Not all rental items are created equal. Some sit idle for weeks, while others get booked within hours. Here are the most profitable categories to rent out on LocaYo in 2026.
1. Power Tools — The King of Rentals
Power tools are the #1 most rented category on LocaYo. Why? Because most people need a drill or sander for one weekend project, not forever.
- Rotary hammer drill — €15-25/day, rented 3-4× per month
- Pressure washer — €20-35/day, seasonal peak in spring/summer
- Circular saw — €12-20/day
- Tile cutter — €15-30/day, huge demand during renovation season
2. Garden Equipment — Seasonal Gold
Lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers have intense seasonal demand. A quality ride-on mower can earn €200-400/month during spring and summer.
3. Event & Party Equipment
Projectors, PA systems, party tents, and bounce castles. Weekend-only demand means high daily rates with minimal wear.
4. Camera & Video Gear
DSLR cameras, drones, gimbals, and lighting kits. Content creators pay premium prices for professional equipment they can't justify buying.
5. Sports & Outdoor Gear
Kayaks, paddleboards, ski equipment, mountain bikes. Location-dependent but incredibly profitable near tourist areas.
