How Hullio Works

Secure. Simple. Transparent.

Hullio is a Miami-based boat rental marketplace built around a lean, fixed-fee model.

Flat $5.99 platform fee per booking side. No percentage commissions. No off-platform payments.

Built lean so pricing stays fair.

Why This
Model Matters

Most platforms increase their revenue as booking prices rise. Hullio does not.

That means a $500 booking and a $5,000 booking follow the same simple economics. Predictable pricing. Clear incentives. No hidden percentage escalation.

Common Questions

Straight answers on pricing, booking, refunds, and support.

How can Hullio charge just $5.99?+

Hullio was built intentionally lean. Instead of scaling revenue through percentage commissions, we charge a clear $5.99 per booking side. We do not operate on a high-burn, high-commission model. We keep the platform focused and efficient so pricing stays predictable for both renters and owners. This does not mean cutting corners. Payments are processed securely through Stripe, bookings remain on-platform, and structured support and dispute workflows are built into the system. Our goal is simple: get more people on the water without layering on unnecessary costs. We believe the rental market does not need another percentage platform. It needs a simpler one.

What does the $5.99 fee cover?+

It supports on-platform checkout, booking records, messaging tools, and support and dispute workflows. It does not include taxes, deposits, captain fees, fuel, or owner-defined charges.

Is payment secure?+

Yes. Payments are processed through Stripe. Booking requests are authorized first and captured when approved under Hullio’s booking flow.

What happens if a booking is canceled?+

Each listing displays its cancellation policy. Renter cancellations follow the selected policy. Owner or mechanical cancellations provide a full renter refund, including the platform fee.

Does Hullio include insurance?+

Hullio does not currently sell or arrange trip insurance in the booking flow. Boat owners are responsible for maintaining required insurance.

What if something goes wrong?+

Signed-in users can contact Hullio Support through the platform. Hullio provides structured support and dispute workflows while trip operations remain between renter and owner.
