For Renters

How Renting Works

Renting on Pahiram is straightforward. Here's how it works, step by step.

01

Search & Discover

Browse thousands of listings across the Philippines. Filter by category, location, price, and availability. Every listing includes photos, specs, pricing, and real reviews from past renters.

02

Connect & Confirm

Found what you need? Message the owner directly through our in-app chat. Ask questions, confirm details, and agree on pickup or delivery arrangements — all within the platform.

03

Book & Pay

Select your rental dates and pay securely through Pahiram. Choose from GCash, Maya, bank transfer, credit/debit card, or cash on pickup. Your payment is held in escrow until the rental is complete.

04

Pickup or Delivery

Meet the owner at the agreed location or arrange delivery. Inspect the item together and document its condition before you take it. The app guides you through a quick handoff checklist.

05

Enjoy

The item is yours to use for the rental period. If anything comes up, reach the owner through in-app messaging anytime.

06

Return & Review

Return the item on time and in the same condition. Once the owner confirms everything is good, your escrow payment is released to them. Leave a review to help the community.

For Lenders

How Lending Works

Turn your idle equipment into income. Here's how to get started.

01

Create Your Store

Sign up and claim your branded storefront at your-name.pahiram.ph. Set up your profile, verify your identity, and tell renters about yourself and your equipment.

02

List Your Items

Add your equipment with photos, descriptions, specs, and pricing. Set hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Offer multi-day discounts to attract longer bookings. Manage your availability calendar.

03

Receive Requests

Get notified when someone wants to rent your equipment. Review their profile, verification status, and rental history before accepting.

04

Confirm & Handoff

Accept the booking and coordinate pickup or delivery through in-app messaging. Document the item's condition together during handoff.

05

Get Paid

Payments are processed securely through Pahiram. Once the rental completes and the item is returned, funds are released to your preferred payout method.

06

Grow Your Business

Collect reviews, build your reputation, and expand your listings. The more you rent, the more visibility your store gets.
