FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+ WHAT IS TRUSTEDSHARE?

It’s a private sharing platform for renting or sharing vacation homes, boats, RVs and cars/trucks. It has all the tools and features needed – from managing availability and bookings, to payment, payout and reporting.

+ WHAT IS PRIVATE SHARING?

Private sharing means the property, boat, RV or car is available for booking only by those who have the invite or secure link - no strangers, only people you know and trust. There's greater privacy, security, and peace of mind for both owners and guests.

+ HOW DOES TRUSTEDSHARE WORK?

For Homeowners/Hosts:

  • Sign up, list your property, boat or RV then invite the people in your network; they will receive a secure link. When they sign-up, they can see the asset details & the availability, and can make a booking. After approving a booking, the guests will pay, and the payout will be sent to you after their stay.

For Guests

  • When you sign up, you can see the assets listed by the host/owner who invited you. When you make a booking, a request will be sent to the owner; once approved, pay to secure the booking and you're on your way to your getaway.

FOR OWNERS & HOSTS

+ WHO IS IT FOR?

Owners and hosts in the platform include

  • Those who prefer to rent to or share only with people they know. Though their property is mainly for personal enjoyment, they rent or share whenever they like. The platform has all the tools they need to make renting or sharing easy – calendar and booking, payment, payout and reporting. (Private sharing helps recoup ownership costs (e.g., taxes, licenses, maintenance), with peace of mind and with less pressure on having it perfectly guest-ready.)

  • Families or friends/colleagues who co-own an asset. They need an easy-to-use system that integrates managing the calendar and booking, messaging, and payment.

  • Families or friends/colleagues who like to exchange assets with each other – free or for a fee. The “group” feature enables them to see, book, and enjoy each other’s vacation home, boat, or RV easily and seamlessly.
  • Hosts in commercial public platforms like AirBnb who have a network of return guests and referrals. Free hosting and listing (and only a 5% service fee for guests) gives them the best value since they get similar features and functionality. Also, it syncs with the availability in the AirBnb calendar by pulling booked dates.

+ WHY SHOULD I JOIN TRUSTEDSHARE?

One easy-to-use platform for all your assets. List and rent out your home, boat, car and RV with as many friends as you like. You can form a group with people you choose, making it easy for everyone in the group to see and book each other’s property.

Peace of mind. You know exactly who you’re sharing with, and can rest assured it’s in good hands. Plus it is one of the world’s most secure and private asset-sharing service.

Zero cost. List as many assets as you want, invite as many friends as you want, and have as many bookings as you can – all for free.

Extra income. Earn extra income when you’re not using your property, and help offset ownership costs. When taxes and licenses, storage and maintenance add up, it can be heavy on the wallet.

Your rules. You decide what assets to share, who to share them with, the availability, how they are used, and for how much.

+ HOW MUCH DOES TRUSTEDSHARE COST?

It’s free for owners/hosts. Unlimited assets, unlimited invites, unlimited bookings.

+ HOW DO I LIST MY PROPERTY?

You can do it yourself - click Listings on your Dashboard to get started.

If you have a listing on another platform, send it to us at info@trustedshare.com and we’ll do it for you.

+ HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE RECEIVED A BOOKING?

You will be notified via text or email.

+ DO I NEED TO CONFIRM ALL BOOKINGS RECEIVED?

It is up to you to approve or decline a booking request.

+ I HAVE A COMMERCIAL LISTING. CAN I ALSO LIST IN TRUSTEDSHARE?

Yes. As long as you send an invite to the guest or renter.

It's the best deal for those with a strong network of return guests and good referrals - zero cost to the host and 5% service fee to the guest. It's what you should use to make your vacation rental, RV and sailboat available to your network.

For property rentals in AirBnb, there is a calendar-sync feature - this means booked dates in AirBnb will be shown as unavailable.

+ CAN I USE TRUSTEDSHARE FOR RESORT PROPERTY OR TIME-SHARE?

Yes. You have full control of choosing when and how much time you are making your place available to guests.

+ MY CONDO RULES SAY THAT I CAN'T USE AIRBNB OR VRBO. CAN I STILL USE TrustedShare?

Yes! With TrustedShare, your property is not a commercial asset nor "publicly listed." It is made available only to those you invited.

FOR GUESTS

+ HOW DO I JOIN?

Sign-up here.

+ HOW DO I KNOW THE HOMES, BOATS, RVS AND OTHER VEHICLES THAT I CAN BOOK?

  2. Click "Request to Book" and wait for the owner/host to accept. They have the discretion to accept or decline without the need to explain their reason. 

  3. Pay for the booking to confirm. 

+ HOW MUCH DOES TRUSTEDSHARE COST?

Signing-up is free. Just pay for your booking plus a 5% service fee. (The cost of the booking may include local taxes, cleaning fee, security or damage deposit.)

A 3% credit card fee will be added on the total amount.
