Getting Started as a Rental Vendor

1 Assess Your Inventory

Make a complete list of everything you can rent out. Include detailed specifications for each item: brand, model, dimensions, quantity, condition, and replacement value. This information helps you set accurate rental prices and security deposits.

2 Set Competitive Rental Rates

Research similar rental offerings on OTXAD marketplace to understand prevailing rates. Consider offering tiered pricing (daily, weekly, monthly) to accommodate different event durations.

Pricing Tip: A standard pricing model is 10-15% of the item's replacement value per day. Offer weekly discounts (4 days for price of 3) to encourage longer rentals.

3 Create Your Listing

Post a free ad for each item or create a package listing. Use the title to highlight what you are renting, for example "Mandap Frame for Rent – 12x12 ft Adjustable" or "Premium Wedding Chairs – Set of 50 for Rent".

5 Define Your Rental Terms

Clearly state your rental policies in the listing description. Include rental period, delivery and pickup options, setup services, security deposit amount, damage policies, late return fees, and cancellation policy.
