The reporting persons listed on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D
hereby make the following statement (this "Statement") pursuant to Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

per share (the "Common Stock") of NationsRent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The Issuer is an equipment rental company. The Issuer is
headquartered at 450 East Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This Statement is being filed jointly by James L. Kirk, Kirk

also the sole shareholder, officer and director of KHI and the sole limited
partner of KHLP in his capacity as trustee of the James L. Kirk Revocable Trust
Agreement dated June 24, 1986, as amended. KHI's principal business is to serve
as the sole general partner of KHLP. KHLP's principal business is to make, hold,
and manage certain of Mr. Kirk's investments in publicly-traded and other
companies. Mr. Kirk is a citizen of the United States of America.
None of Mr. Kirk, KHLP or KHI has, during the last five years,
(a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (b) been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS
OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Mr. Kirk was a co-founder of the Issuer in August 1997 and,
along with certain other founders of the Issuer, contributed an aggregate of
$48.4 million in equity capital to the Issuer which was funded at various times
from September 1997 through June 1998 as required to complete acquisitions. Upon
the founding of the Issuer, Mr. Kirk received 5,000 shares of common stock,
which was recapitalized by the Issuer into 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to the Issuer's initial public offering. On September 2, 1998,
Mr. Kirk acquired an additional 100 shares of Common Stock in open market

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) and (b) As of December 16, 1998, Mr. Kirk, KHLP and
KHI may be deemed to beneficially own 12,000,100 shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer, representing approximately 21.8% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (based on
55,020,452 shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of December

was consummated on August 12, 1998, Mr. Kirk, along with other officers,
directors and certain security holders of the Issuer, entered into a lock-up
agreement with the underwriters of the initial public offering. The lock-up
agreement prohibits, among other things and with certain exceptions, the offer
or sale of the Common Stock held by Mr. Kirk for a period of 180 days from
