How Rentals Work

Finding a Tool

Browse tools near you using the ToolShed app. Filter by category, distance, and availability. Each listing shows the daily rate, the city the tool is in, any add-ons the owner offers, and the tool's condition. Nothing nearby? Post a tool request and owners with that tool get notified.

Requesting a Rental

Select your pickup and return dates
Review the rental terms and total cost
Submit your rental request
The owner has 24 hours to accept or decline, unless the listing has Instant Book turned on, in which case you're confirmed as soon as you pay

During the Rental

Once accepted, you'll coordinate pickup with the owner. Inspect the tool before accepting it. Return the tool in the same condition by the agreed date.

After the Rental

Both parties can leave a review. Any deposit hold is released once the booking is marked completed and no damage claim is filed.
