Tips For A Safe and Trouble Free Rental

Every day we're happy to welcome new members in our community adding hundreds of new objects and renting more things. We would like to thank you for your trust.

We prepared the following list of tips and advice to make sure you experience the safest rental transactions. Please take a minute to read it through, it's very useful whether a renter or an owner.

• Check your account often, so you don't miss a rental transaction and so your contact and profile information is up-to-date.
• Attach identification documents to your account profile to boost trust from other members.
• Contact directly the owner or the renter as quickly as possible after the rental transaction is confirmed.
• Don't forget to sign the rental contract when you make the transaction- either the standard one we provide you or, if you think you can beat our lawyer, another of your preference.
• Ask for a copy of an official document (copy and original) if you want to check the identity of your renter.
• If you're the owner of the object, make sure you explain the renter exactly how to use your item!
• If requested, don't forget the deposit, either in cash or check; this is your first guarantee.
• Try as much as possible to avoid corporate checks.
• If you're planning on using checks for payment, make sure the name on the check is the same than on the person's official documents.
• Also, we recommend you check the photo on the document resembles the person standing in front of you!
• Always ask for your renter's telephone number and verify it.
• Please evaluate the rental after you're done, to help making our community a better place.
