General Service FAQs

RentAGun.com is a nationwide firearm rental platform that lets you try guns before you buy them, rent for hunting trips, or explore firearms without committing to ownership.

Choose a gun from our online catalog, select your rental duration, and pick it up at a licensed FFL dealer near you. After use, return the firearm via the prepaid shipping label provided.

Renting lets you test multiple guns before purchasing, save money on occasional use, and avoid the long-term costs of ownership, storage, and maintenance.

Any law-abiding citizen 21 years or older with a valid ID and clean background check.

Renters who are 18 years of age or older and can provide proof of active military status are eligible to rent long guns. Handguns are not available for rent under this exception. 

*Restrictions may apply in some areas

Compliance & Safety

While firearm rentals are legal nationwide, certain states impose restrictions that unfortunately prevent us from offering our services there. To see which specific restrictions apply to your location, please refer to our Terms of Use page.

All rentals are conducted as FFL-to-FFL transfers in full compliance with federal and state laws. We are committed to maintaining strict adherence to all applicable regulations in every state where we operate.

Every rental requires a standard NICS background check at pickup, just like purchasing a firearm.

No. Federal law prohibits taking rented firearms across state lines without the owning FFL’s written permission. Rentals remain FFL property; unauthorized transport is an illegal interstate transfer.

You are responsible for any damage, theft, or loss of the firearm, up to its full retail value. To reduce your risk, we offer optional insurance at a rate of $1 per $100 of the firearm’s retail value (rounded up to the nearest dollar).

We offer handguns, rifles, shotguns, AR-style rifles, lever actions, and more—covering everything from concealed carry pistols to long-range hunting rifles.
