Your neighbors have it. Borrow it.
Borrow Your Stuff is a local rental marketplace for the gear that sits in garages, sheds, and basements most of the year. Earn money from what you own without selling it, or rent what you need for the weekend for a lot less than buying.

Snowblowers, plow attachments, snowmobiles, and compact tractors for big storms, winter fun, and yard projects, without buying your own.

Launching in Mansfield and north-central Ohio, so there's actually gear near you and renters near your gear.
Real person support
Questions get answered by real people who live here, not a chatbot maze.

Good questions
When does Borrow Your Stuff launch?
We're getting ready to launch in Mansfield and north-central Ohio. Join the waitlist as an owner or renter and you'll be the first to know when bookings open.
What can I list?
Almost anything you own but don't use every day and don't want to get rid of: trailers, kayaks, snowblowers, snowmobiles, tractors, camping gear, instruments, party gear, pressure washers, specialty tools, and more. A few things aren't allowed. See the prohibited items list.
How much does it cost?
Listing is planned to be free. When an item rents, we plan to keep a service fee of about 8% from the owner, and renters pay a service fee of about 7%. Details are on the fees page and may change before launch.
How do payments and deposits work?
Payments are planned to run through the site, so nobody has to handle cash. Renters will have a refundable deposit held on their card, which is released after the item comes back as expected.
What protects my stuff?
We're building in protections: ID verification for renters, refundable deposits held on the renter's card, and before-and-after photo check-ins at every handoff. We're still finalizing additional protection options with professionals and will share details before launch. We won't promise coverage we don't have.
