    One of my clients need to develop an ecommerce solution for renting out products.

    Renters/Lesse will register, add products , edit products, etc.
    1) I need to know like is there any module for renting out products with buy option too.
    2) Can I put completely cusomised designs in magento frontend, like while registering in the top user adds personal info and below using jqueris adding items dynamically, uploading images, etc.

    Just want to know is it possible in magento.

    I am attaching the registration screen of a renter/lesse who is going to add the products to rent etc. All the screens are of this structure and has different shipping rules etc.

    Interesting concept, you should check the Magento Connect marketplace for extension you've described. I'm not aware of any renting/leasing extension available for Magento. You'll have to either custom make it or get it made.

    It is possible to do with magento but it may require a lot of custom code and magento may not be a good choice considering how many features of magento you will use and how much reasources magento requirest to run. It is also harder for developers to work with magento compared to other platforms like wordpress or something similar which will add costs for you if you are not going to write code yourself.

    A quick search for a magento plugin comes up with nothing with several others who are also looking for something similar but not finding anything.

    Searching on wordpress plugins for example gives a lot of results but maybe nothing which will work for you: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/rental (you could also try searching other relevant terms of course)

    You may have to look at developing the script yourself or hiring a developer. A quick google search brings up some custom php scripts which you could base your concept on: https://www.google.se/search?q=renting+items+script+php

    Hope that helps a little :)

    We have also developed a rental booking system that is Magento based here: rentalbookingsoftware.com it goes by the name of "Sales Igniter." Our rental booking system would allow you to make product categories which you would probably set to cities or counties where the rentals are located.

    Our rental solution has been available for 5 years, but a year ago we ported it over to Magento.

    Now are you trying to also allow owners of properties to list on your site? This could be handled either 2 ways. One is to enter in the properties for them in the backend. Second is to give them a magento admin login that only allows adding products (this would not be a good idea for security though). The best to to use a "rental portal" feature meaning have us or your magento developer program in a way for customers to signup and add listings from the customer side website. We are actually already developing this solution for 2 different clients.
