Getting started
Do I need an account to rent?
Yes — signing up with your email takes a minute. That’s all you need: no ID, no phone check.
Who can list an item?
Anyone with an account. In your host profile, state whether you rent out privately, as a small trade or as a company — that appears on your listings. No approval needed.
Can I rent as a business?
Yes. As a trader you pick “Small trade” or “Company” in your host profile and add your company name, website and logo (trader identification under § 312l BGB). Any account can rent — for business too.
Pricing & payment
What does Reddaro cost?
Nothing. Browsing, listing and requesting are free — no service fee, no commission. The daily price on a listing is indicative; you agree the final price directly.
How do I pay?
Directly between renter and host — in cash at handover or by bank transfer, as agreed in chat. Reddaro does not take payments.
Is there a deposit?
That is up to the host. Whether, how much and in what form a deposit is paid is agreed directly between you — Reddaro neither collects nor holds deposits. Best to record the agreement in chat.
How should I price my listing?
A good rule of thumb is 1/20 of the item's value per day. The listing flow shows what similar items nearby actually earn.
Cancellation
Can I cancel a booking?
Yes — any time before the rental starts, from your bookings page. Since Reddaro does not process payments there is nothing to refund; anything already agreed between you is settled directly.
What if the host cancels on me?
You are notified immediately and the dates are freed up. Since no payment goes through Reddaro you lose nothing — and you can request a comparable item nearby right away.
Problems & reports
The item was damaged or not as described — what now?
Document the condition with photos — in the handover protocol and at return. Damage and any deposit are settled directly between renter and host; Reddaro is not a party to the contract and does not mediate. For fraud or serious misconduct, report the conversation — we suspend users who break the rules.
How do I report a listing or user?
Use 'Report an issue' on any listing or conversation. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours and you always get a reasoned decision — no silent removals.
