# Drone Rental Platforms Startup Up Sonder is an On-Demand P2P Service That Lets You Rent a Drone By Alyson Wyers | Published 2016-08-31 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rent-a-drone References: [betalist](https://betalist.com/startups/up-sonder) & [upsonder](https://www.upsonder.com/) This [peer-to-peer platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rax) makes it easier than ever to rent a drone. Based in Los Angeles, Up [Sonder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedona) is a startup and drone-sharing community. Made possible by the sharing economy, the new venture is described as the first of its kind. The on-demand drone marketplace connects drone owners with those looking to rent a drone. Members are able to save money by searching for and renting a drone or drone rental service, rather than having to purchase their own. Up Sonder also utilizes UberRUSH, adding an on-demand element that has not been seen in the already limited drone rental space. This offers same day service for [drone delivery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-and-wing), which is essentially unheard of with unmanned aerial vehicles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Peer-to-peer Drone Rental:** The rise of peer-to-peer drone rental platforms like Up Sonder presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the drone rental industry. - **Sharing Economy in Drone Rental:** The integration of sharing economy principles in the drone rental market allows for disruptive innovation by connecting drone owners and renters, saving costs and promoting accessibility. - **On-demand Drone Rental:** The introduction of on-demand drone rental services, such as Up Sonder's utilization of UberRUSH, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation by providing same-day drone delivery. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Drone Rental:** The drone rental industry can benefit from disruptive innovation by adopting peer-to-peer rental platforms and on-demand rental services. - **Sharing Economy:** The sharing economy industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by expanding into the drone rental market and facilitating peer-to-peer transactions. - **Logistics and Delivery:** The logistics and delivery industry can embrace disruptive innovation by incorporating on-demand drone rental services like Up Sonder's UberRUSH integration for same-day drone delivery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [P2P Clothing Rental Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sizters-rent-lend-fashion.md) - [Self-Steering Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-2.md) - [Peer-to-Peer Sharing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapp.md) - [Drone-Equipped Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd-and-dji.md) - [Social Media Video Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-pixy.md) - [Peer-to-Peer Parking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valay-park.md) - [Portable Drone Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dedrone.md) - [Drone-Themed Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-themed-bed.md) - [Modular Self-Flying Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-pro.md)
