rental

Paid temporary use

Rental refers to the act of renting or something available for rent.

A rental car, rental property, or rental agreement involves temporary use in exchange for payment.

As a noun, it can mean the amount paid (Monthly rentals start at $1,200) or the thing being rented (We picked up our rental at the airport).

The adjective describes anything connected to renting rather than owning.
