I search on the site and I didn't find anything for creating rental products.
Please add support for rental products in next release.

What kind of features would that entail? I think I would put a bunch of instructions on the product, checkout, and order complete pages, and have a tight control on the inventory. All of that is doable with Übercart.

I'm building site for a store, which gives Xbox, PS3 on rent.
How I can create a product which can only given for reant for a specific period for rent?

Is my idea is clear to you?

firstly, Congratulations on Ubercart 1.0 release coming soon.

Following the topic, I don't find any good open source solutions for rental services, yet! It will be great if Ubercart does it. my suggestions on rental products below:

1. customer can pick rental day range from Calendar with product availability and showing rental fee automaticaly.

2. there should be a deposit field. once customer rented the products, customer will be charged for both rental fee and deposit. Admin can refund the deposit via the same payment gateway when customer returned products.

3. Admin can adjust rental fees and from deposit for renewal or late return.
