Rent-a-carpet

Rent-a-Carpet was a service offered by some wizarding travel agencies, that consisted in renting flying carpets for short periods of time.

Globus Mundi Travel Agents offered a rent-a-carpet service that included side-carpets, stretch-carpets, and chauffeured-carpets. Advertisements for this service, however, were accompanied by a disclaimer pointing out that the Registry of Proscribed Charmable Objects banned flying carpets in Britain, and that it was meant as an international service for "approved countries" only.

Behind the scenes

 * Interestingly, some of the disclaimer text featured in the Rent-a-Carpet advert seen at the Globus Mundi storefront in seems to have been directly copied (with minor alterations) from the article on flying carpets here in the Harry Potter Wiki, specifically, a paragraph added in an April 2009 revision of the page.
