What Are Automated Cold Rentals—and Why Are They Profitable?

Some rental businesses are now running what’s called “cold rentals”—fully self-service rentals where no staff is needed to hand out or receive items.

This can be done through:

• Smart lockers with access codes
• Automated locks controlled by QR codes or mobile apps
• API-connected systems that link bookings to real-world access

The result?

Fewer employee hours, lower costs, and scalable operations—especially for categories like utility trailers or sports gear.

TWICE powers cold rental setups through our API-first platform, and partners like Click&Share make the hardware + access control layer seamless.

It’s smart, scalable, and already delivering results.
