Omni!

Hey ProductHunt! Very excited to be featured here today as we're launching Omni Rentals -- the community here has been unbelievably supportive since our very first launch. Today we're unveiling something we've been working towards since Day One of Omni: empowering you to make money on things you own, and access everything you don't. We have 100k+ items that members manage in Omni, and today we're giving them the power to list them for rentals in a few clicks. Every item is verified and inspected by our team before it hits the rental marketplace, and we handle everything (really, everything) for the owners. No meeting up with the renter, no dealing with payment, no negotiations -- we handle it all. As a renter, this means you now have near-instant access to anything you could want, and you can pay for only the time you need it. You no longer need to buy a drill when you need it for a day, or buy an air mattress when your friends come into town -- you can rent them in Omni and only pay for the time you need them. We handle the delivery & pickup and the items can be at your door in as little as 2 hours. What I'm most excited about here is empowering new experiences -- even a few hours into the launch, there are kayaks, paddle boards, designers clothes, bikes, surf boards, ladders, drills, tents, and 1,000+ other items available to rent. We want to empower everyone to access these items. We believe in a future of Access > Ownership, and this is the first big step towards that vision. I put together some more thoughts on where we've been and where we're going here: https://medium.com/@delk/what-we... We'll all be around all day on ProductHunt to answer questions, fire away!

This makes a lot of sense. If I want to go camping, I can drive to REI and pay $25/ day for a sleeping bag, or rent someone else's through omni for like $10/ day with pickup /delivery. If I own the gear, then I'm not going to use it every weekend so you get to recoup the cost. The only big ? for me is insurance for damage but it can be figured out

Oh, man. This is fantastic work. What a way to help people earn a little side money on what they already have.
