About tool hire
Most power tools sit in a cupboard for fifty weeks of the year. Tool hire on Rentoodle is a way of putting the ones near you back to work. The drill, the sander or the pressure washer belongs to somebody living a few streets away rather than to a depot on an industrial estate. You book the days you need it, collect it locally or have it delivered, and give it back when the job is done.
Most power tools sit in a cupboard for fifty weeks of the year. Tool hire on Rentoodle is a way of putting the ones near you back to work. The drill, the sander or the pressure washer belongs to somebody living a few streets away rather than to a depot on an industrial estate. You book the days you need it, collect it locally or have it delivered, and give it back when the job is done.
That suits the jobs you will only ever do once. A patio needs a pressure washer for a weekend, not for the rest of your life. Floorboards need a sander for two days. Hiring from a private owner keeps the cost in proportion to the job, and it keeps another heavy box out of your garage. If you already own good tools, lending them out between jobs pays you 75% of every rental.
Most hires here are weekend jobs, which the two-day default minimum covers. Every hirer's identity is verified before a booking is confirmed, so an owner knows who has their drill. The Rentoodle Lender Guarantee covers each booking up to £30,000, and borrowers pay no platform fee on top of the listed price. A listing can set a longer minimum.

Tool hire FAQs
How does tool hire work on Rentoodle?
Pick the tool and the dates you need, then book. New hirers verify their identity once, which costs £2, and there is no platform fee on top of the price the owner has set. The owner either posts the tool by tracked delivery to arrive on your start date or arranges a local collection time with you. You return it the same way at the end of the hire.
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Yes, if the listing offers it. Many tool owners prefer local collection because a mitre saw or a scaffold tower is awkward to post. Once the booking is confirmed you message the owner through Rentoodle to agree a place and a time, then hand the tool back the same way. Collection also means you can see the tool and ask how it runs before you take it away.
What if a tool is damaged while I have it?
Tell the owner as soon as it happens. As the hirer you are responsible for the tool while it is with you, so you are liable for repair or replacement. Behind that, every booking is covered by the Lender Guarantee up to £30,000, which protects the owner if a hirer does not put things right. Fair wear from normal use is expected and is not treated as damage.
