What RentKit is
RentKit is event rental software for managing inventory, invoicing, routes, mobile crews, and QuickBooks sync. Its inventory view accounts for the entire rental period, turnaround time, and bundle components. Customers can book through an embeddable catalog with live availability, delivery fees, discount codes, and blackout dates. For delivery operations, route planning covers time windows, truck capacity, driver assignments, route grouping, stop splitting, and live GPS tracking. Native iOS and Android apps support order preparation, route execution, photos, signatures, time clock, and payment on delivery. RentKit also supports deposits, payment links, and card readers in the field, with real-time QuickBooks sync for Online and Desktop. The audience includes tent, party, and event rental companies working with items such as tables, inflatables, trailers, AV, and heavy equipment. There is no free plan; the listed RentKit plan costs $99 a month and includes two users. Payment processing fees are billed separately per transaction, with rates depending on the processing option.
