That seems to be the nearly unanimous choice. Thanks!
The Photo Center in Brick NJ Rents everything and has Lay away plans also.

Thanks! This appears to be the second most popular choice!
I had a bad experience with Lens Rental a few years ago to the point that I have been hesitant to rent again. I will never know who made the mistake, if they did or the post office did but what I do know is that I sent an Olympus 12-40 f2.8 Pro along with a EVF-4 to them as was stated in the instructions. To my surprise they emailed me requesting the EVF. I had no way to explain why the EVF was never found. I know I packed everything and I took the package personally to a FedEx office in Sedona where it was processed in front of me.
They handled the case very professionally. I felt miserably because I could not find a reasonable explanation of how the EVF was lost. As I said, I packed everything carefully and I personally delivered the package to FedEx.
Apart from this unfortunate incident their service was excellent with excellent customer service. Highly recommended.
I'm in Dallas, TX and just use a local store: Competitive Cameras. I've bought both my most recent cameras and lenses from them, and when I needed another for a trip (for a 2nd camera) I rented one from them. I've not done on-line purchases or rentals.
I am renting two cameras and lenses from lensrentals.com right now. I wanted to get a feel for the D500 and 200-500 lens for bird photography. I also wanted to try out the Nikon Z50 with the 16-50 lens. Their service is impeccable. Everything arrived on time and was packed very well in a hard plastic case inside a shipping box. I plan to use them enough this year that I paid $100 for shipping for the whole year.

RentGlass has always done fine by me. They ship all over, but since I’m local, I pick up from the office.

Thanks.

Lensrentals.com and Borrowlenses.com. Both have a good reputation. Also, Keh, Adorama, and B&H rent if I am correct.

Lensrental.com. First class people and service.
What Mike said. Very reasonable easy to work with.
I bought a used Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens from borrowlenses.com, 2 or 3 years ago. I'm pleased with it. It works like new.
