BOC rental charges are offset by the lower cost per unit of gas.
They, after all, are a supplier of industrial gases.

Like Ian says, BOC are an industrial supplier and although they did dabble in the retail/hobby market a number of years ago they abandoned that business model as it was not profitable for them.
I use Hobbyweld, I go through one Ultra Mix 5 20 litre Refill per year or sop with the work I do. The last one I got was in July and it currently sits at just over half empty. I have always used the same supplier as well, Just Kampers, so have never had any issue with paperwork. Frankly if you have a cylinder to hand back there shouldn't be a problem.

I currently use Air Products but not when my current cylinder is empty. I use a half size bottle of Argon and it costs £45 a month rental.
