Morphology

rental = rent (transparent) = rent + al

The form is transparently built from rent + -al, and the noun simply names something that can be rented.

Etymology

Rental comes from the word rent ('payment for use') with the ending -al, which can turn a word into the name of a thing. So, a rental is simply something you can rent, like a house, car, or flat.
