What Miet24 does

Miet24 is a German online rental marketplace operated by Cardome GmbH since May 19, 2026, when Cardome acquired the platform from the prior operating entity (Miet24 GmbH). The platform connects rental providers and renters across more than 352 categories of equipment, vehicles, event gear, and other rentable goods, serving the German-speaking market. The company is headquartered in Bonn with a service office in Berlin, and is led by Managing Director Finn Marinus Hoenig.

The core product is a multi-category rental marketplace with ~11,123 active listings supplied by 4,784 verified providers, attracting approximately 1.8 million monthly visitors. The platform combines provider-side SaaS tooling (subscription-based listings, premium placements, a directory product called "Branchenbuch") with consumer-side booking and payment infrastructure. Transaction-grade integrations with VHV (insurance), Stripe (payments), and CRIF (credit checks) sit inside the rental flow. The company also operates two strategic sub-brands — Shary for peer-to-peer carsharing and Autoabo for car subscription — extending the platform from transactional goods rental into mobility.

Miet24 makes money through four integrated revenue streams: (1) tiered monthly subscription fees paid by providers, ranging from €15 per article at one listing down to €3 per article at 101+ listings; (2) premium add-ons for elevated listing visibility; (3) commissions on completed rental transactions; and (4) payment processing fees. The two-sided business model links recurring SaaS revenue from providers with transaction-linked revenue from end renters, targeting both B2C commercial rental companies and C2C individual lenders.

Revenue model

1. Provider Subscription Fees: Providers pay a monthly subscription fee based on the number of articles/listings. Volume tiers range from €15/article for 1 article down to €3/article for 101–3000+ articles. Additional location fees apply at 70% of article price per extra location. Discounts of 10% for 12-month contracts and 20% for 24-month contracts are available. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. Premium Listing Add-ons: Optional paid boosts for provider listings: Highlight (€4/article/month), TopRank (€7/article/month), Hot & New (€10/article/month), Website Link (€10/month flat), Branchenbuch directory listing (€19/month). These represent upsell revenue on top of base subscriptions.
3. Commission on Successful Rentals (Provisionsmodell): Under the commission model, providers pay a success fee on each completed rental transaction in addition to the base listing fee. The commission is calculated as a percentage of the gross rental amount per the published fee schedule. The platform also offers an advertising-only model without commission.
4. Payment Processing: Miet24 acts as a trustee for rental payments. Renter payments are collected via Stripe (credit card/SEPA) and held on the provider's internal credit balance, then disbursed approximately 48 hours after rental completion minus the platform commission.
