Did you look in the lujvo list here?
[http://www.lojban.org/publications/draft-dictionary/NORALUJV.txt]

1) I found "rent" right away:

jerle'i
jbera+pleji:
rent:  x1 = pleji1 (payor) = jbera1 (borrow),
        x2 = pleji2 (payment),
        x3 = pleji3 (payee)  = jbera3 (lender),
        x4 = jbera2 (borrowed),
        x5 = jbera4 (term [time of a loan])

2) <completely unqualified guess>
Though it's certainly no semantic standard, the Chinese have no
individual word for "taxi," they're just "rentout-cars." My intuition
says that jerle'i karce isn't ideal because it doesn't explicitly
differentiate from "rental cars."

If context does not make it explicit I would use:
taxi = rent car-driver : {jerle'i ma'ersazri} or {jerle'i celma'ersazri} *
rental car = rent car : {jerle'i karce}

? there's probably some better way to use the juvla's sumti here...

3) kitchen is also at the link above

jupku'a
jukpa+kumfa:
kitchen:   x1 = kumfa1 (room),
              x2 = kumfa2 (structure with room)
