Charlie Anderson, former owner and founder of Andergauge Drilling Systems knows a little something about renting. Since 1986 Anderguage has been known as an oil and gas industry leader in renting inventive, productive and extremely reliable drilling tools. Charlie sold his rental business in 2005 after renting more than 400 million worth of oil tools around the world.

Since the sale of Anderguage Charlie has embarked on a mission to provide rental solutions to anyone who needs them. The internet seemed like the best way to reach millions of people and connect them with the rentals they need. “I wanted to find a way to help provide rental solutions for the man in the street and big business. I thought at the same time we would promote the value of renting as opposed to over consuming unnecessarily.” 

With so many general search engines on the internet today, niche search engines are providing better and more specific information to those who need it. Given that the North American rental market is a 39 billion dollar industry, Charlie felt it was large enough to support a niche search engine. His vision was a rental search engine that would provide reliable and accurate search results, making it easier for people, businesses and rental companies to connect with one another.

Charlie’s brainchild would soon become rentcharlie.com (http://www.rentcharlie.com) – a search engine dedicated solely to the rental industry. Rentcharlie.com would allow anyone to locate a specific rental item, from a rental store, property manager or individual in their neighborhood based on a simple keyword search.

In June of 2009 rentcharlie.com went live and a next generation rental tool was made available to the general public. Involvement from some of the biggest names in the rental industry like Home Depot, United Rentals, Budget Rent-A-Car and The Cat Rental Store along with 1000’s of other rental companies, property managers and individuals have helped make rentcharlie.com the premier destination for rental seekers and the largest rental search engine in North America with over 1,000,000 rental products. Listing rentals on rentcharlie.com is 100% Free, making it the only rental search engine to provide Free on-line advertising. Finding rentals has never been easier. Everything from hand tools and heavy equipment to wedding, party and property rentals can be found on rentcharlie
