I am looking for nice places to kayak in CT, preferably with good rates for renting kayaks. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Almost not worth it, you can pick up a used one on craiglist for $100.00

The shoreline has a bunch of places.

New Hartford, Colchester,

where are you in Connecticut? There are many places along the shoreline where you can rent one for 3-4 hours for a day.

They also have places to rent them along the Farmington River in Canton if you're in the Hartford area, and I'm sure other places as well.

Otherwise, as EUPL says above, if you plan to rent for more than a half day or day, it might be worth it to buy a used one.

Better to find a used one on Craigslist or sports Store or kayak store. Only know 2 one in Oakville and other in Collinsville. Think there is a place near New Haven called Action Sports that sells Kayaks as well.

For cheap rentals know one but think 2 state parks offer canoe and Kayak rentals at a cheap rate.

I rent kayaks from this place once or twice a year, they are situated at the CT River Estuary. Fun place to paddle around:

If you are in FFLD County, I like Down Under in Westport. The Norwalk Beach will rent them out to you, as well. You can rent SUPs, etc at both places, too.

The Lieutenant River and around Milford in general are great Kayaking places. I unfortunately do not know if there's anywhere to rent anywhere nearby.
