How it works

RentMe in 60 seconds

Last updated:

RentMe is a rental marketplace where everything is transparent: you see who the host is, what is included in the price, and how much goes to us vs. to the host. No hidden fees.

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% service fee 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€
RentMe service fee (10%)15€
Renter pays online: €15. To the host in person: €135 (€135 + €100 deposit).

Why so cheap

Big platforms take 15-25% from both sides of the deal. We take 10% only from the renter. Listing for hosts is free. This is possible because we do not process the full amount (no escrow = no bank fees per transaction), and each side handles their own taxes in their 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 service-fee payment is protected by Stripe and covered by their chargeback protocol.
