Users can rent umbrellas using the Nestia app and pay a deposit of US$7.15 for each rental. A fee of US$0.65 is deducted for every 24 hours. After clients return the umbrella, the unused deposit will be immediately refunded.

For further convenience, users can drop off the rentals at any of the 12 Nestia umbrella stations.
