Transparent explanation of:
- Commission structure
- Service fees
- Payout timelines
Simple. Transparent. Fair for everyone. #
At Rentro, we believe pricing should be clear, predictable, and aligned with value — not hidden or confusing.
Our model is designed to protect host earnings while ensuring guests always get competitive, market-driven pricing.
How Rentro Pricing Works #
Rentro operates on a dual-fee model, but with a key principle:
We don’t inflate prices — we align incentives.
- Hosts set their own base price
- Guests see transparent total pricing before checkout
- Rentro earns only when bookings are successful
For Hosts (Property Owners) #
1. Host Commission #
What it is:
A small percentage is deducted only after a successful booking
Why it exists:
This commission powers:
- Platform exposure & marketing
- Verified guest network
- Secure payments & fraud protection
- 24/7 support
How it’s structured:
- Competitive, lower-than-industry average
- Scales with performance (high-performing hosts may qualify for reduced rates)
Key reassurance:
You remain fully in control of your pricing.
Rentro does not mark up your listing price.
2. Your Earnings (What You Take Home) #
