Compared: eBay, Amazon and general marketplaces
GetBrent vs eBay and Amazon for hire and equipment businesses
General marketplaces are huge, but they are built for shipping parcels to anyone, not for hiring a mini digger to someone ten miles away.
eBay and Amazon are general marketplaces. They are strong at selling boxed goods nationally, and they charge sellers fees on sales. GetBrent is built for local hire and equipment businesses: hire and sale on one profile, customers searching by place, booking requests with dates and rates, and no commission on anything.
Hire, not just sale
A general marketplace sells an item once. GetBrent lets you hire the same item again and again, with availability, lead times and daily or weekly rates.
Local by design
Customers search by town and radius, because nobody collects a plant trailer from the other end of the country.
No commission
Customers deal with you and pay you. GetBrent does not take a percentage of any sale or hire.
