Crowdshipping secured.
Crowdshipping or collaborative delivery consists in entrusting a parcel to a traveler who is already making a journey. This method, very popular within diaspora communities and Facebook groups, allows parcels to be sent faster and at a lower cost.
👉 The problem with traditional crowdshipping
Today, most exchanges take place informally: private discussions, unsecured payments, no guarantee in case of issues. RentaVoyage transforms this practice into a reliable, supervised and secure service.
What is crowdshipping?
Crowdshipping, also called collaborative delivery or GP, consists in entrusting a parcel to a traveler already making a journey, offering more economical and eco-friendly deliveries than traditional methods.
Ship cheaper
Up to 80% savings compared to traditional carriers.
Express delivery
Often delivered in less than 24 hours, simply the travel time, with no additional logistics.
Reduce travel costs
Make your trips profitable by easily selling your available kilos.
Eco-friendly
Use empty space already in circulation. Zero additional CO2 generated.
But in its current form, crowdshipping is often unsafe :
- ✕ads posted in Facebook groups,
- ✕private messages without proof,
- ✕payments sent before delivery, with no guarantee,
- ✕no identity verification.
Result: a useful but risky practice that deserves a reliable framework.
Why the informal model is no longer enough?
“Informal” crowdshipping

Risky payment:Payment made before delivery, without protection or proof.

✕
No verification: You entrust your goods to an unidentified stranger.
-
✕
High scam risk: Unverified profiles, fake travelers, fake senders.

✕
No recourse: In case of theft, scam or loss, it's impossible to be refunded or assisted. You lose everything.
