How it works

It takes about 30 seconds.

1

Find a station

Look for a Rentacharger station in bars, cafés, gyms, events and more.

2

Tap your card

Press Start Rental on the screen, then tap your card or phone on the card reader. No app, no account.

3

Charge on the go

A charged power bank pops out straight away. It has built-in cables for iPhone and Android, so you can take it with you.

4

Return anywhere

Slot it back into any Rentacharger station when you're done.

Simple pricing

You only pay for the time you use it, and you'll never pay more than £5 for a rental.

Temporary hold

£10 held
  • Taken when you start the rental
  • Released when you return it
  • Your rental fee comes out of it
  • Not an extra charge

Keeping it

£30 after 48 hours
  • Only if it isn't returned
  • You have a full 48 hours
  • The power bank is then yours

The £10 hold is a temporary block on your card, not a payment. When you return the power bank the hold is released and you're only charged for the time you used.

Keep your customers in, not heading home

When someone's phone dies, they usually go home. With a free Rentacharger station, they can charge up and keep enjoying your venue, and keep spending there too. We install it and look after it, so there's nothing for your team to do.

Questions

Which phones does it work with?

Every power bank has built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, so it works with iPhone and Android phones, earbuds and most other small devices.

Do I need to download an app?

No. There's no app and no account. Just tap your contactless card on the station and a charger pops out.

Can I return it to a different station?

Yes. You can return it to any Rentacharger station.

My phone is completely dead. Can I still rent one?

Yes. That's exactly what it's for. You pay by tapping your contactless card, so you don't need your phone at all.

How much does it cost?

£1.50 per hour, and never more than £5 for a single rental.

What is the £10 hold?

When you start a rental, your bank places a temporary £10 hold on your card. It isn't a payment. When you return the power bank the hold is released, and you're charged only for the hours you used.

How long can I keep it?

You have 48 hours to return it to any Rentacharger station. If you decide to keep it, a £30 non-return fee is charged after 48 hours and the power bank is yours.
