Our mission

We exist to keep you powered

Rapid started with a simple frustration: phones die at the worst moments, and buying yet another power bank isn't the answer. We built a network of partner hubs where you rent power by the hour — only when you actually need it.

No subscriptions. No clutter. Just tap, charge, and return. Simple, convenient, and priced by the hour.

Our mission

Make power as accessible as Wi-Fi — available everywhere, billed by the moment, with zero friction between you and a full battery.

How we keep it secure

Every rental is verified at return. A refundable security hold protects against loss, and units are inspected between uses so the next renter gets reliable, safe hardware.

What we stand for

Built around three ideas

Simplicity

Scan, charge, return. The whole experience takes seconds, not minutes.

Convenience

Hubs where you already go — cafés, transit, libraries. Power on your route.

Hourly pricing

Pay for the time you use. Transparent, fair, and never wasteful.

Why Rapid

The best power bank rental, by a mile

Most rental services make you download an app, bring your own cable, or lock into a subscription. Rapid doesn't.

Every cable built in

Each unit has a Lightning (iPhone), USB-C, and Micro USB cable attached. Charge any device on the spot — no adapters to buy and no cables to forget, like other rentals expect you to carry.

Pay by the hour, not the month

Competitors lock you into subscriptions or monthly memberships. Rapid charges a flat $2.99/hour with no commitment — you only pay for the minutes you actually use.

Return at any hub

Pick up at one location and drop off at another across the network. Other services force you back to the exact kiosk you started at — Rapid gives you the freedom to return wherever your day ends.

22-second tap-to-power

No app download and no account setup at the kiosk. Pay at the card reader, grab a bank, and you're charging in seconds — the fastest rental flow in the industry, by a wide margin.

Real fast-charging capacity

6,000–8,000 mAh with up to 22.5W Power Delivery — enough for 2 full phone charges. Some rentals hand you a weak 5,000 mAh brick; Rapid never skimps on the battery you actually need.
