Earn income from your tennis ball machine by making it available to players, coaches, and families in your area.
For 20+ years, Tennis Machine Rentals has been the trusted place where players and coaches find a ball machine near them, and where owners get discovered by renters.
Our reach, last 12 months
Tennis ball machines are expensive, underused, and often sit idle. Meanwhile, players and coaches struggle to access them when they want to train.
Tennis Machine Rentals bridges that gap by connecting people who want to train with trusted local owners who already have machines. As a partner, you earn income when your machine isn’t in use — without giving up ownership or control.
We list your machine on Tennis Machine Rentals and make it discoverable to renters searching in your city.
Renters book and pay through the platform, and you get a text and email to approve each request. You set your pricing, availability, and boundaries — we provide the visibility, booking, payments, and support.
You keep full ownership of your machine and decide when it’s available. There are no long-term commitments and no requirement to accept every request.
Some partners rent occasionally to offset ownership costs. Others rent more frequently as a small local side business. You decide what works for you.
The partner program is a great fit for machine owners who are comfortable coordinating local rentals and enjoy helping others train.
It may not be a fit if you’re looking for fully passive income or don’t want any local coordination. We focus on quality, trust, and realistic expectations.
How the program works
We drive renters to your listing and run the booking, payment, and notifications for you. You keep control of your machine, your pricing, and every request.

Offer delivery, setup, on-court operation, coaching, or stringing at your own price. TMR takes 0% of add-on services.
Get a text and email for each request and Accept or Decline in seconds. No obligation to take every rental.
