What is VENTILO? The first peer-to-peer air conditioning marketplace in Berlin

VENTILO is an innovative platform for renting and selling air conditioners between private individuals, exclusively based in Berlin. Faced with increasingly hot summers in the German capital, many Berliners are looking for temporary cooling solutions without wanting to invest in an expensive or bulky new device. VENTILO meets this need by connecting owners of air conditioners (mobile, split, or reversible) with occasional renters or buyers. The principle is simple: a private individual owns an air conditioner they only use a few weeks a year; instead of letting it gather dust, they offer it for rent by the day, week, or month on our platform. For buyers, VENTILO also allows the final sale of refurbished used devices. The platform functions as a trusted marketplace: each listing is verified, photos are mandatory, and the technical description (BTU, energy consumption, noise level) must be precise. VENTILO caters to students who need a device for a heat spike as well as families who want to test a model before buying new. By centralizing the peer-to-peer air conditioning supply in Berlin, VENTILO reduces electronic waste and promotes a local circular economy. Our mission is to make thermal comfort accessible to everyone, without overconsumption, and with utmost simplicity. How to book?

How does it work? Rental, sale, and secure payment

VENTILO's operation is designed to be as smooth as a transaction between neighbors, but with the security of a professional platform. For owners: sign up for free, publish a listing with photos, daily/weekly price, and availability. You set your own conditions (deposit, pick-up times). For renters or buyers: browse geolocated listings in Berlin (by district: Kreuzberg, Mitte, Neukölln, etc.), compare prices and reviews. Once you've chosen the device, you book directly online. Payment is fully secured through our German payment partner (compliant with BaFin regulations). The amount is held in an escrow account until you confirm receipt and proper functioning of the device. For rentals, the deposit is also managed by VENTILO, thus avoiding disputes. Handover is done in person between individuals (agreed meeting point), but we recommend checking the device together. In case of a problem (defective device, non-compliance), our Berlin-based customer service intervenes within 24 hours. Our commission is single and transparent: 10% of the total transaction amount (rental or sale). No hidden fees, no subscription. Secure payment is our priority: we use SSL encryption and identity verification for each user. So, whether you rent an air conditioner for a sweltering evening or sell your old split unit, VENTILO guarantees a risk-free experience. Find a device.

Why choose VENTILO? Economy, ecology, and comfort in Berlin

Choosing VENTILO is a gesture for your wallet and the planet. In Berlin, where summers are becoming increasingly extreme (record 100°F in July 2023), owning a personal air conditioner can cost between $330 and $1,650 to purchase. With VENTILO, you can rent a high-performance device for just $16 to $44 per week. It's an ideal economical solution for poorly insulated homes, shared apartments, or rooms under the roof. Ecologically, VENTILO is part of a logic of reducing electronic waste. By pooling devices, we avoid the unnecessary production of new air conditioners and extend the lifespan of existing ones. Each rental prevents the purchase of a new device that would end up in a landfill after a few years. Furthermore, we encourage local transport (cargo bike, public transport) to reduce the carbon footprint of exchanges. Our platform is also a social tool: it creates connections between Berliners, fosters neighborhood互助, and allows students or expats to get through heatwaves without breaking the bank. VENTILO also offers personalized advice: what type of air conditioner for what room size? Do you need a monoblock or a mobile split? Our blog and FAQ are written in German and French for French-speaking Berliners. Finally, our commission of only 10% is the lowest on the market for peer-to-peer rental platforms in Germany. We believe in a fair and transparent sharing economy. Available equipment in

They rented in Berlin

"Renting an AC in Berlin was a revelation for me. With summers getting hotter, my top-floor apartment was becoming unbearable. I contacted a local company, and within two hours, a technician installed a powerful mobile unit. The rental process was simple: no excessive deposit, flexible weekly contract. The noise is moderate, and the electricity consumption remains reasonable. The real plus? Being able to return everything in September without storage worries. I highly recommend it to all Berliners suffering from the heat. It's economical, ecological (no buying a device that will sit idle for 10 months a year), and so comfortable for sleeping. A perfect solution for renters like me."

"When the heatwave hit Berlin, I panicked. My south-facing studio was a greenhouse. A friend told me about renting air conditioners. I found a provider online, and the service was impeccable. Fast delivery, installation included, and the device is very effective. I was able to work and sleep normally during the heat peaks. The cost? Very affordable for three months. And above all, I didn't have to clutter myself with a big device all year round. The return was hassle-free. It's the ideal solution for young professionals in shared apartments or small homes. I've become a real ambassador for this system. My neighbors even asked me for the contact."

"As a father, my children's health is paramount. Last summer, with temperatures exceeding 95°F in Berlin, I rented two air conditioners for the bedrooms. The rental service was professional: clear quote, careful installation, and usage tips. The devices are quiet and powerful. My girls were able to sleep peacefully. I particularly appreciated the flexibility: we extended the rental for a week when a new heatwave was forecast. The value for money is excellent compared to buying a fixed system. And no hassle with maintenance or winter storage. An experience I will repeat without hesitation. I advise all parents not to hesitate."
