Mobile sauna resellers: offer self-service rentals with Rentalbuddy

The rise of mobile saunas

Interest in sauna culture is growing rapidly — people crave easy access to authentic, wood-heated saunas close to nature. From lakesides in Sweden to small harbors in Finland, more and more communities are discovering that self-service saunas make it possible to bring the experience closer to everyone.

By adding digital booking and lock access, more saunas can now be placed by lakes, beaches, marinas, and campsites — without staff on-site.

For sauna builders and resellers, this opens a new market: saunas designed not just to be enjoyed, but to be rented out – automatically.

From manual to fully automated sauna rentals

With Rentalbuddy, any sauna on wheels can become a self-service sauna that runs 24/7 — without manual handling or key exchanges.

1. Book online or by QR code on site – customers select their time directly.

2. Pay instantly – secure payments are processed automatically.

3. Get access – the customer opens their unlock page from the confirmation email and sees the code for the digital lock shortly before the start.

4. Enjoy the sauna – when they’re done, they lock up and confirm the return on their unlock page. You see everything in real time in your admin.

Whether your sauna is located at a beach, campground, or public pier, Rentalbuddy keeps the process simple, secure, and fully automated.

Smart locks for the sauna, the trailer and the woodshed

Rentalbuddy integrates seamlessly with Igloohome digital locks, giving your customers full control and flexibility:

• Door lock: for saunas parked at a fixed location or pickup area.

• Trailer lock: for mobile saunas that customers tow home or bring to events.

• Woodshed lock: many operators use two locks — one for the sauna and one for the woodshed or firewood storage.

Each booking generates a unique, time-limited code, giving every user secure access — and keeping the owner in control without handing over keys.

A new way to add value to every sauna

As a builder or reseller, you can now offer your customers more than just a sauna – you can offer a complete self-service rental solution.

Adding Rentalbuddy’s system to your saunas means:

• Saunas can operate 24/7 without staff.

• Customers can handle everything from their phones.

• You provide a digital upgrade that adds real value to your sales.

• Every sauna sold can become a long-term income source for your clients.

Some partners even package the solution as a “Rental-Ready Sauna”, which helps a builder stand out in a competitive market.

Designed for simplicity and growth

The goal isn’t just automation — it’s collaboration and growth.

Rentalbuddy helps sauna builders and resellers deliver smarter, more flexible products that meet the rising demand for accessible, self-service saunas.

Fit an Igloohome key box or padlock to every sauna you deliver. Your buyer pairs it in the Igloohome app and connects it to their own Rentalbuddy account, and Rentalbuddy creates a new code for every booking – no wiring, no Wi-Fi.

Want to look after your buyers’ booking systems for them? With a partner account, your team works in the accounts you look after, and we can help you put a package together.

No franchise fees. No long-term contracts. Just an open, reliable platform that helps your customers succeed — and strengthens your business with every sauna you sell.
