Peer-to-peer hire · Australia

Your gear could be earning while it sits in the shed.

List anything from a hedge trimmer to a car or a forklift. BorrowHub finds the hirer, holds their bond in escrow and checks it comes back the way it left. You set the price, the dates and how it gets there.

Bond & damage cover

Damage is settled from photos, not arguments.

The hirer's bond sits in escrow with BorrowHub, never with the owner. At return, the hirer takes the same photos the owner took at listing. Our assessment compares them, grades any new damage and prices the repair from local quotes.

Only real damage is charged

Normal wear for the hours used is expected and never deducted. A 40 mm tyre cut is; a scuff is not.

Only the repair cost is withheld

Priced from parts and labour quotes for that model in your area. The rest of the bond is back with the hirer within 48 hours.

People check the hard cases

Large claims, low-confidence photos and every dispute go to a BorrowHub reviewer who sees both sides and both sets of photos.

For hirers

The right gear, from someone nearby, often by tomorrow.

See live availability by the day, filter by capacity and licence, and choose pickup or delivery to your site. Your bond is a pending hold, not a charge, and you see every photo before a cent moves.

Questions owners ask first

What if a hirer refuses to take the return photos?
The bond stays held. You take the photos instead and a reviewer assesses them; the hirer's account is flagged.
Who insures it while it's out?
[YOUR INSURANCE POSITION]. State clearly what BorrowHub covers, what the bond covers and what remains with the owner's own policy.
What happens if a hirer cancels?
You set the cancellation policy for each listing: how long before pickup cancelling is free, and what share of the hire a late cancellation costs.
Can I block dates for my own use or servicing?
Yes. Block any range from your calendar, and set a service interval so the calendar blocks itself when a service falls due.
What does BorrowHub charge?
10% of each hire, deducted from your payout, or 5% with BorrowHub Pro. No listing fee. Hirers pay a separate service fee shown before they book.
