How it works

Verified IDs
Every hirer completes ID verification before their first booking.
Bond holds
When an owner sets a bond, it's held on the hirer's card as a temporary hold, released after the gear comes back in good condition, and applied only after a documented claim.
Photo handovers
Timestamped condition photos at check-out and check-in, stored on the booking.
Bond, not insurance
When an owner sets a bond, it's held on the hirer's card as a refundable hold. If something is damaged, the owner can open a claim, which is documented and reviewed on the platform, and part of the hold may be captured following that review. See how it works.
