Do you operate from a physical rental location? The Rental House badge is typically reserved for accounts with a brick-and-mortar space where gear is prepped and rented, with features such as dedicated prep areas and available technicians.
Rental House vs. Elite Badge: ShareGrid offers Rental House badges to highlight owners who provide elevated service and amenities at a rental business location. Similar to Elite Badges, these badges help identify high-service providers, improve search visibility, and can increase bookings from filmmakers seeking a more professional rental experience.
