ThrottleShare vs Outdoorsy
Outdoorsy is an RV and camper rental marketplace. ThrottleShare is a powersports rental marketplace for ATVs, UTVs, jet skis, and snowmobiles. They serve different use cases — but if you want to rent a powersports vehicle, ThrottleShare is purpose-built for it while Outdoorsy has virtually no powersports inventory.
What Each Platform Actually Does
Outdoorsy built its business around Class A motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and camper vans. Its entire insurance, verification, and listing flow is optimized for RVs.
ThrottleShare is built exclusively for powersports: ATVs, UTVs, jet skis, snowmobiles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, golf carts, and off-road machines. The booking flow, safety guidelines, and owner tools are purpose-built for these vehicle types.
Outdoorsy Charges Owners Up to 25% in Fees
Outdoorsy charges RV owners a 5–8% host fee on every booking, plus renters pay an additional 15–20% service fee on top. On a $1,000 rental, Outdoorsy extracts up to $250 in fees before either party sees value.
On ThrottleShare, powersports owners keep 100% of their listed price. Renters pay a 10% service fee on top of the owner's rate — that's the only cut the platform takes.
Powersports on Outdoorsy: Virtually Nonexistent
Search for an ATV, jet ski, or snowmobile on Outdoorsy and you'll find nearly nothing. The platform wasn't built for it and doesn't support it meaningfully. ThrottleShare has powersports listings in hundreds of cities across all 48 states.
The Verdict
If you're renting an RV or camper, Outdoorsy is a legitimate platform. If you want a powersports machine, ThrottleShare is the only peer-to-peer marketplace built specifically for it.
