HOW

Rent out directly by controlling the agreement, the handover, and the claim.
No platforms needed — just clear documentation and a simple process.

This page shows the practical setup: how direct rentals work, how risk is handled, and how Safe Standard fits in.

Included with Safe Standard (Important)

Each purchase includes one (1) set of item-specific custom rental terms, written as your own terms and adapted to your exact asset and jurisdiction.

Delivery: emailed within 24 hours after you submit the completed order form.
Limit: valid one time per purchase.
Not legal advice. You are responsible for review and use.

1. Decide What You Rent Out

You can rent out almost anything you own and control:

• property or rooms

• vehicles or mobility assets

• event equipment or activity setups

• tools, items, or equipment

The asset determines the terms — not a platform.

2. Create Demand (Free)

People don’t need platforms. They need visibility.

Create demand through:

• social posts (before/after, availability, pricing)

• local groups and forums

• your own website / Google Business profile

• repeat customers and referrals

• partnerships (workshops, venues, communities)

Platforms can be discovery — but they should not be the system.

3. Control the Deal

Direct rentals stay simple when you control:

• pricing and deposit

• pickup/delivery and timing

• who can rent (requirements)

• payment method and reference

• what happens if something goes wrong

Clarity beats negotiation.

4. Rental Terms (Included — Item-Specific)

Your rental terms must fit the exact asset you rent out.

With Safe Standard, you can:

• write your own terms, or

• use the included item-specific custom rental terms (recommended for speed and clarity)

How to get your custom terms

1. Fill in the order form (choose: Property / Vehicle / Event / Item)

2. Send it by email

3. Receive your custom rental terms within 24 hours (PDF + editable file)

The terms are written as your own terms (not platform terms).
Included once per purchase.

How Damage Is Handled

Direct rentals work when damage handling is structured and evidence-based.

Safe Standard uses a simple chain:
Agreement → Checklist → Photos (only if needed) → Damage Invoice

This makes disputes easier to resolve and claims easier to enforce.

Damage decision flow

• Return with no notes?
  → No damage claim. No photos needed.

• Notes/deviations at handover?
  → Take clear photos/video at handover.
  → Return is compared to those notes/photos.

• Damage occurs?
  → Document it properly.
  → Issue a damage invoice with a cost breakdown.

No platform needed. Just documentation.

How This Applies in Practice

Vehicles

• Driver requirements set upfront

• Fuel/battery noted at handover

• Damage invoice supported by checklist + photos if required

Property

• Condition locked at handover

• Clear rules reduce disputes (noise, cleaning, late checkout)

Event equipment

• Setup and safety rules stated clearly

• Weather rules defined

• Responsibility during use is written

Items/tools

• Accessories counted

• Return condition defined

• Loss/theft handling pre-agreed

5. Insurance (What Actually Matters)

Insurance doesn’t replace documentation. It depends on it.

What matters:

• your liability coverage

• renter responsibility written clearly

• condition at handover documented

• a process for claims

Safe Standard supports the part insurance can’t: proof.

6. Tax Reporting (Your Responsibility)

Direct rentals don’t remove responsibility.

You are responsible for:

• reporting income

• tracking costs

• keeping receipts and records

• following local rules

Platforms don’t solve this — they just take a cut.

7. Handover Correctly

The handover is where most problems are prevented.

At handover:

• complete the Focus Checklist

• add notes only if deviations exist

• take photos/video only if deviations exist

• both parties sign

No notes = clean condition = simple rental.

8. Get Paid Directly

Use whatever payment method fits your operation:

• bank transfer (with a required reference)

• card payments

• cash (requires signatures)

Keep payment clear. Keep records simple.

9. Repeat

Once the structure is set:

• repeat the same process

• reduce disputes over time

• build repeat customers

• keep the margin

Why This Works

Platforms don’t create responsibility — they just manage traffic.

Direct rentals work when you control:

• the agreement

• the condition at handover

• the evidence for claims

You stay in control.
You keep the margin.
