Whether you want to rent something or make your own items available.
In 5 steps
Step 1 of 5: Search or browse by category
Use price and category filters to find exactly what you need, nearby.
Step 2 of 5: Check the listing details
Photos, daily price, security deposit, and any damage coverage are always shown clearly.
Step 3 of 5: Book and pay securely
Payment is handled by Stripe; deposits and damage coverage are refunded automatically if there are no issues.
Step 4 of 5: Message the owner
Personal contact details stay hidden until the booking is confirmed, for your safety.
Step 5 of 5: Pick up, use, return
Track your rental status from your profile and leave a review once it's done.
Step 1 of 5: Create your host profile
To publish listings you need a host profile (called a "business" in the app): it is free and takes a few minutes; the details it asks for are shown during the process.
Step 2 of 5: Complete the one-time verification
A one-time check (KYB and identity), usually a few minutes, that keeps the platform safe for everyone.
Step 3 of 5: Publish your listing
Photos, description, price, security deposit, and optional damage coverage — you decide.
Step 4 of 5: Connect Stripe for payouts
Set up Stripe Connect to receive customer payments directly to your account.
Step 5 of 5: Manage bookings and your team
Accept bookings, reply to messages, and invite teammates with owner or operator roles.
