What One World Rental does

One World Rental is a private global provider of short-term IT and event technology rentals, founded in 2012 and headquartered in London with a parallel US headquarters in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey. The company rents laptops, tablets, desktops, mobile phones, AV equipment, LED walls, digital signage, payment terminals, printers, and accessories, complemented by event WiFi and satellite internet connectivity, on-site technical staffing, and custom event software (registration apps, check-in solutions, branded applications). Its underlying capability is a globally distributed logistics and deployment platform: 10 regional offices across six continents hold temperature-controlled inventory (7,200+ iPads, 11,000+ laptops) and dispatch pre-configured, custom-imaged devices to over 50 countries with as little as 24 hours notice.

The company operates a pure rental model priced per device per day/week/month, with long-term rates starting at $3/day for iPads and $4/day for laptops and short-term rates ranging $15-$40/day depending on model. Revenue streams are diversified across hardware rental, professional services (technical staffing), managed services (connectivity and network infrastructure), and custom software development. The customer base spans more than 4,000 corporate clients across sectors including technology (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon), financial services (HSBC, Square), energy (BP, Exxon Mobil), automotive (Ford), fashion (Dior), entertainment (IMG, Live Nation), healthcare (Lilly), and sovereign institutions (United Nations, NATO), with marquee relationships serving as the primary credentialing mechanism for new enterprise wins.

The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise sales delivered through dedicated account management, website quote requests, and direct phone/email engagement, supported by case studies and a downloadable catalogue. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or marketplace channels. Marketing relies on website content, Instagram presence, client testimonials, and thought leadership rather than paid acquisition. Pricing is quote-based for custom bundles, and the business model is asset-heavy: a single event often bundles devices, networking, software, and on-site staff into a single procurement, which raises average contract value and increases switching cost once a relationship is established.
