Sharetribe for rentals

Rental marketplaces built on Sharetribe

Boats, gear, stays, vehicles, spaces. Rental marketplaces live or die on availability logic, deposits, and trust. We build all three on top of Sharetribe so you launch with the mechanics renters and owners actually expect.

What we build

What a rental marketplace needs from day one

Sharetribe gives you listings, transactions, and Stripe Connect. Rentals need more. These are the pieces we build most often on top of the platform.
Availability & booking windowsReal-time calendars, minimum and maximum stay rules, buffer days between bookings, seasonal blackout dates, and instant-book vs request-to-book flows.
Security deposits & damage claimsDeposit holds on Stripe, partial and full captures, and a claims flow that stays fair to both owner and renter. Built for high-value assets like boats and vehicles.
Flexible pricing modelsHourly, daily, weekly, and seasonal rates. Add-ons, cleaning fees, discounts for longer bookings, and dynamic pricing hooks when you need them.
Verification & trustStripe Identity, document checks, host and guest reviews, and verified badges so strangers feel comfortable handing over keys.
Multi-currency & multi-regionLaunch in one metro and expand to many. Location-based search, per-region pricing and commissions, and localized checkout.
Community & member modelsNot every rental is a paid transaction. We have shipped subscription-gated communities and zero-value bookings where hosts and guests connect without a per-stay fee.

A focused MVP usually launches in about a month.

01

Discovery & scoping

A 30-minute call to understand your model, then a written scope with timeline and price. No surprises.

02

Design

Flows and UI designed for your marketplace, not a re-skinned template. You approve before we write code.

03

Build in sprints

Weekly demos on a staging environment. You see the product take shape and steer as we go.

04

Launch & grow

Zero-drama go-live, then the features that come once real users show you what they need.

FAQ

Rental marketplaces: common questions

Not out of the box, but yes with custom work. We place a hold on the renter's card through Stripe alongside the booking payment, then release or capture it after the rental depending on the outcome. We build the claim flow so both sides can submit evidence and the marketplace operator has the final say.
