How earning works
Use AI to create a listing from a single photo in the app, or list manually in minutes.
- 1
Snap a photo
Take one or more photos of your item. In the app, our AI fills in the title, description, category and a suggested price.
- 2
Set your price
Review the listing and set your own daily and weekly rates. You can change them at any time.
- 3
Approve bookings
See each renter’s profile, trust score and ID-verification status. Accept or decline — you stay in control of who rents your items.
- 4
Get paid
Your share transfers to your Stripe balance the moment you approve a booking, and Stripe pays it to your bank on its standard schedule. No chasing payments.
What you can list
If you own it and someone nearby could use it for a day, list it — it is free.

- $204.00
Renters pay their own service fee and sales tax on top of your price — it is not deducted from your payout.
Stripe Connect powers all payouts
Built for trust
Protection for lenders
Several layers of protection so you can lend with confidence.
Deposit-backed bookings
Every rental is backed by a refundable security deposit, sized to your item. File a claim directly through the app if something goes wrong.
Secure deposits
Security deposits are held via Stripe before pickup and released automatically after a successful return.
Verified renters
Renters can verify their identity via Stripe Identity. Trust scores help you choose reliable people.
Private messaging
Coordinate pickup and return securely. Your personal contact info stays private throughout.
Two-way reviews
Both sides review each other after every rental. Build your reputation and attract the best renters.
Claims and mediation
If something goes wrong, file a claim within 72 hours of the return. Rentsome mediates disputes fairly.
Refer a friend
Their first rental is fee-free. You get $20.
Share your referral code from the Rentsome app. A friend who joins with it pays no service fee on their first rental, and when that rental completes you receive a $20 credit that is applied automatically to the service fee on your own bookings.
- 1Open Referrals in the app and share your code.
- 2They enter it when they join; their first booking skips the service fee.
- 3Once it completes, $20 lands in your credit balance.
