About Point of Rental...
At Point of Rental, we value thinkers and tinkerers, helpers and sellers, and people who just plain
make it fun to come in to work each day. We’re an international company, with offices in the United
States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, but we’re run like a family business – the meetings are
few, and the bonding opportunities are genuine. And though we’re in an industry based on the
concept of taking items only as long as you need them before returning them, we’re fiercely
committed to our people. We work with every member of our staff to help them become the
developer/salesperson/trainer/wizard they always wanted to be. Bring us your best. We’ll make
your best better.
