Website, partners and phone all deliver separately. Retyping by hand costs time and causes double bookings.
Cost: a double booking on your busiest day

Daily reality
The rental day falls apart across separate systems
Reservations arrive through several channels, the dock works on paper, and the numbers only follow afterwards. Every handover costs time and creates mistakes at exactly the moments you are busiest.
The dock works on paper
At the jetty there is a printout from this morning. It does not show the ten o'clock changes, and nobody knows who is out right now.
Cost: phone calls back and forth
Numbers only afterwards
Revenue, refunds and channel split get scraped together in the evening from separate files.
Cost: no view during the season
Rentarado closes that chain: one truth for office, dock and management, at the same moment.
The product
One system for the whole rental day
Not a set of modules you have to tie together yourself. Rentarado follows the day as it actually runs on the quay.
Today
One day overview: who is out, what is due back, what needs attention. Dock and office look at the same picture, updated live.

Bookings & availability
Reserve with an availability check on the server, right before the write. Booking numbers are issued centrally, so nothing is ever rented out twice.
Dockside on a tablet
Handover and return with large buttons at the jetty, even with wet hands. Status changes are permanent; a correction is a new entry, not a deletion.
Prices & rates
Rate cards per season, time slot and boat type, with exceptions for busy days. Publish only when the next generation is ready.
Revenue & settlement
Revenue per period and per channel, refunds as a ledger, and VAT that adds up. Only for roles allowed to see amounts.
Channels & import
Bookings from your own website and from partners arrive automatically, recognised and without duplicates. Desk rentals fit right in between.

Connections and accountability
Full audit trail
Every meaningful change gets a line: who did it, when, on which booking and at which location, with the old and the new value. Statuses are added, never overwritten.
Multiple locations
Several jetties or branches under one company. Each location has its own fleet and day view, and permissions apply per location: whoever works at one jetty does not see the other.
Website plugin
A direct link with your own website: the booking arrives the moment your guest places it, with availability and rates straight from Rentarado. No retyping and no second calendar.
Payment integration
Deposits and balances through a payment provider, with the payment landing back on the booking. Refunds run through the same ledger as the rest of your revenue.
Accounting integration
Revenue, VAT and refunds go into your bookkeeping the way your administration wants them, per period or per channel. No monthly export round.
Start to finish
How a rental day moves through the system
Five moments, one trail. Every step leaves behind what the next one needs, so nobody has to retype anything or chase a phone call.
Illustration · no customer data
-
01
Reserve
The booking arrives from your website, from a partner or at the desk. Availability is checked on the server, and the booking number is issued there.
-
02
Assign
From boat type to a specific boat, per time slot. If anything changes, availability is re-checked before you save.
-
03
Hand out
At the jetty, on a tablet: guest present, briefing given, boat away. The status moves to on the water and the day view changes with it.
-
04
Return
Back on time or overdue, with or without damage. Deposit and remarks are recorded as events, with history.
-
05
Settle
Revenue per channel, refunds as a ledger, VAT that adds up. Only the roles allowed to see amounts see them.
Every single day: handover, return, and a day view that still adds up.
Where we are strongest
Built for recreational boat rental
Rentarado grew up at the waterside, with operators who deal with departure times, boat types and weather every single day. That is not an extra field in the system, it is the core of it.
Other rental types too
Bikes, canoes and SUPs, campers, equipment: the same core of stock, time slots, handover and return. Renting out something else? We will look at the fit in the intro call.
- Boat types with their own behaviour each with its own capacity, rate and colour code in the overview.
- Time slots and sailing times morning, afternoon, full day or your own block, with a return time and a signal when a boat is overdue.
- Assignment per boat from type to a specific boat, re-checking availability on every change.
- Walk-ins at the jetty someone turning up without a reservation is registered at the dock, without the dock seeing any amounts.
- Deposits, damage and refunds recorded as events with history, not as an overwritten field.
- Cancelling without losing anything a cancellation is a status change with a reason and a trail, never a vanished booking.
- Multiple locations several jetties or branches under one company, each with its own fleet and day view.

Built with operators
Born at the jetty, not behind a desk
Rentarado was not dreamed up at a drawing board. It was built with people who rent out boats themselves and who know what a busy Saturday does to your planning. Operators like De Landije in Giethoorn thought along, sailed along and said it plainly when something did not work. That is why it fits the way a rental day actually runs, instead of the way it looks on paper.

From practice
“Thanks to Rentarado we now have complete overview and control of our bookings at De Landije. We save a lot of time every day, and our customers are enthusiastic about how quickly and smoothly everything goes.”

Roles & security
Everyone sees exactly what they are allowed to see
Permissions live in the core of the system, not in the buttons of the interface. Anyone not allowed to see amounts does not receive them in the data behind the screen either.
Amounts stay with finance
Dock staff and viewers never see an amount, not even in the underlying data. That is enforced on the server, not with a hidden field.
Your data stands alone
Every rental company is its own separated environment. That separation is enforced on the server again on every single request.
Everything stays traceable
Statuses and changes are added, never overwritten. If a day is ever in doubt, you can read back what happened and who did it.
What each role sees

- Roles from office to dock, assigned per user

Why by request
We build this from inside our own rental business. We set up every new customer ourselves and sail along for the first days. That works with a few companies at a time, not a hundred. Hence the list.
Sander KramerRentarado
We start with your fleet, your rates and your busiest Saturday.
Onboarding
What a start looks like
We will not hand you a login and a manual and leave you to it. Your fleet, your rates and your way of working are set up before you go live.
Intro call
Half an hour about your rental day: fleet, channels, peak moments and what goes wrong today. After that we both know whether it fits.
Setup
We prepare your boat types, boats, time slots and rates, and connect your booking channels. You check the result before anyone works in it.
Guided start
We walk through your first rental days with you, at the jetty as well. After that, short lines: you talk to the people who built it.
Limited places
Request access
We work with a waiting list
Rentarado is not a self-service account you create in five minutes. Because every start gets personal guidance, we bring a limited number of rental companies on board at a time.
- You get a personal reply from someone who knows the product, not an automated email.
- If it does not fit right now, we will say so honestly and keep you on the list.
- Pricing on request, matched to your fleet and number of locations.
Questions
What rental operators ask first
01What does Rentarado cost?
The price depends on your fleet and the number of locations, and we agree it in the intro call. No entry rate that quietly doubles later, and no per-booking fee.
02Why can't I just sign up?
Because we set up every start ourselves and walk it through with you. That is only possible with a limited number of companies at a time. Your request goes on the list and we contact you personally as soon as there is room.
03Does it work at the jetty, on a tablet?
Yes. The dockside mode is built for tablets: large buttons, short actions and only the information needed at the water. Amounts are deliberately kept out of it.
04Which languages does it support?
There is no limit on languages: every piece of text runs through a translation layer, so adding one is a matter of translating, not building. Dutch, English and German are ready to use and set per user. Boat type names and rate labels are filled in per language too, so a German guest sees German.
05Where is my data stored?
On servers inside the European Union, with daily backups. Your company has its own separated environment, and that separation is enforced on the server on every request.
06Can I use my own boat types and rates?
Yes. Boat types, capacity, time slots, seasons and exceptions are configured to match your own practice. We prepare it for you at the start.
07Can I migrate with existing bookings?
Usually yes. In the intro call we look at what you use today and what needs to come across. Open bookings are part of the setup.
08I rent out something other than boats, does this suit me?
Often yes: the core is stock, time slots, handover and return. Boat rental is where Rentarado goes deepest. Tell us what you rent out and we will say honestly whether it fits.
Ready to make your rental day calmer?
Request access and tell us briefly what you rent out. You will hear from us personally whether there is room right now.
