System and method for enabling a user to select a securable device throughout multiple securable device stations

A method of provisioning a securable device, said method comprising:

• providing a plurality of securable device stations, each securable device station including a set of securable devices in communication with a controller, the controller being configured to enable a user to rent a securable device from a set of securable devices;
• receiving, by the controller from a mobile device of the user, a request to rent a securable device, the request including an identifier of the securable device, a personal identification number (PIN) submitted by the user, payment information, and one or more rental parameters associated with the securable device;
• storing, by the controller, the PIN independent of any particular securable device identifier associated with the set of securable devices;
• in response to receiving (i) the PIN associated with the securable device and (ii) the identifier of the securable device, determining, by the controller, which securable devices satisfy the one or more rental parameters and are available or not available for rental and verifying that the received PIN matches the stored PIN;
• in response to determining that the securable device is available for rental responsive to receiving the request to rent the securable device, prompting, by the controller, the mobile device to present to the user a first option and a second option:
• the first option comprising allowing the controller to assign one of the determined securable devices to the user, and
• the second option comprising allowing the user to select one of the determined securable devices,
• receiving, by the controller from the mobile device, a selection of either the first option or the second option,
• wherein, upon receiving a selection of the first option, the controller assigns one of the determined securable devices to the user,
• wherein, upon receiving a selection of the second option, the controller:
• prompts the mobile device to select one of the determined securable devices, and
• receives, from the mobile device, a selection of one of the determined securable devices;
• and
• in response to verifying that the received PIN matches the stored PIN:
• associating, by the controller, the securable device identifier and the PIN so as to provision the assigned or selected securable device for the user;
• communicating a verification signal indicative of the received PIN matching the stored PIN to the controller;
• and
• provisioning, by the controller, the assigned or selected securable device for the user to access;
• and
• enabling, by the controller, the user to access the assigned or selected securable device, otherwise, in response to determining that the securable device is not available for rental, preventing, by the controller, the user to have access to the securable device.
