I’m looking forward to rent out my car privately, since 97% of time it stays in the garage and gathers dust.
So far I found only two service providers for this topic:
Gomore
2EM
I cannot find more, so it’s surprisingly few. They also have quite high commissions (22-25%).
Do you know more? Or do you have any experience with these services?
It looks like it’s a job in itself. If you have plenty of time on your hands…then go for it.
There’s also this attachment thinggy. Would never rent my car to other people…so if you can get rid of that feeling…
Airbnb would never work for me!! We rented our property back home but I know the tenants and I know they treat my house as if it was their own. Dealing with tourists of various debatable qualities is not really appealing…as of yet! But who knows…
Anyway, on AirbnB you can rate both the owners and the renters so it helps with diminishing the risks.
It seems like quite a task. If you have a lot of free time, then sure, go for it. Personally, I could never rent out my car to others because of the attachment I have to it, but if you can get past that, it might be worth considering
Used Gomore a few years back to rent a cargo van to move junk to the dump. No problems.
Only problem I can think of is hidden damage that may only be realized down the road.
Bit of a different thing really, a house/apartment is a much higher value asset and something that holds value very well, even appreciates with time. Plus it’s difficult to shift (mortgages etc). Cars are much lower value items and generally only depreciate, and very much so with use. Renting a car carries much more risk…
