About garden tool hire
Gardens are seasonal, and so is most garden equipment. A scarifier earns its keep for one weekend in spring. A patio heater comes out for a handful of summer evenings. Garden tool hire lets you borrow those things from people in your own area for the days the garden needs them, instead of buying them and then finding somewhere to keep them for the rest of the year.
Gardens are seasonal, and so is most garden equipment. A scarifier earns its keep for one weekend in spring. A patio heater comes out for a handful of summer evenings. Garden tool hire lets you borrow those things from people in your own area for the days the garden needs them, instead of buying them and then finding somewhere to keep them for the rest of the year.
It works the other way too. A decent mower, a hedge trimmer or a pressure washer sitting in your shed can earn something between jobs, and you keep 75% of what you charge. Garden kit is heavy and often petrol driven, so local collection is usually the sensible route, and plenty of lenders list on exactly that basis. Delivery is there for the smaller things.
Handing your mower to someone you have never met is easier when you know who they are. Hirers complete an identity check before their first booking, and the Rentoodle Lender Guarantee covers every booking up to £30,000. Borrowers pay no platform fee, just the owner's price and the one-time £2 identity check when they sign up. The two-day default minimum covers most weekend jobs in the garden.

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.
