Equipment rental company on Alugoae: no monthly fee
If you run an equipment rental company in Itajaí, Balneário Camboriú or Navegantes, part of your fleet likely sits idle during slow periods. Alugoae works as an extra rental channel for your shop: you list the items you already rent out, set a daily price, usage conditions and a security deposit, and the platform puts your listing in front of people searching in that city. There is no monthly fee or listing cost, which makes the channel worth trying even with just two or three items before expanding.
Listing is free. Each item becomes a separate ad with real photos, a detailed description, daily price and an availability calendar. The clearer the listing, the fewer questions come through chat and the faster the acceptance.
What items from my rental shop can be listed
The open categories are Tools (rotary hammer, concrete mixer, scaffolding), Parties and events (tents, sound equipment, tables), Home and garden (pressure washer, brush cutter), Electronics (projector, speaker), Sports and leisure (bikes, kayaks) and Furniture. Cars, motorcycles and real estate are not accepted.
For a building supply store, the natural starting point is the heavy tool fleet: a 5 kg rotary hammer, a 400-liter concrete mixer or a soil compactor are among the items that weekend DIYers search for regularly. Each listed item competes in the city search without requiring you to manage a separate platform.
Fast acceptance and integrated calendar
When someone requests a booking, the notification arrives in your panel. You review the dates, confirm the equipment is available and accept. The dates are automatically blocked in the calendar, preventing double bookings. The requester's WhatsApp number appears only after you accept, and yours stays hidden until that same moment. For payments made inside the platform, the contact is released only after the Pix payment is confirmed, which must be made within 24 hours of acceptance.
The panel shows a schedule with expected pickups and returns for the day, plus reminders and a rental history. For a rental company already using a spreadsheet or internal system, Alugoae acts as a digital extension: bookings arrive organized, with dates, amounts and agreed conditions in place.
5% commission only on completed rentals
The 5% commission is deducted from the payout to the listing owner and applies only to the daily fees of a rental that reached confirmed return. If a booking is cancelled before acceptance, or if payment is not confirmed within the deadline, no commission is charged. The payout happens once you confirm in the panel that the item has been returned.
Here is the math with a real example: a 400-liter concrete mixer listed at R$ 80 per day, rented for 3 days, generates R$ 240 gross. The 5% commission is R$ 12. The net payout is R$ 228. If that same equipment goes out on 4 bookings in a month, the total net is R$ 912 with no fixed cost added.
Ad review and chat before the first booking
Every listing goes through a review by the Alugoae team before appearing in search results. The process checks whether the description, photos and conditions are clear and whether the item fits one of the accepted categories. For the shop, this acts as an extra filter: anyone who reaches chat has already read the conditions, agreed to them and is looking to rent equipment from your store with real intent to pick it up.
The Alugoae internal chat lets the requester ask questions before submitting a booking. Voltage, required fuel, security deposit amount, hose diameter or cable condition can all be addressed there. With rules clearly written in the listing and answered in chat, acceptance tends to be quicker and returns go more smoothly.
