At Renterval.com, we embrace the move towards reuse and collaborative consumption.  Why would you sell something at a low price just to get rid of it? You can enjoy the effect of having cleaner cabinets/garage/attic and make money at the same time by renting your stuff. Think about it – just because you have a newer version of whatever it is, it doesn’t mean your older stuff is obsolete.

An account at Renterval.com is free and quick to set up, and with our secure environment we guarantee legitimate (and profitable!) transactions!   We hope to welcome you to our Renterval family soon!

Here’s how it works – for every new verified member onRenterval.com between December 1, 2011 and December 20th, 2011 that lists your Renterval.com member email address as their referring party, both the new member and you will get a chance at a great cash prize ($100 to the referring person and $100 to the new member).

Your invitation to friends can be as simple as this: “Go toRenterval.com, where you can make (or save) easy money by renting your stuff or service to or from neighbors.  List <my email address> as your referring party and we can both make some quick cash!”.

Tweet it, Facebook it , sandwich board it and promote it any other way you want – there is no limit to the number of entries for legitimate new member sign-ups that list you as the source for finding out about the greatness of Renterval!

At Renterval, our business is all about time. We help you sell your idle time, and we thank you for your overwhelming support of us. Beyond the thousands of hours we have helped our users sell, we know there is no time more important than the moment it takes to say “thanks”. To our users, colleagues, partners, and families: thank you. We are grateful for our relationship with you. Many blessings to you and your families during this holiday season.

The Renterval Team

TechCrunch recently wrote an article all about the Collaborative Consumption movement (find the article here).  Since April 2011 when Renterval debuted with our need user experience, we have been working hard to save (or make) money for our users.  If you have already invested in things or talent that you’re not using, offer them to your neighbors.  If you need something for just a short period of time, allow us to provide a rentervention!  Find what you need, review the merchant’s rating, schedule and reserve the rental all in one spot.  No phone tag, no emails back and forth, just an easy-to-do-business-with company that puts control back in your hands.  Join the movement, and join Renterval.com!

At the end of this month, little ghosts and goblins and their parents will celebrate one of the most popular holidays of the year. No longer just a trick-or-treating event, Halloween spending reached approximately $6 Billion in 2010. This year is on track to be even higher. Spending on rental items will account for hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you have anything that you can rent to your neighbors? Think about it: ladders (to hang decorations), tables & chairs, generators, portable lighting, flashlights and props are essential to a great party. Renterval.com gives you everything you need to make extra money by renting items to your neighbors. Don’t miss out on the opportunity!

• Renterval is free – advertise any item or service with no posting fees, no membership fees, and no scheduling fees.
• Renterval is easy– Simple tools make using Renterval a piece of cake.  Make changes to your postings “on the fly”– change pricing, update descriptions, change availability in an instant.  We’ll even take credit card payments from your customers for you.
• Renterval is safe– We use the same security as banks use. We will promote you to willing customers and will keep a lid on fraud and other scams because we won’t connect you to a customer unless they provide a valid credit card. Anyone that comes to you through Renterval is a bona fide customer.
• Renterval is powerful– Renterval finds you local, paying customers.  Set your sales area as broad or narrow as you want.
• Renterval makes you the boss – Can’t get on Groupon’s radar? Living Social won’t return your emails?  Renterval lets you get online and offer your deal whenever you want.  And, you don’t have to meet any minimum requirements – sell as much or as little as you want.

Renterval is your no risk, no obligation tool to make money with things or talents you already have. Time is money – cash in!

When people hear about Renterval, their first question is usually “what happens if my stuff isn’t returned?”  At Renterval, we understand the concern, and that’s why we have robust measures in place to prevent the theft of your items. 

The strongest protection is the fact that renters must provide a valid credit card (preauthorized for the rental  price of your rental item).  But you, too, can help further protect yourself.  As you are offering your item for rent, you can require that your customer provide a valid driver’s license to ensure you have an accurate address for your customer.  Additionally, you get to specify the cash deposit you want to collect at the time your item is provided.  Bear in mind, a high deposit might deter some customers from renting your item, but because of Renterval’s easy listing modification process, changes are fast and free – play around with a deposit amount to find the sweet spot!

We work hard to make sure your experience on Renterval.com is enjoyable and safe!

Not only is Renterval the perfect market to rent physical items, it’s also flexible enough to offer services priced by the interval (like tutoring, personal training, etc.).

If you’re a DFW resident, you’re in a great spot to get in on the projected $100 million in surplus money coming to the area for the Superer Bowl.  Listing your items for rental is easy on Renterval.com.  Just write the ad, put up a couple of pictures, and decide what you want to charge and Renterval will take care of the rest (we’ll find customers in your rental area,  handle all scheduling and will take credit card payments from your new customer and send the proceeds to you). 

Get in the game – Let Renterval help you get started!
