental Management Software have as it seems it was built for small mobile disco companies. It too is relatively new, but is very expensive for what it is compared to what others have on offer, as better software than this is far cheaper and far better. We also felt it was too incomplete and geared towards the micro company mobile DJ market.

#5 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - EZ Rent Out is a cloud based system that has a few good features like being able to build a website from within the system and has a pleasing look and feel to it. However it is quite basic and lacks many of the features that all the other Rental Management Software have. It has different prices for different versions, however the cheaper version is quite limited in functionality.

#6 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - Current is another cloud based system that looks very slick and pretty, however it lacks most of the features that all the other Rental Management Software packages have and was not as intuitive and easy to use. It has added a few new features over the years, but not at the pace of some of the others, so it is falling further behind. It is quite reasonably priced, and we feel is suited for small one man operations.

#7 of Best Rental Management Software in 2024 - Insphire have released their cloud Rental Management Software called OnRent to compete with other cloud products. Upon testing we saw it didn't do much, has hardly any features, only has online support and is very expensive for what little it has to offer. You also have to pay extra to have customisable documents, something every other cloud offering includes for free, and ontop of that you have to pay OnRent to a large fee to make them. The only reason anybody would pay for this or use it over the others, is that they don't know about the other cloud offerings, many of which are far supperior and far cheaper. As it is new, maybe it will get better, however it has been in development for years, thus they are far behind others.
