About garden tool hire
Gardens are seasonal, and so is most garden equipment. A lawn scarifier earns its keep for one weekend in spring, a patio heater for a handful of summer evenings. Rentoodle lets you hire those things from people in your own area rather than buying them and storing them for the other fifty weeks of the year.

It works both ways. If you already own a decent mower, a hedge trimmer or a pressure washer, lending it out between jobs turns a shed full of kit into income, and you keep 75% of what you charge. Because so much garden equipment is heavy or bulky, local collection is often the easiest option, and plenty of lenders list on exactly that basis.
Hirers complete an identity check before their first booking, which keeps things straightforward for anyone handing over a mower or a hot tub, and every booking is covered by the Lender Guarantee up to £30,000. Borrowers pay no platform fee, only the price the owner sets plus a one-time £2 ID check. The default minimum hire is two days, which covers most weekend garden jobs.

Garden tool hire FAQs
How does garden tool hire work on Rentoodle?
Search for the tool, pick your dates and book. Verified hirers either collect from the owner locally, which suits heavy items such as mowers and shredders, or receive the tool by tracked delivery. There is no platform fee for borrowers, only the owner's price and a one-time £2 identity check when you first join. The return follows the same route at the end of the hire.
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Yes, where the listing offers collection. It is usually the practical choice for anything petrol powered or awkward to lift, and it avoids delivery costs altogether. Once the booking is confirmed you message the owner to agree a time and a place, and you hand the item back the same way. Many owners will also show you how their machine starts, which is worth a few minutes.
Who pays for fuel and consumables?
That depends on the listing, so read it before you book. Most owners of petrol equipment ask that you return the machine with the fuel level you found it at, and items such as mower blades, strimmer line and shredder blades vary from one lender to the next. If it is not stated, message the owner and agree it in writing before the hire starts.
