Renterval » Local Rentals At Your Fingertips!

So, you’re on the site, and you’re thinking “neat idea, but I don’t offer anything by the hour”.  Not true!

There are so many services that can be converted to an hourly (or any period of time) charge.  For example, haircuts aren’t normally priced by the hour, but if you know that you typically can perform a haircut in 45 minutes and you charge $30 for each, then there you go! You can list your time on Renterval! 

Here’s another example – you have a pool cleaning business, and you charge $45/week and require a 6-week commitment. You can do that on Renterval, too!  Let’s say it takes you a hour to clean the pool. So, all you need to do is put it on Renterval for $45/hour, and require a 6-hour minimum. 

We have tools to help you with the single appointment or recurring appointment situations.

Now is the time to get creative – just think of all of the thing you can do with your time!

Renterval’s calendar makes it easy for merchants to tell their customers when a listing is unavailable.  Simply pick the times when you can’t (or won’t) sell your time, and customers are prevented from scheduling a listing during your “time off”.  Be careful, though.  The calendar interpretation of your input is very literal. Assume that you want to close your doors from 5pm to 8am the next day (sounds reasonable, right?). But, if you enter your time as unavailable, from 5pm to 8am every day, you’ll never sell a listing where the interval is 1 day (because a portion of every day will be blocked out).

A better way to tell your customers what your standard hours are is in your personal terms and conditions.

If you are unavailable at a given time on a recurring basis (daily, weekly, monthly), or if you are unavailable on weekends, simply use the repeating feature of the calendar.  If you don’t want to work weekends (who does?), simply set a weekly recurring unavailability for Saturday, and then do another for Sunday. But here’s one final reminder, in doing so, your customers won’t be able to rent a listing that spans a Saturday or Sunday.

Hope this gives you some ideas of how to make the most of Renterval.

Who are we kidding - no one works 9 to 5 anymore. By the time you get up, get dressed, and sit in traffic (and reverse the process at the end of the day), 9 to 5 sounds like a dream.  Sick of the daily grind?  I was. So I started this site to help anyone who can charge for theri time by the hour/day/week.  Renterval gives you a calendar to tell the world when you can work and when you can’t. Got a doctor’s appointment? Want to take your kid to the movies? Mark yourself as unavailable and move on. With modest fees and lots of tools to help you merchandise yourself, Renterval is your best place to manage your new career.

Use it – it will get us out of the daily grind.
