How Much Can I Make Renting Out My ATV?
Renting your ATV on ThrottleShare earns you 100% of your listed rate — typically $89–$220/day. Listing at $150/day and renting just 10 weekends per year generates $3,000 in rental income with zero platform fees. Many owners cover their full annual insurance and storage costs with just 6–8 rentals.
Income Estimates by Rental Frequency
| Rentals/Year | At $100/day | At $150/day | At $200/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 days | $500 | $750 | $1,000 |
| 10 days | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 |
| 20 days | $2,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 |
| 30 days | $3,000 | $4,500 | $6,000 |
All income goes to the owner. ThrottleShare charges renters a 10% service fee — not deducted from owner earnings.
Covering Your Ownership Costs
Average annual ATV ownership costs: insurance ($300–$800) + storage if applicable ($600–$1,800) + maintenance ($200–$600) = $1,100–$3,200/year in recurring overhead.
At $150/day, just 8–22 rental days covers this entirely. Every rental day beyond that is profit.
