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!

@delk How is this not getting more upvotes? You just turned storage from a money suck to a revenue source.

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

@evankimbrell Exactly! Your question about insurance is our big value add -- our Omni Shield coverage protects your items not just while they are stored in Omni, but while they are rented out as well. This means that if anything happens to your items, we have your back and will work to make it right.

Oh, man. This is fantastic work. What a way to help people earn a little side money on what they already have.
Casey Richardson
GREAT concept. What's the plan to expand this? Are you going to franchise this out to other regions or roll it out yourselves?

@casey_richardson We'll own the rollout -- planning on expanding to new markets soon. Where are you based?
Casey Richardson
@delk Based in San Diego, but frequently in Los Angeles and Las Vegas on business also. Would be really rad to see this come to SD/LA. Major housing shortage in SD. Lots of people needing to store items to free up space in spare bedrooms, etc. to capitalize on the booming short-term rental demand.

@casey_richardson For sure. San Diego isn't in the immediate expansion plans, but definitely a city we want to get to. Thank you!

Hey @delk, blocked from signing up because I am not in the zipcode. Why not just let me sign up and then alert me when I can use you in my zipcode? If you just block, I will probably just forget about you guys. :( https://imgur.com/a/e20Zu

@joshdance Hey Josh, this is a bug that we have a fix going out for shortly. Your account was created, that error message is incorrect. We do exactly what you said -- waitlist you for the service in your zip code :) Sorry about that!
Josh Lewis!
@delk @joshdance I agree completely that it's annoying I don't know that you don't serve my zipcode until after I've entered my email address and password, etc. I understand this is a tactic to get my email address early, but I'd rather be _asked_ if I want to give my email address to be notified instead of "Well, we don't serve you yet, but we already have your email address, so now we're gonna contact you." See the difference in the experience?
Joshua Dance
@delk ah. Great! Thanks!
Joshua Dance
@delk @joshlewis I see your point. I signed up and want to be contacted, so I don't really have an issue with it. Cheers!

Congrats on the launch team! I'm seeing lots of items (e.g. air purifiers, chairs) in the beta, can you talk about what other items people are sharing with each other?
Ryan Delk

@eriktorenberg For sure. We've got 1,000+ items available for rent today, with hundreds more being added each day. A few of the most popular items from the Rentals Beta: bikes, tents, drones, VR headsets, sous vide machine, boosted boards, heaters / fans, surfboards, drills, ladders and a ton of fashion items (designer dresses / purses / shoes / etc.).
