rental made easy!


Explanation:
I'm not sure whether this slogan should appeal to the people who are renting things, or to customers who are booking things, but this solution would work for both. "Easy" is definitely a strong selling point, whether this refers to easy-to-use software, easy rental management, or easy booking.

easy as pie


Explanation:
Since this is a marketing slogan, I'd use the colloquial form here: because it's as easy as pie.

This rental system is very easy, e. g. as easy as making a pie.
