Common questions about our rental software features
How does the marketplace work?
Your rental inventory is listed on BigRentals.com, where we invest in advertising to drive customer traffic. When a customer books through the marketplace, we handle customer inquiries and communication leading up to the booking. You simply review and approve or decline each reservation request. Listing your inventory on the marketplace is free. We only earn when you earn, through a 20% commission on marketplace bookings.
Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
No. HQRent is month-to-month with no long-term contract required. If you decide it is not the right fit, you can cancel at any time. We also offer optional annual billing at a discounted rate for customers who prefer to lock in savings.
Will my price go up if you raise prices later?
We may change our prices over time to cover the cost of continuing to improve the software. If you pay for a yearly plan, you're guaranteed to lock in that rate for the full year. We'll do our best to keep our prices low and affordable.
What if someone books on the marketplace but the equipment is already rented?
Marketplace bookings come through as reservation requests. You can choose to manually review and approve each request, or enable auto-accept as a setting depending on your preference. If a request conflicts with an existing booking, you can simply decline it. Your own booking system always takes priority.
How do payments work? How do I get paid?
HQRent has a payment processor built directly into the software, and onboarding is quick and easy. You set your own bank account for deposits, track all transactions from your dashboard, and manage payouts on your schedule. We also support some external payment processors for businesses that prefer an alternative.
Can I use my own custom rental contract?
Yes. You can enter your own contract text directly in the settings. If you have an existing contract in PDF format, you can copy the text and paste it into the system. We also provide a base rental contract template that you can customize. We recommend having a lawyer review your contract before publishing it.
Can I require customers to upload license and insurance before or during booking?
Yes. You control this. The software lets you require documents before booking, after booking, or at pickup. You can also choose not to require them at all and collect documents in person. This keeps the booking flow in your hands and reduces abandonment when customers do not have documents ready.
What is the difference between marketplace bookings and my own website bookings?
They are two separate channels. Marketplace bookings come through BigRentals.com, where we advertise your inventory and handle customer inquiries. These carry a 20% commission. Bookings through your own website are customers you bring yourself, and you keep 100% of the revenue. The only cost on your own website bookings is standard payment processing fees.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Just your equipment photos, item information (specifications and pricing), and your logo. You will also need to purchase a domain from your preferred registrar and create a payment processing account. Our team handles everything else, including building your website, configuring the backend, and setting up your booking system.
How do contactless or self-service rentals work?
Contactless or self-service rentals are supported by handling all paperwork online before the customer arrives: contract signing, driver's license upload, insurance upload, and payment. Once that's complete, you send the customer the pickup location, unit number, and any access instructions (for example a lockbox code) via automated messages. How you handle the actual handoff—staffed, lockbox, or another method—is up to you.
I'm starting with a small fleet. Can I get started with your software?
Yes. HQRent is built for rental businesses of every size. Whether you start with a few units or a large fleet, you get the same software and support. You can add more equipment anytime. Your plan includes unlimited listings with no extra charge for adding items.
Can I see a demo before I sign up?
Yes. We can set up a demo account so you can experience the customer booking flow firsthand. We also offer live walkthroughs where we show you the full platform and answer any questions about how it would work for your specific business.
