A year and a half ago, the website www.bidandborrow.com launched in the UK, where anyone could post advertisements for the rental of their own gadget, clothing, kitchen utensils and other household items, but rarely used. The resource quickly began to gain popularity. As it turns out, the average home in England had about 25 rarely used appliances: for example, a drill was used for only 8 to 14 minutes a year. Rental points were popular among Russians in Soviet times, when you could rent skis, a refrigerator with a TV, and even a porcelain set. In 1956, the first car rental service appeared in Moscow: the initiative belonged to Nikita Khrushchev, who was impressed by a similar service in the United States. With an increase in the range of goods, as well as rising incomes, the population had the opportunity to purchase previously unavailable things, but this could not kill the rental system. Today in Russia you still rent cars, skates and wedding dresses, but you can also rent something more exotic.

Rent a friend

In the summer of 2010, a service was launched in Moscow, which led some to bewilderment, while others even forced others to accuse it of immorality. We are talking about the “friend for rent” service, which came to Russia from abroad. In the West this is not surprising. In America, for example, it has long been possible to rent a wife, and in Japan you can have an entire family for a specified period of time. And if in the USA, when renting a spouse, the customer will have to provide financial guarantees and a number of medical certificates, then in Russia it is enough that the client’s age exceeds 18 years, he does not drink alcohol during the meeting, and also does not offer sex. As a rule, communication with a temporary friend takes place in a cafe. The service provides for an hourly payment, which ranges from 500 to 700 rubles. But besides this, you can order additional “options”, such as going shopping together, riding a bike, or even agreeing on friendly help when moving. However, they will have to be paid separately. By the way, communication can be made cheaper if desired, but then you will have to make it virtual.

Animal rental

Pet rental in Russia is still poorly developed. But things are different in the West. In America, the FlexPetz system has long been operating, offering hourly rental of dogs; in Japan, cats, ferrets and turtles are provided for temporary housing in city apartments, and in Switzerland you can even rent a cow. In Moscow, one of the first to decide to turn to foreign experience was the Zoozashchita-Plus charity foundation, which launched a dog rental service. The shelter was forced to take this step by the large number of stray dogs that regularly come to them. As a rule, those who want to adopt an animal for good come for puppies, but for adult dogs the chances of finding a home are much lower. Therefore, the shelter staff decided to offer older pets for a couple of days, at least three, so that during this time the family could decide whether to keep the animal or not. The service itself is free, you just need to sign an obligation to feed and walk the dog. You can also rent pigeons in the capital. Renting birds is in demand among newlyweds who like to release birds during the celebration. The price of the service ranges from 500 to 2000 rubles.

Renting a “living book”

A Muslim, a Buddhist, a truck driver, a former homeless person, an official - any of the representatives of various social groups and professions can be rented from the Living Library project. It works the same way as a regular one: the “reader” comes, fills out a card, selects a “book”, studies it, and then turns it in and leaves - or exchanges it for another one and continues reading. The only difference from a traditional library is that the books are real people, and instead of reading there is a conversation. The first “Living Library” opened in Denmark in 2000, and gradually the rental of “living books” spread throughout the world. As a rule, “living libraries” open for meetings of readers once every few months, but there are also those that operate regularly. In Moscow, the last meeting of readers with “living books” took place in November 2011. Participation in it was absolutely free, and there were no age restrictions for those who came. Thus, the youngest reader was only 10 years old, and the oldest was over eighty. The rental of “living books” causes mixed reviews, but the creators of the project aim to dispel stereotypes attributed to various social groups.

Carriage rental

Capital residents will not be surprised by the rental of luxury vehicles. Most often, Muscovites prefer limousines (and sometimes they take them not even for a special occasion, but for meeting and seeing off at the airport); rental of retro cars is also gaining popularity. But rented carriages on the road are still rare, although the number of companies offering such a service has recently increased. In the 18th-19th centuries, the carriage was not only the main means of transportation, but also a measure of social status and an indicator of the high wealth of its owner. Indeed, in addition to the vehicle itself, it was necessary to have your own coachman and several horses. Today, renting a carriage will also not be cheap. The most expensive rental is Glass Lando carriages. They are hand-assembled from precious wood at the European Manufactory, which has been making carriages for noble houses in Europe for more than 80 years, including the Royal Family of Great Britain. An hour of riding on it will cost 42 thousand rubles. But you can also find a more budget-friendly option: an hour-long rental of an open cabriolet will cost “only” 12 thousand rubles.

RV rental

According to the World Tourism Organization, one of the favorite types of automobile tourism in Europe and the United States is caravanning. About 17% of foreigners prefer traveling in motorhomes. In Germany alone in 2011, the number of tourists traveling in their own or rented caravan amounted to 5.5 million people. Russians are also beginning to take a closer look at caravanning, and in response to their interest, the number of companies renting out motorhomes is growing. For a motorhome equipped with gas heating, several sleeping places, a kitchen module with a stove and refrigerator, as well as a shower with a dry closet, you will have to pay from 3,500 to 7,800 rubles per day. As a rule, the minimum period for renting a camper is three days, but if the client decides to drive it for more than a week, the company will reduce the total cost by 10-15%. In addition to paying for the motorhome itself, the rental company will have to leave a deposit, which will be returned to the client at the end of his trip. Russians' interest in caravanning will be stimulated by the opening of new European-level campsites, the construction of which is already underway.

Luxury jewelry rental

Rental of jewelry and expensive costume jewelry is a service that is familiar to many in the West. Moreover, it is not low-income people who resort to it: renting a necklace or earrings worth several tens of carats is almost a mandatory procedure for many stars who need to appear on the red carpet. Thus, actress Sofia Vergara came to the recently held Golden Globe ceremony wearing jewelry worth $5 million, which became a kind of record. But even in Hollywood and the Cote d'Azur, wearing diamonds every day is considered bad manners. Another thing is luxury jewelry. Many designers are now focusing on producing stylish jewelry with semi-precious stones. In Moscow, as in many other world capitals, products that have become associated with the term costume jewelery and the cost of which reaches several thousand dollars can be rented. Typically, jewelry is rented for up to two days. The rental company enters into a bilateral agreement with the client, and an amount equal to the cost of the product is charged as a deposit; The distributor keeps a quarter of this money as a fee for use when the client returns the jewelry to him.

Tram rental

Today, renting a limousine or even a helicopter won’t surprise anyone, but the offer to rent a tram still sounds unusual. Nevertheless, such a service is already in demand in a number of both Russian and foreign cities. Today you can rent a tram in Nizhny Novgorod, Irkutsk, Rostov, Lvov and Riga. And Moscow was no exception to this list. You can get your hands on the legendary “Annushka” in the capital, which was first put into flight in 1911. Over the decades, its route has changed several times, and now “Annushka” has turned into a tavern on wheels that runs along the Boulevard Ring. You can ride a rented tram along one of two existing routes, or offer and agree on your own. Also, depending on the route, the duration of the trip will vary. The cost of renting “Annushka” is 5,000 rubles per hour, plus the same amount will have to be paid for delivering the tram to the specified location. By the way, you can try renting a regular tram. To do this, you should contact one of the capital's tram depots, for example, them. Bauman or im. Apakova.

Island rental

When going on vacation, you can rent an apartment, a villa, a yacht, or a whole piece of land in the ocean. You can find a secluded island resort in any region of the world: in the Seychelles, Fiji, the islands of Oceania, French Polynesia, British Columbia or the Great Barrier Reef. The rental period for a private island can be limited to just a weekend or extend over several weeks or even a month. The only thing is that it is better to arrange for renting an elite piece of sushi in advance. The number of private islands in the world is limited, and the most attractive offers are booked six months before the planned vacation date. Island rental prices range from high to exorbitant. So, as a “budget” option, you can go to Guana Island in the Caribbean. A week of stay there will cost $88,000. For this money, the client will have seven snow-white beaches and a house with 15 rooms at his disposal. Premium offers exceed $300,000 per week. One of the most expensive islands today is Musha Bay in the Bahamas. A week's stay in five luxury villas located on 60 hectares of land, surrounded on all sides by the ocean, will cost $330,000.

Pilgrim rental

An unusual rental service was invented by the Portuguese Carlos Gil. He decided to rent out... himself - as a pilgrim going to holy places. Carlos Gil calls himself “one who keeps promises,” and twice a year he walks from his native Carcais to the city of Fatima. According to legend, it was here on May 13, 1917 that the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children. At the site of her descent, a temple was built, which became a place of Christian pilgrimage. In Fatima, Carlos Gil voices the prayers and requests of his “customers”, and then returns back. The 160-kilometer journey takes the resourceful entrepreneur about two weeks, and from the cities where he stops, Gil sends postcards to his “clients.” By providing pilgrim services for hire, Carlos helps those who are weak and sick or simply do not have enough time to travel on foot to holy places. True, the cost of his help by Portuguese standards is not at all low and amounts to? 2500. But a believer from anywhere in the world can make a virtual pilgrimage with the assistance of Carlos Gila, because it is enough to pay for his service with a credit card.
