Who we partner with

Four partner archetypes, one shared goal: more time outside for your guests.

Hospitality & Lodging

Vacation rentals, glamping operators, cabins, and hotels near outdoor destinations. Turn gear delivery into a 5-star amenity and an upsell line on every booking.

Campgrounds & RV Parks

On-site gear concierge and arrival-day delivery. Offer generators, e-bikes, kayaks, awnings, and kid gear as add-ons your guests already wish you had.

Resorts & Outfitters

Ski, marina, bike, and climbing shops. Sync your fleet, fill shoulder-season inventory, and reach travelers who book gear before they book the trip.

Travel & Tourism Boards

Co-marketing for destinations and DMOs. Drive longer stays and local spend by lowering the gear barrier for first-time visitors.

RV accessory partners

We don't compete with RV rental platforms — we make their trips better. Gear Wave delivers the accessories your renters keep asking for, straight to the campsite or pickup point.

Portable generators
E-bikes & scooters
Kayaks, SUPs, canoes
Grills & camp stoves
Awnings & outdoor rugs
Fishing gear
Kid & pet gear
Coolers & ice chests

RV rental platforms, dealers, campground chains, and concierge services — let's talk integration.

Guest discount perk

Bookings via your partner code drop the renter service fee from 8% to 5% — a real reason for guests to use your link.

How "platform take" works

Your share comes out of Gear Wave's fee — never out of the owner's payout. Owners always get paid in full.

What partners get

Referral revenue

Earn a share of every booking your guests place through Gear Wave — recurring, transparent, paid monthly.

Co-marketing

Joint landing pages, email features, and social spotlights. We feature you across our launch regions.

White-glove onboarding

We photograph, list, price, and manage your inventory. You keep your team focused on guests.

How it works

Step 1

Intro call

15-minute fit call. We learn your guest mix, location, and what gear demand looks like today.

Step 2

Pilot region

Soft launch in one of your properties or campsites. We test demand and refine the offer with you.

Step 3

Investors

The U.S. outdoor recreation economy is over $1.1T annually, but most rentals still happen on paper and clipboards. Gear Wave is building the rails to bring peer-to-peer and small-business rentals online — starting with the Pacific Northwest.

We're talking with mission-aligned angels and seed funds. If that's you, we'd love to chat.
