Besides the cost factor, the other reason dragging people towards rental apps and services is the zeal to save the environment and reduce their carbon footprints. As a result, studies have proven that up to 70% of millennials and gen Z looks forward to renting apps than buying a product for real.
Eventually, the market has introduced multiple rental marketplaces to facilitate easy renting services for real estate properties, vehicles, home appliances or other household belongings, clothes, and much more.
As a result, we see a massive demand for online rental marketplaces. And why not when it has become one of the most prominent business models of the current times?
Let’s begin with exploring the multiple types of rental marketplaces.
Such platforms offer products or used items, properties, and vehicles to rent out at nominal charges for a specified time duration. The market is flooded with multiple such platforms including –
A platform that acts as a mediator between the product provider and end-user. Most product or property owners see such platforms as an added source of income to rent products or properties and earn a handsome amount of income. In return, the P2P platforms seek a commission amount seen in the form of direct profit.
When talking about rental marketplaces, it’s hard to miss the car rental industry as it is one of the highly successful rental marketplaces globally. Here’s proof –
No matter what kind of value proposition you have in your head, the process of online rental marketplace development begins with a set of standard features.
Whether it’s the meditator (P2P platform owner), end user, or product/property owner, sign-up or login feature is mandatory for everyone. This unlocks the further realm of features and functionalities to process rental requests.
There is a search option embedded with the advanced search filters to narrow down the search results and help the users find an appropriate list of results in one go. It’s a no-brainer to use the advanced search filters as most of them consist of – product color, size, type, purpose, location, dates, etc.
Map integration is treated as a third-party integration feature in most rental marketplaces. It lets the end-user select a product or property based on the preferred locations and distance. The feature sails the user through Google Maps for utmost accuracy and dependency.
Making a list of preferences for a nearby event or occasion? Generally, a market place for rent offers this feature in the form of ‘add to cart’ or ‘add to wishlist’. This lets the end-user surf, select the preferred items, and save them in the cart.
The user can connect to the product or rental service provider to wave off any issues regarding the deal or product. This is yet another type of third-party integration that widens the service scope of the rental apps.
Users can book and confirm rental product or property booking in seconds after selecting an item. Once the rental order is confirmed, the details are reflected in the ‘order history’ feature.
The order history feature contains a list of rental orders placed in the past along with complete order details. The most common information found under this feature includes – product type rented, date of renting product/property, payment method opted, the amount transferred, and much more.
This is one of the most crucial features of the rental marketplaces which lets the user choose from multiple payment options including – credit card, debit card, UPI, PayPal, Cash, and much more.
Whether it’s the aggregator, end user, or property/product owner providing rental services, anyone receives push notifications regarding the rental order placed.
Users get the liberty to rate and review the rental services received at the end of completing the rental service tenure. This feature pops up after the rental service completes.
The chances of getting trapped in fraud cases or meeting scamsters on rental marketplaces are at higher risk. In order to save your platform from such unpleasant experiences, ensure that you seek ID proof and other identity verification checks at the time of creating a profile. Another security tier can be verification of the product uploaded on the portal for rental purposes. All these security practices can uplift the market reputation of your marketplace helping you rule the rental service world in no time.
Overcome the cheesy ways of luring your target customers rather than give them a solid reason to join your rental marketplace. It can be anything including – highlighting your app or solution feature, reducing the service package prices for new customers, or much more.
Whether it’s about entering the property or car rental business, jot down the fact that you will be welcomed with tough competition. Thus, come up with a solution that lets you stand out from them and help you get an identity. All in all, your solution has to be extraordinary in all terms.
