How the money works
You set your hourly price
Prices currently display in US dollars — we're a US-built platform expanding out, and we'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise.
Guests pay by card. You're paid in Australian dollars (AUD).
Straight to your local bank account through Stripe, the same payments company behind Shopify and Airbnb-scale marketplaces.
You keep 100% of your price
Our revenue comes from a small service fee guests pay on top — your payout is your price. No listing fee, no host commission, no subscription.
How hosting works
1. List in about ten minutes
Our listing wizard builds your page for you. Already on another platform? Paste the link and we import your photos and description automatically.
2. You control everything
Your calendar, your rules, your minimum booking length, your guest count. Approve the bookings you want.
3. Guests come, swim, and leave
Hourly bookings mean afternoon pool parties, birthday swims and family sessions. Payouts are initiated after each completed booking; bank arrival times may vary.
Founding hosts wanted across Australia
The first pools listed in each city get founding-host status: 0% host fees, locked in forever.
From the founder
Pool Rental Near Me is opening in Australia, and we're doing it the same way we grew in the United States: hosts keep 100% of what they charge. No listing fee, no host commission, no subscription. 0% host fees — not introductory, not "for a limited time." Forever, for our founding Australian hosts.
Why list a pool nobody's renting yet?
Honest answer: pool sharing in Australia is early. That's exactly the opportunity. The hosts who listed first in California and Texas are the ones with the reviews, the repeat guests, and the top search spots today. Founding hosts in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane will own that position as demand arrives — and demand follows supply in this market, not the other way around.

What hosting looks like
You control everything: your calendar, your rules, your minimum booking length, your guest count. Hourly rentals mean afternoon pool parties, birthday swims, family sessions — guests come, swim, and leave. Hosts tell us the surprise isn't the money; it's how routine it becomes. Australia has one of the highest backyard-pool rates on earth - and almost none of them earn a cent.
