Growing rental by owner company doubles boat and powersports listings and rental clients in summer of 2013
Fun2Rent.com, a nationwide peer-to-peer rental company for powersports, has announced on August 16, 2013 that they have already doubled their business in the summer of 2013 for both the number of owner listings and the number of rental clients on their site.
The growth for Fun2Rent is attributed by the company to increased brand recognition, adoption of the peer-to-peer renting model and overall improving economy.
Fun2Rent differentiates itself in the peer-to-peer rental market by qualifying all renters for eligibility and including insurance with every rental – over $1,000,000.00 in liability and collision insurance. They aim to build a trusted powersports community of both owners and renters for all types of powersports – such as boats, personal watercraft, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, trailers and more.
Rental benefits to owners include ability to offset the cost of ownership, including maintenance and storage fees, without a membership fee. They provide an insured way to offset costs, making the cost of ownership less prohibitive. For renters, Fun2Rent’s service gives them the opportunity to enjoy a private owner’s boat, personal watercraft or ATV at a fraction of the cost.
Marine Marketing Best Practices
The peer-to-peer rental business operated by Fun2Rent benefits the marine industry, because it gives both owners and renters an affordable way to enjoy boating. The more people able to join the recreational boating industry, the more growth opportunities there are for the industry overall. Fun2Rent also offers powersports rentals year round with the availability of ATV and snowmobiles, expanding their market reach and giving them the ability to potentially recruit more clients for boating seasons.
