FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Don’t let that Prada handbag, your camera and
the rollerblades you never use gather dust in your closet. Put them to
work on the rental market.

A growing breed of online marketplaces offering to rent everything
from baby prams to bulldozers have seen a boom in business as the
credit crunch bites from consumers and companies discovering the
rental market can save and make you money.

Online rental marketplaces provide an Internet platform for
individuals and hire companies to rent out their wares — like a
rental version of eBay.
