Renting out as a business
More rentals, less hassle. We put your inventory on Huurmarkt and take care of the renters, the payments and the protection.
- One contact person you can simply call
- Deposits, payments and payouts run through the platform
- An extra sales channel, without a marketing budget
- Everything in one overview, in the app as well
What you get
The promise above, and what it means in practice.
- Your account manager puts your range online
- Renters pay up front, deposit included
- Your payout runs automatically through Stripe
- Require a verified renter per listing
- Calendar, requests and invoices in one place
- Free to list, no subscription, no minimum term
Instant booking or on request?
You decide per listing how a renter reaches you. Both are possible, and you can switch whenever you like.
Instant booking
The renter picks their dates, pays and the booking is confirmed. You do not have to do a thing.
- No waiting, so fewer renters drop out
- Works in the evening and at weekends too
- Your calendar fills up by itself
- Your availability has to be right, because the dates are blocked straight away
- You only speak to the renter after the booking
On request
The renter sends a request. You look it over, ask a question if you want and say yes or no.
- You stay in control of who takes your equipment
- Handy for expensive kit, delivery or a tight schedule
- You can say no before any money has changed hands
- You have to respond quickly, because the renter keeps looking elsewhere
- Every day of waiting costs you bookings
New listings are set to on request by default. With an instant booking the renter has 30 minutes to pay; after you approve a request, 24 hours.
Deposit, protection and liability
The three questions we get most often. The full story is in the help centre.
What Huurmarkt protection (HPS) does and does not do
No insurer in between: we manage the pot ourselves, funded by the protection contribution that comes off your payout. We assess every claim ourselves, with the photos and the booking already to hand. So it is not insurance.
What happens when there is damage
- The deposit firstThe amount you set yourself is the first thing that is used.
- Then the risk poolIt can top that up, to € 2,000 per claim and never more than the current value, once we have assessed it.
- Anything above thatYou claim that directly from the renter. We mediate where we can.
Covered
- Accidental damage during the rental period
- With check-in and check-out photos, reported within the window
- Up to € 2,000 per claim after assessment, or the current value if that is lower
Not covered
- Misuse, negligence and illegal use
- Use by someone not authorised
- Damage outside the rental period and normal wear and tear
On or off per listing, for item values up to € 10,000. Not on homes and stays, passenger vehicles, vans and commercial vehicles, campers, motorcycles or storage space on location; trailers, bikes and e-bikes are covered.
A claim is not an automatic payout: we look at each case, within the limits of the pot.
You set the deposit
You pick the amount; we only check that it is in proportion.
- We collect the deposit together with the rent and hold on to it
- If there is damage, it comes off the deposit first
- After a correct return we start the refund within 72 hours; the bank then takes another five to ten business days
Note: we can only apply the protection as long as the deposit stays below € 2,000. Below that, the platform caps deposit and add-ons together at € 1,999.99; if you ask for more yourself, that amount stays and the protection lapses.
Who is responsible for what
The rental agreement is between you and the renter; Huurmarkt mediates and handles the payment.
You
- A lawful offer and a safe product
- A description that is accurate
The renter
- Careful use and returning on time
- With vehicles, the fines as well
