Tell us what you have, your price, and when it's available. Your listing goes live immediately — no waiting. Free to list, always.
You get notified when someone wants your gear. Review their dates and message, then confirm or decline. You're always in control.
Renters come to your location — you choose the pickup spot. Hand off the gear, collect payment through TideShare, done. Want to offer delivery? Set your own radius and fee, and that delivery fee goes straight to you.
After the rental, they bring it back. TideShare handles payment and takes just 15%. Your surfboard sitting in the garage earns nothing — this fixes that.
Renters always come to you
Renters come to you — you choose the pickup spot. Or offer delivery: set your own radius and fee, and that delivery fee goes straight into your pocket on top of the rental. Never required, always your call.
Every renter agrees to our Terms of Service before booking — making them financially liable for damage beyond normal wear. Here's exactly what happens if something goes wrong.
Hold placed after booking
When you set a deposit, TideShare places a card authorization hold on the renter's card after they pay the rental — not a charge, just a hold.
Document the return
Take a quick photo before and after handoff. If damage is visible, you have the evidence you need to file a claim from your dashboard.
Claim if gear is damaged
Gear came back damaged? Click "Claim deposit" in your dashboard within 7 days. The hold is captured and transferred to you.
Release if all clear
No damage? Click "Release deposit" and the hold is voided — the renter never sees a charge. Holds also auto-expire after 7 days if you take no action.
What if something gets damaged?
Renters agree to our Terms of Service before booking, which holds them liable for damage beyond normal wear and tear. You can set a security deposit when you list your gear — TideShare places an authorization hold on the renter's card at booking. If gear comes back damaged, claim the deposit from your dashboard. If everything's fine, release it and the hold is voided.
How do I get paid?
No charge is made to the renter until you confirm their request. Once you confirm, TideShare collects payment and releases your 85% cut within 24 hours of the rental ending. Direct deposit to your bank account.
Can I block off dates?
Yes — you set your availability when you list. Just describe when the gear is available (e.g. "weekends only" or "most days May–Sept") and renters will see that before requesting.
Do I have to deliver the gear?
No. The default is renter pickup — they come to you. You can optionally offer delivery: set your own radius and fee, and that delivery fee goes directly to you on top of the rental. It's never required.
What gear can I list?
Anything a Charleston visitor might need: surfboards, kayaks, paddleboards, golf clubs, bikes, beach chairs, fishing gear, camping gear, and more. If you're not sure, just submit — we'll let you know.
