Rent A Party

What Rent A Party does

Rent A Party (legally RAP verhuur bv) is a Belgian party and event equipment rental company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Bilzen-Hoeselt, Limburg. It rents tents (standard, pagoda, and stretch/Bohemian tents), furniture (tables, chairs, bar stools, standing tables), tableware (porcelain, glassware, cutlery, linens, stretch covers, napkins), buffet and kitchen equipment, lighting, heating, cooling, decorations, bounce castles, and party games to event organizers, individual consumers hosting private celebrations, and hospitality businesses operating seasonal outdoor venues.

The underlying technology is a third-party e-commerce rental storefront powered by Rentpro software, offering 24/7 online catalog browsing and ordering alongside appointment-based warehouse self-pickup and regional delivery across Limburg (including Genk, Lanaken, Hasselt, Diepenbeek, Houthalen, and Tongeren). The product catalog is broad across 20+ categories, with stretch tents differentiated by being available in multiple sizes and couplable for larger events, and Veldeman-brand pagoda tents offered via a channel partnership.

The revenue model is direct-to-consumer equipment rental on a pay-as-you-go basis, with per-item pricing on 1-day or 5-day rental tiers (e.g., €6.00 for 5 days for a folding table; €8.00/day for a stretch cover; €25.00/day for a giant Connect Four), prices quoted excluding BTW/VAT, and textile cleaning/maintenance bundled into the rental fee. Marketing runs primarily through organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn under rentapartylimburg), the e-commerce site, and word-of-mouth. The business is owner-operated with no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and a headcount of 1–10.
