How it works

From search to deposit release, in one afternoon.

Stufflet replaces the rental counter with a neighbour, a QR code and a photo record both sides sign off on.

For renters

The whole lifecycle, step by step.

Ten steps, most of them automatic. You do three things: book, pick up, return.

  1. 1

    Book

    Pick the tool, choose dates, and review the price breakdown including the refundable deposit.

  2. 2

    Payment authorized

    Your card is authorized for the rental and deposit. Nothing is captured until pickup.

  3. 3

    Host notified

    The host accepts in one tap. Most respond within an hour.

  4. 4

    Pickup instructions

    Address, pickup window and anything to bring (a hose, a truck, a trailer hitch).

  5. 5

    QR handoff

    You scan the host’s code. Stufflet records the time, serial, condition and accessories.

  6. 6

    Use the tool

    Get the job done. Message the host from the booking if anything comes up.

  7. 7

    Return

    Bring it back inside the window. Snap four photos in the app.

  8. 8

    Inspection

    Stufflet compares pickup and return photos and flags anything new for the host.

  9. 9

    Deposit released

    Clean return? Deposit released automatically within minutes.

  10. 10

    Review

    Rate the tool, the host and the accuracy of the listing. They rate you too.

Pickup verification

A digital chain of custody for every handoff.

Both people open the booking. The renter scans the host’s code. Everything about the tool at that moment is recorded, and both confirm.

Before & after

Four photos out. Four photos back.

Both sides photograph the tool at pickup and again at return, and both confirm in the app. If the host reports damage, that record is what settles the deposit, so “you broke it” / “no I didn’t” becomes a photo comparison, not an argument.

For hosts

Listing takes two minutes.

Snap a photo and Stufflet does the typing.

  1. STEP 1

    Snap a photo

    Stufflet identifies the brand, model and category.

  2. STEP 2

    Confirm details

    Accessories, condition, what’s included.

  3. STEP 3

    Set your price

    Suggested from similar tools nearby. You decide.

  4. STEP 4

    Pickup & hours

    Where and when renters can grab it.

  5. STEP 5

    Block dates

    Keep the weekends you need it. No double bookings.

Deposits & responsibility

Clear rules instead of fine print.

Stufflet is the marketplace, not the insurer. Here is exactly how a rental is protected, and by whom.

Deposit held by Stripe

The host sets a refundable deposit. It is authorized on the renter’s card before pickup and released after a clean return.

Photo record

Four photos at pickup, four at return, both sides confirm. That record decides what happens to the deposit.

Renter responsibility

The renter is responsible for the tool from pickup to return: damage beyond normal wear, loss and theft.

Host responsibility

Hosts list tools they own, in safe working order, with instructions. Hosts carry their own insurance.

Stufflet does not provide insurance or coverage of any kind. Claims are settled from the deposit. Anything beyond it is between host and renter.
