<p><span style="font-weight: 400">This can vary, you want to make sure that you are pricing your RV so that you aren&#8217;t losing money with a rental, understand the time it takes you to prep and get ready and make sure that you factor that in. If you plan on doing deliveries for your RV understand the time and distance costs involved and charge accordingly. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">A great way to get an idea of the market price in your area is to check out a local RV rental dealership (online or drop by), understand what they are renting and how your RV can stand out and be competitive. Also, do a quick search on Outdoorsy for similar RVs to yours and check out the price. Don&#8217;t forget seasonal and event pricing, create special packages or pricing for those dates so that you can maximize your potential earnings.</span></p>


How do I decide the daily rate?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">There are many different services that owners offer at an extra price. Cleaning fees, pet fees, additional camping gear, surf boards, bicycles and delivery fees are just a few examples of additional services that owners like to add. The best way to charge for those is to create add-ons to your listing. You can make these add-ons selectable during the checkout process or you can make them mandatory on each booking. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Follow these steps to create an add-on: </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Select the applicable listing by clicking on listings at the top of your owner dashboard. </span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">On the left hand side of your screen, select Add-ons </span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Click on “Add new Add-on”</span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Create a name and description for your add-on, a price and whether it will be a daily charge, a required charge and or paid upon return. </span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Press on save add-on. </span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Your add on will now appear at the bottom of your listing so that renters can take a look at the extras you offer! </span></p>

Can I track where renters take my vehicle?


<p>The amount on your 1099-K represents your tax liability as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).</p>



<p>The IRS requires Outdoorsy to base our 1099-K reporting on the gross reportable payments that renters make to our platform.&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li><strong>Included in 1099-K reporting: </strong>For each rental, the amount a renter pays for the vehicle (nightly rate multiplied by the number of nights), as well as any add-ons. This is <em>before</em> the owner service fee has been subtracted.</li><li><strong>Not included in 1099-K reporting:</strong> The amount renters pay directly to Outdoorsy for insurance, as a renter service fee, and as sales/transactional tax.</li></ul>



<h4><strong>Why include the owner service fee on 1099-Ks?</strong></h4>



<p>Because it doesn’t come out of the customer’s payment to Outdoorsy. It comes out of our payout to you.</p>



<p>Again, the IRS requires us to base our 1099-K reporting on renters’ payments and not owners’ payouts.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This means your 1099-K will differ from your total payouts for the year in your Outdoorsy account. The difference is the owner service fee. It’s included in 1099-K reporting. It’s not included in your total payouts for the year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This could change in the future. We watch tax laws closely so we can help you comply. We’ll implement any changes that impact you and your tax liability.</p>



<h4><strong>Reminder about service fees</strong></h4>



<p>Both RV owners and renters pay a service fee. Renters pay a percentage of their rental cost. Owners, a percentage of their payout. This helps enable Outdoorsy to maintain a secure and updated platform.</p>


Where’d the taxable amount on my 1099-K come from?
