We always rented and cleaned our own carpets. For the amount of times that you will need to do this over the lifetime of the carpet I think it does not pay to own one. The ones you can buy are not the same as the ones you can rent and the ones you rent are not the same as the ones that the professionals who you can hire carry.
If you do wind up renting make sure you find the cleanest machine you can. A lot of people don't clean them very well after returning them. Before you use it, I would spend time cleaning it as you don't want other peoples dirt on your carpets.
