How it works

RentMe in 60 seconds

Last updated:

RentMe is a rental marketplace where everything is clear – you see who the host is and exactly what is included in the price. No hidden charges.

For renters

1
Find

A car, a place or an item in the city you need. Filter by category, price, host rating.

2
Book

Pay only the 10% prepayment online. The rest – directly to the host at handover.

3
Receive

Chat with the host, agree on the meet-up, hand over the deposit. Then – leave a review.

For hosts

1
Create

A listing: photos, description, price, availability calendar. Posting is free.

2
Get requests

You get a notification for every booking and can chat with the renter. Approve or offer different dates.

3
Hand over

Meet, accept payment in cash or by transfer, hand over the item. No middleman.

How the price is calculated

Example: 3 days at €50
Rental subtotal (3 × 50€)150€
Deposit (cash on pickup)100€
Booking prepayment (10%)15€
Renter pays online: €15. To the host in person: €135 (€135 + €100 deposit).

Why so cheap

Big platforms add 15–25% on top and lock your money in escrow. RentMe keeps it simple: the guest pays a 10% prepayment online at booking, and the rest goes to the host in person. Listing is free for hosts, and each side handles its own taxes in its own jurisdiction.

What about safety?

  • All hosts pass basic verification: email + phone. Business accounts – plus a company name.
  • Every chat has an "Invite admin" button. A moderator sees the thread and helps resolve disputes.
  • Cash deposit at pickup – the host's guarantee. Returned when the item comes back in good shape.
  • The online payment is protected by Stripe and covered by its chargeback protocol.
