"Rentrer" is always used with ÊTRE.

The following is a list of verbs (and their derivatives) that require être:

aller to go

arriver to arrive

descendre to descend / go downstairs

(redescendre to descend again)

entrer to enter

(rentrer to re-enter)

monter to climb

(remonter to climb again)

mourir to die

naître to be born

(renaître to be reborn, born again)

partir to leave

(repartir to leave again)

passer to pass

rester to stay

retourner to return

sortir to go out

(ressortir to go out again)

tomber to fall

(retomber to fall again)

venir to come

(devenir to become

parvenir to reach, achieve

revenir to come again, come back)

These are all intransitive verbs of a certain kind of movement. You do get used to these verbs over time and one day you'll just know whether to use être or avoir without even having to think about it. In the meantime, though, you might find it useful to use a mnemonic device.

Notes

1. All pronominal verbs use être as the auxiliary verb as well:

Je me suis levé. - I got up.

Il s'est rasé. - He shaved.

2. For all verbs conjugated with être, the past participle has to agree with the subject in gender and number in all of the compound tenses: learn more:

Il est allé. - He went. Elle est allée. - She went.

Ils sont allés. - They went. Elles sont allées. - They went.

3. Verbs are conjugated with être because they are intransitive (have no direct object). However, six of these verbs can be used transitively (with a direct object), and when this happens, they need avoir as the auxiliary verb.
