Answer 1

Favorite Answer

If someone asks you "where are you going," they mean to what place, such as Cuba, or Jamaica. "I have a boat rental" means the means by which you are going. It would be more idiomatic, however, to say, "I have rented a boat," in answer to the question, "how are you going."

Answer 2

I'm going to rent a boat. 

Simple! Don't overcomplicate things!!

Answer 3

You could say, I placed a reservation for a boat rental, is this where I’d pick it up ? Or , I made a reservation for a boat rental . Or,  Is this where you pick up a boat that I’ve reserved with a reservation? You wouldn’t want to say, I’m having a boat rental . Although they would understand what you want , it’s not the proper way to say this. If you have anymore questions like this feel free to email me . [e-mail]

Answer 4

You say:  "I'm renting a boat" or "I'm going to rent a boat."

"Having a boat rental" sounds like you're trying to rent the boat to someone else,  and even then no one would say it like that.

Answer 5

neither sound natural

Answer 6

I might say: "I'm going to pick up the boat which I have hired. I'm having a day at sea". Neither of your ideas feels natural to me in Britain.

Note that I am British, so I would 'hire' a car or a boat.   Americans 'rent' cars and, presumably, boats.

In Britain only apartments and houses and other forms of building are 'rented'.

Answer 7

i think either one is okay

Answer 8

I rented a boat and I'm going boating.
