Rentoco（レントコ） is a Japanese home appliance rental website operated by Stream Co., Ltd. and provided by EC Current. It mainly offers rentals of home appliances, digital devices, travel goods, and more for both individuals and businesses. It also has a secondhand purchase section called “ちゅうとこ.” The site clearly requires member registration, though users with an Amazon account can skip part of the registration process.
The platform covers living appliances, kitchen appliances, seasonal appliances, cameras, computers, projectors, audio equipment, beauty and health products, DIY tools, overseas travel goods, and more. Its brand lineup includes Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Dyson, Apple, Canon, and others. For fulfillment, products are delivered by courier, with delivery time-slot selection supported. According to the FAQ, shipments are sent via Sagawa Express, while returns can be made using the included Yamato Transport or Sagawa Express waybill; large items may be limited to Sagawa. Monthly flat-rate rentals are divided into “with installation” and “without installation,” with processes such as installation schedule confirmation, contact from the installer on the previous day, and return schedule adjustment.
Fees are determined by the product and rental period. Prices are shown after selecting the rental duration on the product page, with examples including 7 nights/8 days, 14 nights/15 days, and 30 nights/31 days. The FAQ states that the minimum rental period is 3 nights/4 days. Shipping and return shipping are free. Payment supports credit cards and Amazon Pay, but monthly flat-rate rentals are limited to credit cards, and some products do not support Amazon Pay. If the item is not handed over to the delivery company by the return deadline, a late fee of 10% of the product price is charged per day. No refund is given for early returns.
The advantages are its wide range of categories, suitability for trying expensive appliances, comprehensive search by use case, brand, and category, and free round-trip shipping, which lowers the cost of trial and error. For breakdowns under normal use, customers do not need to bear the cost, and replacement or cancellation can be arranged. The downsides are that orders cannot be canceled once confirmed, rental periods cannot be extended, there are no physical stores, and customers cannot view the actual product before renting or pick it up in person. Delivery is also unavailable to Okinawa and remote islands, and late fees are relatively high. In addition, the site’s news section shows an October 31, 2025 notice titled “レンタルサービス終了のお知らせ,” so service continuity should be checked against official announcements.
It is suitable for users in Japan who need short-term home appliance trials, moving or solo-living setups, seasonal appliances, event and travel equipment, as well as businesses considering rental inquiries. The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so the status is unknown.
