The other major one is Borrow Lenses. Not sure if one is better than the other, you might just check the two and sees which offers a better price. If you sign up for Borrow Lenses, they occasionally have deals, so if you are flexible on when you need it, you can often get some discount.

Actually, I think if someone refers you with “Lenrentals,” you both should get $25 off….

For fun, I tried to compare prices for Lens Rentals and Borrow Lenses (which I have used twice). Looks like the prices are essentially the same though Lens Rentals appears to charge for the shipping whereas Borrow Lenses provides free UPS shipping on rentals above $149? Also has 20% off for new customers. Not sure if insurance costs are the same. Of course, if one doesn't have what wants (ie. availability, etc), that would tip the equation.
PS. I have no connection to either company, and have contemplated using Lens Rentals since they seem to have more Olympus gear which I was interested in trying.

In addition to the internet sources, some markets will have a sizeable retailer who also rents gear. I know Hunt's does this in New England.

Most camera stores (at least in California) have much less gear to rent and charge a much higher rate. For example, my camera store charges more than twice what Borrow Lenses charges for a D500 per day. Plus they don't have a Z 100-400mm lens, which I was interested in trying.
