We know there is a lot to learn about running your own RV rental business so we’re going to start with the four things that you need to do on your very first day to set yourself up for success.
First, we'll talk about how to optimize your listing to get as many bookings as possible. Your listing is a huge part of what determines if a renter thinks your RV is a good fit for them. You’ll want to make it stand out in the sea of other listings by giving it a creative title, a detailed description, and uploading beautiful and thoughtful photos.
Here are a few quick tips on making your listing stand out:
- Write a detailed description to market your RV to renters and reduce questions you might receive later. This is where you’ll convince renters why they should choose your RV -- share some fun features and a few reasons why you love your RV. In your description, you can also add your favorite local spots they could visit, where you are willing to deliver to, and any other helpful info you think they might want upfront.
- Make sleeping arrangements clear. In your description be sure to include approximate bed sizes, how many people your RV sleeps, and where those spaces are. This is a big part of choosing the right RV for many renters, especially those with large parties and families.
- Upload high-quality photos, and plenty of them. We recommend at least 20 pictures with captions of both the inside and outside of the RV, with one being the floor plan. They should be well-lit and free of clutter. Consider staging your RV with welcoming throw pillows and a set table in the kitchen. This helps the renter imagine themselves staying there.
- Include any add-ons or upsells you may offer, such as cleaning and pet fees or generator rentals. Just don’t overdo it on the upsells, aim to keep it under 3.
- Keep your pricing competitive to get in front of as many renters as possible. Overpricing your rental will result in fewer bookings while underpricing will mean you’re losing out on valuable revenue.
Now that your listing is catching everyone’s attention, you’ll need to set up your Payouts so you can actually receive those bookings and get paid.
Next, make sure you are insured and that the RVshare Protection Plan is active. Visit the Manage Listing section in your Dashboard, Edit Listing, and navigate to Insurance and Protection. If you see "Insurance and Protection Active" above your RV name, you're all set! If you see anything else, give us a call so we can help get you approved.
Finally, it’s crucial that your calendar be kept up-to-date. This prevents renters from trying to book on days where your RV is unavailable, and you have to cancel -- which should be avoided at all costs. It compromises the trust renters have in your business and it will directly impact the performance of your listing on the site.
