Rent a camping stove from a neighbor near you

A two-burner propane stove is the difference between camping food and real food, and it is used a weekend or two a year. Borrow one and bring your own fuel canister.

What it costs to rent a camping stove

Rental counters typically charge about $8 to $20 a day for a camping stove, plus a damage waiver and tax. On Rentsome, neighbors set their own daily rate, and it is usually lower because they are not running a store. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.

A new camping stove runs roughly $50 to $200. At about $14 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 9 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a camping stove: common questions

How does the security deposit work?

It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
