Not rent per se, but civilians can request and be granted observation time, though it's very limited.
Most HST observation time is granted in advance to Astrophysics and Astronomy teams based on submitted proposals, as well as their association with countries that helped build and maintain HST. However, the Space Telescope Science Institute (the unit that controls HST and its observations here in Maryland at Johns Hopkins) Director has 10% of "Director's Discretionary (DD) allocation time" for HST observations. The Director on occasion does grant use to civilians, though they must go through the same submission procedure as any scientist would, and any submission must clearly justify use of HST. Using it to observe women on the beach in Maui is not considered justifiable use. Besides, that's what submarine periscopes are for.

What is the price of the hubble telescope?
The cost of the Hubble Space Telescope was about $2.5 billion at the time of its launch in 1990, which included development, construction, and launching expenses.
How long did it take to build the Hubble Space Telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope took about a decade to build, from the time its construction was initiated in the 1970s to its launch in 1990. Various delays and setbacks extended the construction timeline.
How many tons does the hubble space telescope weght?
The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 11,110 kilograms, or 11.11 metric tons. Before it was launched, it weighed 108,956 newtons (24,493 pounds). It has had no weight since April 1990, and at the present time, it still weighs nothing.
What is the function of the hubble space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope is used to capture high-resolution images of celestial objects in space, providing valuable data for astronomers to study the universe. It has contributed to numerous discoveries and advancements in our understanding of astronomy and cosmology.
Can you use the hubble telescope?
Anyone can request observation time on HST - in the past, the Hubble Director has opened up his own time for use by amateur astronomers. Competition for time is fierce though, and is generally given to academics and scientists, though "targets of viewing opportunity" are considered if it falls within mission parameters. Anyone can download the thousands of photos taken by the Hubble, at hubblesite.org.
Could I use the Hubble Telescope?
It is possible if you can become involved in a project that has a grant to use the instrument. There are many organizations that get time on the telescope.

Does the Hubble telescope come down?
Not for a long time yet. It stays in space.
Has the hubble telescope changed over time?
Yes it has. there is high tech things added to it.
When was the last time the Hubble telescope was used?
Today, and it has a heavy day of observations scheduled for tomorrow.
Who does the repairing of the hubble telescope?
Astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle have dropped by the Hubble Space Telescope five times since 1993, to perform maintenance, repair, and upgrades. The last time was in 2009, and there won't be any more.
What telescope can you use here on earth?
Any telescope that you own, or can borrow, or rent, or on which you can be assigned time for your research.
