Haven't rented from them, but I have rented from www.lensrentals.com

Lensrentals worked well for me - and it's worth noting they're based in Cordova, TN - near Memphis - so seeing as you're in Chattanooga, that's fairly convenient, and means cheaper, faster shipping.
 
I think I was on a shoot with stuff from borrow lenses. The Lenses were fine but the ND filters they sent us were unuseable cheap plastic crap and that screwed up the ability to use DSLR's for low DOF outdoors. So be careful & check.
 
www.barrowlenses.com is a great company. I have rented from them numerous times as I have been building my gear. I am one who prefers to rent and try-out before I buy, and they are great. I like www.lensrentals.com as well, but since I live just a about 5 hours from them, they send out stuff via ground even though I pay for overnight at times, and have asked them not to do that. The FedEx ground guy delivers at various different times and I have missed him because I was expecting it to come via FedEx OverNight. Ground is really difficult to get a package from if you miss them on the same day here.

Also with Barrow if you place a big order they assign you a VIP person for contact. That has been very helpful when need to extend rentals, or get something extra. They do need to start putting gear lists in with the gear so you know what goes in each box though.
 
Out of town shooting a documentary in Philadelphia so we had a Nikon teleconverter shipped to us from borrowlenses. Just seems like a very convenient and affordable service to me.
 
I had great experience with borrowlenses and to be honest I haven't used any other rental houses for my lenses. I've great reviews of lensrentals too but have never used them before.
