How the company works

What GigRentals is, who pays whom, and why we are not a rental counter or an insurance company. Read this before the engineer pages.

GigRentals LLC is a California marketplace. One door is for people who own a car and want to run a small rideshare-rental business. The other door is for people who want a car so they can learn gig work (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash). We do not take title. We do not employ drivers. We do not dispatch rides or set those fares.

Money, in one paragraph

The driver pays about $25 a day out the door. Gas is theirs. A per-trip insurance binder is issued in the driver’s name; the car owner is additional insured. Host pay is in arrears on Stripe Connect. Our desk cannot see card numbers or Stripe balances. An estimate on the homepage is a cap, not a check.

Insurance, in one paragraph

We do not sit as the named insured on a master commercial policy (that is the HyreCar-shaped hole). Each booking calls an InsurTech (Lula, Tint, or ABI in production; simulated in demo). California Personal Vehicle Sharing Program — Insurance Code § 11580.24. Quiet miles: the binder. Loud miles (gig app on): Uber/Lyft/DoorDash first. Claims go to the carrier, not our ledger.

Two investor conversations

  • Take America — institutions, licenses, policy programs, multi-state packets. /investors tab one.
  • Family and friends — illustrative $5k car slots, 50/50 of a $1,000/month cap. Not a security offering. /investors tab two.
