I am no longer renting fractional instruments.
I have a few better fractional cellos for sale and quite a few violins in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, & 3/4. Some fractional violas too. These are well cared for, previously rented instrument outfits that are very reasonably priced. If you do the math you will find it is much more cost effective to buy and re-sell, or trade in than to rent.

Each instrument goes out of the shop adjusted to perfection. My rental instruments are much better than what you will find elsewhere.
- All of the setup is done by me, including pegs, bridge, sound post, fingerboard planing, nut adjustment, tailpiece, etc.
