From manual to automated
Running rental bookings through a shared calendar, phone calls and email means every reservation passes through a person. RentalTide takes the booking, the payment, the waiver and the reminder on its own, for $0 a month and a flat 4.9% per transaction.
Bookings around the clock, automated payments, real-time availability. No credit card required.
Where bookings leak
None of these tools is bad at its own job. They are simply not rental systems, so the parts a rental needs (inventory, payment, waiver, reminder) end up being done by hand.
Google Calendar is designed to hold appointments, and it does that well. A rental also needs live inventory, a checkout, a signed waiver and a deposit, and in a calendar-run operation those sit somewhere else, so every booking gets entered twice.
Only available during business hours, requires staff time, no digital records. Every call that lands while the counter is busy is a booking somebody has to chase back.
Slow response times, missed emails, no payment integration. Availability lives in whoever answered last, which is how two customers end up holding the same boat.

What operators report after switching
Figures reflect RentalTide customer results; outcomes vary by operation.
Getting started
Most operators are taking online bookings the same day they sign up, with free onboarding support if they want it.
Create your RentalTide account and import your inventory in five minutes.
Start accepting bookings around the clock, with instant payments and real-time availability.
Capture the bookings you were missing and free your week up for running the business.
Every booking that arrives by calendar invite, phone call or email has to be entered somewhere a second time, and that second entry is where the double bookings and the missed deposits come from. RentalTide holds one record from enquiry to payout, so there is nothing to re-type.
Questions
The three questions operators ask before they move, answered with figures rather than adjectives.
We will not quote you a figure we cannot show you the working for.

Run your own numbers against those rather than against an industry average.

Every cost on this page is RentalTide's own published price, current on 24 August 2026, and every percentage is arithmetic on it. We quote no industry average and no third-party research, because we could not show you the source for one. Outcome figures are RentalTide customer results and vary by operation. Google Calendar is described here only by what a calendar application is designed to do; nothing on this page should be read as a claim about features Google's product does or does not have. Product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners, are used here only to identify those products, and do not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them.
