Marketplace, Kijiji and a notebook
Free and familiar, and where most first bookings come from. It works until two people want the same Saturday and the yes is in three different threads.
A spreadsheet or a shared calendar
Better for remembering who has what. It cannot stop a double booking, and renters still message you for every price and date.
Full rental management software
Built for shops with crews, trucks and warehouses: routing, staff scheduling, card processing and inventory tracking. Worth it at that size. Most plans are priced for it, and many ask you to build the site yourself.
