Yes, you need and account setup with the store to rent. Do you actually expect the store to allow you rent the item and then hope you bring it back when you are done? If you went to rent a car, gave them $100 and said you will bring it back when you are do, do you think they will let you rent the car without first asking you who the hell you are and find out where you live? People are fucking liars and dishonest, the stores need proof of who the hell you are before they can let you rent something they own.
