As reported, Canadians now have a new way to access gear and make money, thanks to an Ontario-based startup called Rentovault. EIN Presswire, Rentovault There is a peer-to-peer gear rental option offering photography and outdoor equipment. It aims to provide better accessibility by connecting outdoor and photography gear with people who want to rent it. It’s basically like Turo or Airbnb but for outdoor and photography gear.
According to the company, “Rentovault is an outdoor gear rental platform dedicated to connecting adventure and photography enthusiasts. By facilitating the sharing of high-quality equipment, Rentovault allows individuals to explore their passion without the burden of high costs.” Gives the right to. This serves as an alternative to renting from companies like lensrentals in America and Vistec in Canada.
Rentovault isn’t the first peer-to-peer photography gear rental company, although it is the first Canadian company, as far as we’ve been able to ascertain. In the US, people who want to rent gear peer-to-peer style have more options, the two most well-known of which are kitsplit And sharegridKitSplit operates in Canada, although its options are extremely limited at the time of writing. ShareGrid does not currently operate in Canada.
Of course, any peer-to-peer rental structure depends entirely on the users who rent their devices. People won’t bother checking out the site if there isn’t much selection. Even though Rentovault is so new, it seems to already have a pretty good selection, at least in the major cities. However, there is still a lot of room to grow, so don’t expect to have a wide selection right from the start.
Rentovault takes a 20% commission on rentals, but still, if you have gear that you’re not using regularly, this can be a useful way to help pay off the cost of said piece of equipment. . To provide peace of mind to those who are renting out their belongings, Rentovault says it “takes full responsibility to reimburse you, the lender, to cover damage or loss during the rental period, provided That there is proper evidence of damage.”
One advantage such a website has over a larger rental company like LensRentals (which does not operate in Canada) is that you aren’t stuck waiting for something to be shipped. Rentovault is designed as a local pick-up option, so you can schedule a time and place to pick up what you’re renting instead of waiting a few days or a week to receive it . It may be difficult to find the exact piece of kit you need, but it can provide much faster access. Additionally, Rentovault is unique because it features outdoor gear. If you’re looking to have an outdoor adventure but don’t want to buy everything right away, this can be a convenient option.
