ThrottleShare is a peer-to-peer powersports rental marketplace based in Phoenix, Arizona. We connect vehicle owners with renters who want to enjoy jet skis, pontoons, UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, and other powersports vehicles without the cost of ownership. Think of it as Airbnb for powersports.

Browse available vehicles by category or location, select your dates, and send a booking request to the owner. Once approved, pay securely through our platform, coordinate pickup with the owner, and enjoy your adventure. Return the vehicle at the agreed time and leave a review.

ThrottleShare offers jet skis, pontoon boats, UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, dump trucks, and other powersports and recreational vehicles. Our inventory is growing every day as new owners across the Phoenix metro area join the platform.

Pricing is set by individual vehicle owners and varies based on the type of vehicle, age, condition, and rental duration. You can filter by price when browsing listings. Many vehicles start under $200 per day, which is significantly less than what traditional rental shops charge in Scottsdale and Phoenix.

No. ThrottleShare is a marketplace platform — we facilitate the connection, payment, and signed liability waiver. We do not provide insurance, underwrite coverage, or act as an insurance broker. Important: most personal auto, motorcycle, and powersports insurance policies EXCLUDE rental-to-others activity. Owners may need a commercial or rental endorsement on their policy. Renters should not assume their personal policy extends to a rented vehicle — particularly across vehicle classes (an auto policy does not cover a rented motorcycle or jet ski). Confirm coverage with your insurance broker before listing or booking.

All users confirm an email and a Stripe-backed payment method before they can rent or list. We offer secure payments through Stripe, in-app messaging so you never need to share personal contact info, and a review system that builds reputation over time. ThrottleShare does not perform in-person identity or credential verification — owners set their own renter-approval requirements and may require proof of license, age, or experience.

Cancellation policies are set by individual owners and displayed on each listing. Common options include flexible (full refund up to 24 hours before), moderate (full refund up to 5 days before), and strict (50% refund up to 7 days before). Always check the listing details before booking.

Sign up for a free account, verify your identity, and create a listing for your vehicle. Add photos, set your pricing and availability, and publish. Once your listing is live, renters in the Phoenix metro area can find and book your vehicle. There is no cost to list.

Renters pay securely through Stripe at booking confirmation. Owners receive their payout — 80% of the rental total — directly to their bank account or debit card within 2 business days of the rental. No invoicing, no waiting, no checks. ThrottleShare takes a small service fee per completed booking — that is the only fee, ever.

Delivery options depend on the individual owner. Some owners offer delivery and pickup within the Phoenix metro area for an additional fee, while others require you to pick up the vehicle at a designated location. Check each listing for delivery details.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and rent on ThrottleShare. Some vehicle types may require you to be 21 or older, and individual owners may set their own age requirements. A valid driver's license is required for all rentals.

Document it with photos and notify the owner immediately through the ThrottleShare message system. Damage is handled directly between owner and renter per the rental agreement. A security deposit (set by the owner) may be held and applied toward repair costs.

ThrottleShare is currently available in the greater Phoenix, Arizona metro area, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, and Glendale. We plan to expand to additional markets across Arizona and the Southwest in the near future.

While prior experience is helpful, it is not always required. Many owners provide a brief orientation before handing over the vehicle. You are responsible for operating the vehicle safely and following all local laws and regulations. Some owners may require proof of experience for high-performance vehicles.

You can reach our support team by emailing [email protected]. We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. For urgent issues during an active rental, use the in-app messaging system to reach our team quickly.
