Difference between hire and rent in british and american english

Answered by admin @



 I used to teach was the verb, hire, should be used for things which are transportable hence, you hire a car, sports equipment, a boat, a bike etc.
Rent, on the other hand, is primarily used for property, e.g. to rent a holiday residence; office space for rent, and We're living in rented accommodation.
