RentHub – Multi-Vendor Rental Marketplace Software

RentHub allows businesses to launch rental marketplaces where multiple vendors can list items for rent. From vehicles and equipment to properties and tools, RentHub handles bookings, availability, and payments.

Key features

What RentHub does, and why each part matters once you are running.

Vendor rental listings

Owners list their own items with photos, rates and terms, so your catalogue grows without you buying a single piece of stock.

Booking & availability management

Two customers can never reserve the same item for the same dates. Double-bookings are the fastest way to lose trust in a rental business.

Secure online payments

Rental fee and security deposit taken together at checkout, so you are covered before the item leaves rather than after it comes back broken.

Commission management

Your cut of every booking is calculated and deducted automatically, whether you charge a percentage, a listing fee, or both.

Rental calendars

Real-time availability per item, which is the machinery that separates a rental platform from an online shop and the part homegrown websites always get wrong.

SEO-optimized listing pages

Each item gets a findable page, so someone searching for a marquee or a pressure washer in your town lands on your listing.

How it works

A marketplace has more than one customer. Each side needs its own tools.

Owners

List items, set rates and availability, hand over and take back. They own the asset and the risk; you provide the customers and the machinery.

Renters

Find an item, check it is free on their dates, pay the fee and deposit, collect and return. Deposit refunds are what they will judge you on.

You

Vet owners, hold the booking calendar honest, take your commission and arbitrate when something comes back damaged.

Who it's for

Tools and equipment hire
DIY and small contractors who would rather hire than buy something they use twice a year.
Events and party hire
Marquees, sound, decor and jumping castles — steady demand around weddings, matric dances and December.
Formalwear and fashion
Dresses and suits worn once by their owner but earning every month.
Cameras, gear and outdoor kit
Creators and campers renting expensive equipment they cannot justify owning.

And who it isn't

If you own all the stock and expect to keep it that way, you want a booking system, not a marketplace. RentHub pays off once other owners are listing alongside you.

Built for South Africa

What RentHub handles that an offshore script has to be talked into.

Local payment gateways
PayFast, Peach Payments and Ozow — cards, instant EFT and the methods South African buyers already trust at checkout.
Priced and invoiced in rands
One-off price, paid in ZAR, invoiced locally. No currency conversion and no exchange-rate movement between quote and payment.
Your data stays on your infrastructure
Self-hosted, so you can answer where customer data lives, who reaches it and how long you keep it — the questions POPIA actually asks.
Support in your working hours
Based in Pretoria. When something breaks at 09:00 SAST, you are not waiting for an overseas support desk to wake up.
Courier options that exist here
Built with The Courier Guy, RAM and Pargo pickup points in mind rather than carriers that do not operate in South Africa.

What's not included

Worth knowing before you buy, not after.

  • Hosting and your domain. Installation on your server is free; the hosting account is yours.
  • Your payment gateway account, and the per-transaction fee it charges you.
  • Product photography, vendor onboarding and the words on your pages.
  • Marketing and customer acquisition — included only on the Custom plan.
  • Source code on Lite, Pro and Pro + Apps. Custom includes it; mobile app source is R39,000 as an add-on.
  • Support beyond your included period, which continues at R6,900 a year.
  • Apple and Google developer accounts for the mobile apps — roughly R1,800 a year and a once-off R450, paid to them directly.

None of this is unusual for self-hosted software. We list it because the alternative is finding out on a call.
