Earnings
What you earn, what renters pay, and how it is handled.
Setting your price
You choose the daily rental price and the refundable security deposit for every item you list. Most lenders price between 8% and 15% of the item's retail value per day. Higher demand items or weekend bookings can be priced toward the top of that range.
What the renter pays
A renter's total is made up of:
- Your daily rental price × the number of days
- A refundable security deposit, which you set
- Any delivery or pickup fee you choose to add
Your payout
When a booking is completed and the item is returned in good condition, the rental earnings are recorded against your booking. Payouts are handled by the RentWear admin team on the schedule shown in your Closet. If a return is late or damaged, part or all of the deposit may be used to cover the issue before any payout is released.
Tips to earn more

- Keep your calendar up to date so approved bookings never clash.
- Respond to requests quickly — fast approvals lead to more repeat renters.
- List items for popular occasions such as weddings, matric dances and traditional celebrations.
