Get More Bookings by Listing Your UTV For Rent on Facebook Marketplace

You’ve already set up a rock‑solid listing on Side by Side Share. Now let’s drop that same rig in front of the thousands of locals scrolling Facebook Marketplace. Ten minutes, a few photos, and one “Book Now” link is all it takes to open a brand‑new stream of rental inquiries.

Why This Works

• Boost local reach: Some renters start their search on Facebook before they know that sites like ours exist.
• Free, fast, and evergreen: A single post can live for months, costs nothing, and takes less than 10 minutes to create.
• Easy back and forth: Questions land in your Facebook Messenger, so you can respond on the go.

Remember: you’re the boss of your side hustle. Side by Side Share just handles the messy stuff – secure payments, paperwork, protection plans, etc – so you can keep the focus on getting more bookings.

Feel free to riff on the steps below, and if you get stuck, ping our support team anytime.

Step 1. Navigate to Facebook and then click Marketplace icon

Step 2: Click “Sell”

Then, choose “Vehicle for Sale.” (Yes, it says for sale – we’ll flag it as for rent in a moment.)

Step 3: Fill in all of the applicable fields

Be sure to add 5-10 high-quality photos to attract more renters. If you want to use the same photos that you’re already using on your Side by Side Share listing, that works too.

Got a walk-around video of your rig? Even better. Add that as well.

Use this time to also enter your daily rental rate so it shows up in price filters, your location, vehicle mileage, condition, etc.

Step 4: Add “– FOR RENT” after the model name

This step is critical because it will make the listing crystal clear to users that your vehicle is not for sale. Why are we doing this? Because there is no “for rent” option on Facebook Marketplace, so this is really the only way to differentiate the two.

Example: “RZR XP 4 Turbo – FOR RENT"

Step 5: Copy & Paste Your Listing Description over from SxS Share

Open a new tab in your browser, find your listing page on SidebySideShare.com and simply copy and paste all the details – this way you don’t have to spend time making up a new description, reiterating your rules, etc.

The more details you add, just like on Side by Side Share, the better – as it will make you look more like a professional operator who takes this business venture seriously. Feel free to copy over:

• vehicle description
• local recommendations
• rules (no rock-crawling, dunes, etc.)
• multi-day discounts (if you have any)
• pick up options (standard pick-up, pick-up with trailer, delivery) with their associated pricing

Step 6: Add your “Book Now” link in the vehicle description

IMPORTANT: After you’ve added all of your listing details and description, don’t forget to add your final call-to-action. In this case, it should be a link pointing users to BOOK or RESERVE your vehicle.

Example: Click Here to Book >> [INSERT SxS Share LISTING URL]

Why is this important? You should always include a link to Side by Side Share. This ensures that we facilitate the transaction so you can get paid safely and so you can take full-advantage of our protection plan and other benefits such as renter verification.

Step 7: Go Live! ...and respond according

That’s it. From there, simply publish your listing and wait for inquiries to roll in.

Facebook will ping you every time someone responds. Always reply quickly with a friendly preset:

Response example: “Thanks for reaching out! Yes, this rig is available to rent. You can see real‑time availability and reserve instantly here: [Side by Side Share link]. Let me know if you have any questions!”

Keep the Momentum Rolling

To level up your Facebook Marketplace efforts, go one step further and do the following:

• Add multiple locations: If you offer delivery to multiple locations, create separate posts with different locations.
• Weekly refresh: Edit the price by $1 every 7‑10 days to resurface your post in “Recently Listed.”
• Reviews screenshot: Screenshot your 5‑star Side by Side Share reviews and add the image to your photo carousel in your Facebook Marketplace listing. Credibility converts 💪
• Cross‑post: Paste the same copy into local Facebook Groups, Craigslist, or classifieds like KSL (if you’re in Utah). More eyeballs = more bookings. Just don't forget to funnel every renter back to your Side by Side Share link to keep your transactions safe.
