Beyond PS5: The Full Range of What You Can Actually Rent from RentSmart
Most people know RentSmart for PS5 rental, but our catalog covers gaming, Apple devices, home appliances, and adventure gear. Here's a practical breakdown of what's available in each category and when renting makes sense for it.
By RentSmart Team
Most people find us looking for a PS5, but that's really just one category we cover. Here's an honest walkthrough of the rest of the catalog and when each category actually makes sense to rent instead of buy.
Gaming — PS5, PSVR2, racing wheel setups
Beyond the console itself, we rent PlayStation VR2 (₹499/day) for anyone curious about VR without spending ₹45,000+ on the headset, and full racing wheel + PS5 combos for sim-racing enthusiasts. This category makes the most financial sense for occasional or seasonal gamers rather than daily players.
Apple devices — iPad & Pencil, Apple Watch
The iPad + Apple Pencil combo (₹299/day) gets rented mostly by students during exam season for note-taking, and by freelance designers for short client projects. Apple Watch rental is less common but useful for testing the ecosystem, or as a backup during travel.
Home appliances — Smart TV, Air Purifier, Home Theater
These tend to get rented for specific situations rather than long stretches: a Smart TV for a temporary stay or PG accommodation, an air purifier during Delhi's winter smog months, or a home theater setup for a one-off house party. None of these are things most people want to own for occasional use.
Lifestyle gear — GoPro, drone, ergonomic chair
GoPro and drone rentals cluster around specific events — weddings, treks, travel content — where you need professional-grade footage for a few days, not ongoing ownership. The ergonomic chair, interestingly, gets rented mostly by people testing whether a premium chair actually solves a back-pain problem before committing ₹20,000+ to buy one.
Adventure equipment — trekking and winter gear
This is the category where rental logic is strongest: sleeping bags rated for -10°C, waterproof boots, trekking poles, and ice cleats are things most people in Delhi genuinely need only a handful of days a year, for a Himalayan trip or winter trek. Buying gear that sits unused 350+ days a year rarely makes sense.
How delivery works across categories:
Same-day delivery applies across Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad for in-stock items ordered before 6 PM. Adventure gear occasionally needs a day's notice depending on the specific item and season (e.g., sleeping bags during peak trekking months).
