I've only rented a bike once for a day only. I don't know what I paid. The experience went well. The bike was a current model Trek so I got to check out what a modern (non-C&V like my collection) bike. Everything worked perfectly, no issues. The only thing that I missed from my personal bikes was fenders. It rained. If I was there longer, I might have explored other options, but for one day, the easiest thing to do was to rent.
For a longer term use, I would consider getting a Walmart bike if a one speed cruiser is acceptable. If you need gears, I don't know if these bikes are ok. Seth at Burm Peak had good luck with a Kent mountain bike, but this was a more expensive bike that is not available at all locations.
