Ottawa is a launch city with one honest footnote: the Gatineau side of the river is Quebec, and Quebec is not part of the launch. Companions and clients on the Ontario side are welcome, and in-person dates happen in Ottawa proper — the market, the galleries, the canal in either season, and a calendar full of work functions that want a guest.
A companion on Rentadeto is someone to go with — a plus-one for a wedding or a work dinner, a guest at a family table, company for a gallery afternoon, or a video date with something to do. It is strictly platonic, every member passes an 18+ age check, and each companion sets their own rate and chooses every booking.
What is open in Ottawa today
Browsing and video dates: open — browse companions.
In person: In-person dates in Ottawa open at 8 approved local companions — not open yet.
Video dates are not tied to a city: a watch party, a game night, a cook-together or coffee with conversation cards, in a room on the site that is never recorded. They open for everyone in Canada and the United States the day browsing does. In-person dates in Ottawa open when Ottawa itself has enough approved local companions and a person flips it on — it is never automatic, and it does not depend on how many clients are waiting.
How booking works
Everyone on the site passes an 18+ age check before they can message anyone. Companions write their own profiles and set their own hourly rate.
You pick a companion, a date and a length. For an in-person date you also write the plan — where, when, what you have in mind — and the companion reads it before accepting. They can decline, and you are never charged for a request they turn down.
A chat opens the moment you send the request, so the two of you can settle the details; it closes when the date is done.
First in-person meetings happen in public places — a café, a restaurant, a busy street — and either person can end any date at any time. Every message is screened, and a person reads every report.
What it costs
The price is their hourly rate times the hours you book, plus a 20% platform fee, shown as one total before you confirm — a two-hour date at $40 an hour, as an example, is $80 to the companion and $96 on your card. They keep 100% of their rate; the fee never comes out of it.
Your card is authorized when you book and charged after the date has happened. If it is declined or cancelled first, the hold is released and nothing is charged. More than 48 hours before the date, a full refund; 24 to 48 hours, 75% back; 2 to 24 hours, 50% back; inside two hours or a no-show, none. Our fee comes back in full at every step, and a companion cancelling is always a full refund.
