A lot of rental and booking platforms quietly take a cut of every transaction — a percentage of the booking, a per-transaction processing markup, or a "payments fee" buried a few pages into the pricing docs. Rennt doesn't. It's a flat $9/month (Starter) or $29/month (Pro), plus 1¢ per booking ($1 for every 100 bookings) — and 0% commission on what your renters pay you, full stop.

When you're comparing rental booking software, the sticker price on the pricing page usually isn't the whole story. Two numbers matter: the monthly platform fee, and what happens to the money your renters actually pay you. A lot of platforms in this space — and in adjacent booking/marketplace software generally — take a percentage of every transaction on top of a subscription, or route payments through their own processor with a markup baked in. On a rental business with real transaction volume, that percentage adds up to a lot more than the monthly fee ever does.
A $150 tent rental at a 3% platform commission is $4.50 quietly gone. Multiply that across a busy weekend, a full season, or a few hundred bookings a year, and a "cheap" $19/mo plan with a hidden commission can cost more than a flat, transparent plan with no commission at all — you just don't see it until you add it up.
| Rennt | Typical rental/booking platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on bookings | 0%, always | Often a percentage per transaction, sometimes undisclosed until checkout or a sales call |
| Monthly platform fee | Flat $9/mo (Starter) or $29/mo (Pro) | Commonly $39–$399/mo depending on tier |
| Per-booking fee | 1¢ (one cent) per booking | Varies; sometimes folded into a commission instead of disclosed separately |
| Where renter payments land | Your own bank, via your own connected Stripe account | Often routed through the platform's payment processor first |
| Cash support | Cash-first — accept cash or check with no processor at all | Frequently requires card payments through the platform |
| Contract | None, cancel anytime | Varies; some require annual commitments |
Rennt is a flat $9/mo (Starter) or $29/mo (Pro) + 1¢ per booking, 0% commission.

On Rennt, a renter pays you — the rental business owner — directly. If you've connected your own Stripe account, card payments settle into your own bank account, the same way they would if you ran your own checkout. Rennt is never in the middle of that money and never takes a percentage of it. The only charges from Rennt are the flat monthly plan and the 1¢-per-booking platform fee, both billed separately and predictably. And because Rennt is cash-first, you don't even need a payment processor connected to start taking bookings — accept cash or check on delivery from day one, and add card payments whenever you're ready.
Zero commission doesn't mean a stripped-down product. Both Rennt plans include a branded booking storefront, a live availability calendar that tracks quantity-on-hand per item, deposits and e-signed rental agreements at checkout, an AI website builder, delivery-fee pricing, and a business console to manage bookings, customers, and inventory. Pro adds a custom domain and higher AI-credit limits. Nothing about being commission-free means going without the tools that actually run a rental business — see the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Start freeYes. Rennt never takes a percentage of what your renters pay you. You pay a flat $9/mo (Starter) or $29/mo (Pro), plus 1¢ per booking. That's the entire platform cost.
It's a flat one-cent charge for each confirmed booking — $1 for every 100 bookings. It doesn't scale with the price of the rental, so a $500 tent booking and a $50 chair booking both cost the platform the same one cent.
Straight to you. If you've connected your own Stripe account, card payments settle to your own bank account directly — Rennt never holds or routes your rental funds.
No. Rennt is cash-first — you can accept cash or check on delivery from day one and connect a payment processor only when you're ready to take cards.
No hidden fees. The flat monthly plan and the 1¢-per-booking charge are the whole cost. Standard third-party card-processing fees (from Stripe, if you connect it) are separate and go to Stripe, not Rennt — the same as if you ran your own checkout.
Commission-based pricing lets a platform's revenue scale automatically with a customer's transaction volume, which can look attractive on a low sticker price. The trade-off is that your software cost grows every time your business does — a flat-fee model like Rennt's doesn't.
Not always — for a very low-volume business, a small commission might total less than a flat monthly fee. But for most active rental operators, a percentage-based commission adds up faster than a flat $9–$29/mo, especially as booking volume grows.
