Advantages

Why rental businesses choose RentMy

Built for the counter, not only the website

Walk-up customers don't wait. RentMy's POS handles check-out, card payments, and returns in seconds, and every counter sale updates the same inventory your online store uses.

Rent it and sell it in one place

Bike shops, surf shops, and outfitters earn from both rentals and retail. RentMy runs both in one checkout, so you don't need a second POS or a nightly reconciliation.

Keep the payment processor you trust

Already have rates you like? Connect the gateway you use today. No forced switch, no new merchant agreement.

Waivers that just work

Customers sign digital waivers at booking or at the counter, and the signed copy stays attached to the order.

Website builder included

There’s no need to pay separately for a website or hire a developer to integrate a booking widget. RentMy puts you in control of the experience you want, and no other developers are needed!

Platform Fit and Capabilities

When Booqable might be the better fit

We'd rather you pick the right tool. Booqable can be a good choice if you take nearly all bookings online, have no retail side, rarely serve walk-up customers, and prefer a fully self-serve setup. If that changes as you grow, RentMy is here.

Customizeable Alerts & Reminders

Stop taking the phone calls & replying to emails that slow down your team. The RentMy automated alerts & reminders (email AND text) allow you to set and forget reminders to keep your Customers up-to-date without answering calls and emails.
