Listing Policy

Show the actual item. Photos should be of the equipment you're renting — on a job site, in your yard, on the trailer. A renter deciding between two listings needs to see what they're getting.

Your branding is welcome. If your dumpster, truck, or trailer has your company name and number painted on it, that's fine — that's your equipment.

What doesn't work: marketing graphics, flyers, or ad banners in place of photos. If the image is designed rather than photographed, it isn't showing the renter the item.

If you genuinely don't have a photo yet — new inventory, still in transit — a manufacturer image is acceptable temporarily if the description says so. Replace it when you can.

Don't put phone numbers, email addresses, or "call for pricing" in your listing text, title, or images.

This isn't about hiding you. RentThis handles booking, payment, and protection, and that only works when the rental runs through the platform — it's also how you're covered if a renter damages your equipment or disappears with it. Once a booking is confirmed, you and the renter exchange contact details automatically.

Messages on the platform filter contact details for the same reason.

List a real price. Renters filter and compare on price, and a listing without one gets skipped.

If your pricing genuinely varies — delivery distance, tonnage over the included limit, weekend rates — set your base rate as the price and explain the variable part in the description. "$575 for 7 days, +$10/day after" is a real price. "Call for quote" isn't.

We'll tell you what needs to change and why, and your listing stays in draft until you fix it. Most issues are a photo swap or a line of text.

Repeated or deliberate violations — particularly attempts to move transactions off the platform — are handled under our Terms of Service.
