I have no idea. Could you supply more context? What is being rented? What do you mean by 'acception'?

:) the word acception I found in the dictionary... I want to say what does "walk on rentals" mean.
I saw it on a paintball-site. There are different prices for private group rentals and for walk on rentals.

Thanks :)

Then say that: 'What does *** mean?'

I suppose that it means that you do not have to phone ahead or make a reservation if you want to rent equipment; you can just appear and rent it without previous arrangement. However, the phrase is usually 'walk-in rental'.

Mister Micawber, help me!
I have a lesson about "headlines of articles in English" and i am doing some homework about writing full forms of these headlines. For example :
"PM rules out autumn election"---> Interpreting : Prime Minister has ruled out the autumn election.
But i have some difficulties in some headlines. Such as:
" Mixed reactions to G20 outcome" ; "What Americans want from the G20" ; "G20 sherpas have tall mountain to climb"
"What the $1tn pledge really costs" ; "G20: The social media battle" ;
Can you give me some suggestion? thanks a lot!

There are no absolute answers to what has been omitted, but:

(There are) Mixed reactions to (the) G20 outcome
What Americans want from the G20
(The) G20 sherpas have (a) tall mountain to climb
What the $1tn pledge really costs
G20: The social media battle

Three of them seem to need no filling out.
