Our Story

There was no market survey, no research, no business plan. Rent-A-Bit was programmed by the most basic chip of motivation—a need in the market place. It was in 1983 when founder Tom Lafree, who worked in computer sales & service, rented his personal computer to a customer for short term project—a notion simply unheard of at this early age in the PC industry.

Since that time, the business concept created that day has grown both in size and in the variety of its equipment offerings and services. As the name implies, Rent-A-Bit began and cut its teeth as a computer rental company. But within a few years the business expanded to include audio-visual and office equipment as well.

Today, Rent-A-Bit is powered by the service that accompanies the now established need. We revolve around the equipment we rent, but our business has always been the servicing, availability and support of that equipment. With three warehouses across the Midwest, Rent-A-Bit provides local delivery and technical services to several major cities, and has been privileged to service many Fortune 500 companies.

Despite the professional success and accomplishments we have enjoyed over the years, we still hold fast to the vision and business philosophy of our founding over 20 years ago—treat every customer like they are your only customer!
