In order to provide a safe, secure environment for your financial information and other sensitive data, towlos currently uses Stripe. Although Stripe is more expensive than other platforms that process financial transactions, we liked their approach to cybersecurity and data protection. Companies such as Amazon, Lyft, Instacart, Salesforce, and Shopify also use Stripe.

Yes, as long as the host offers them. Towlos gives trailer hosts the autonomy to set their own pricing and multi-day discounts.
Once you've submitted a rental request, you can chat with the Host about pickup, hitch setup, or anything else. You get a full refund up to 48 hours before your trip, or within an hour of requesting for a last-minute rental. Have a question before you request? Ask Toby, the towlos virtual assistant.
Host chat is available after a rental request to protect our Hosts' privacy and keep spam out of their messages.
Hosts
No, with the towlos Launch plan, there is no fee to list a trailer for rent, and you can begin earning rental income immediately.
Towlos helps you vet your potential guest by requiring them to answer 4 questions. These responses help you understand their prior towing experience, the vehicle they are using to tow your trailer, the cargo and its approximate weight, and the destination and mileage they plan to travel. This information gets emailed to you, along with the rental request notification.
Their request also opens towlos Chat, so you can ask any follow-up questions before you approve.
There are 3 primary ways your trailer is protected:
- The refundable Security Deposit you set per trailer should cover 95% of all incidental damage.
- Liability protection is covered through the guest's insurance policy on their tow vehicle.
- Towlos Protect+ Insurance is completely free for you as a Host - Guests pay for the coverage, but you get the benefits. Protect+ provides up to $35,000 in coverage for trailer damage, professional claims support, and faster resolution when damage occurs. Making your trailer eligible for Protect+ also attracts more confident renters, leading to more bookings. Protect+ is turned on automatically for eligible trailers.
Once you accept the return from the Rental Record, your earnings will be directly deposited into your bank account, often within 1-2 business days.
