How Lending Works

1

Sign up, verify your email and phone:
A) If item is over $1,000, an ID is required in order to lend your gear

2

Fill out the details of your listing. Add a title, few photos, and let us know what you paid for the item and how long you've had it. We insure your item instantly with property and liability insurance. After that just let us know your availability and your gear is live and ready to be rented!

Confirm bookings with a single click! Arrange a convenient location and pickup and return can be coordinated via text message chat on FriendWithA (your personal phone number is always private). All the items you loan on FriendWithA can be insured up to $10,000 and your personal liability is insured up to $100,000.
