Borrow what you need. Lend what you don't.
Borrow It is the friendly, local marketplace where neighbours share everyday items. Stop buying expensive tools and gear you’ll only use once, earn extra cash from the kit gathering dust in your cupboard, and help keep good stuff out of landfill.
Need a drill for an afternoon DIY project, a tent for a weekend escape, or a stand mixer for a birthday bake? Chances are someone living just down the road has one—and would happily lend it to you.
WHY BORROW IT?
Save Money: Borrow items for a fraction of the cost of buying them outright.
Earn Cash: Turn your ladder, camping gear, or carpet cleaner into a steady side income.
Declutter & Cut Waste: Protect the planet by sharing resources already existing in your community.
Built on Trust: Every user is verified, and every rental is backed by ratings and reviews.
HOW IT WORKS
Browse Local: Find items available right in your neighbourhood with clear pricing and lender ratings.
Request Dates: Send a fast booking request. Your card is only charged once the lender accepts.
The Handshake: Meet up in person, or choose local delivery where offered by the lender.
Scan & Snap: Confirm the pickup and return by scanning a secure QR code and snapping a quick condition photo—keeping both sides 100% protected.
Review: Leave a rating to build community trust and boost your reputation.
SAFE, SECURE & PROTECTED
Secure Payments: All transactions and automatic payouts are handled securely by Stripe. We never store your card details.
Verified Handshakes: No "he said, she said" disputes. Handovers are locked in via secure QR codes and live condition photos.
Item Protection: Rest easy with optional security deposits and clear community cover rules for items that come back damaged.
GIVE BACK WITH CHARITY HUBS
Prefer not to meet a stranger or coordinate schedules? Opt for a Verified Charity Hub at checkout to drop off and collect your items asynchronously on your own schedule. A flat £1.00 fee applies, and 80p of every single hub fee goes straight into the charity’s wallet to fund local community action.
PERFECT FOR BORROWING:
Tools & DIY: Drills, pressure washers, sanders, extension ladders.
Camping & Outdoors: Tents, sleeping mats, roof boxes, rucksacks.
Kitchen & Dining: Stand mixers, juicers, ice cream makers, dehydrators.
Party & Events: Gazebos, projectors, speakers, trestle tables.
Gardening, Sports, Electronics, and everything in between!
