Who We Are

We’re a small, passionate team based in New Zealand who believe that borrowing should be as easy as buying — but a whole lot smarter. Rent Local Stuff was created to make tool sharing simple, convenient, and trustworthy, while helping people connect with their local community.

Why We Started

Like many DIY enthusiasts and homeowners, we noticed that so many of us were buying expensive tools and equipment we’d only use once or twice. It felt wasteful — and unnecessary. We built Rent Local Stuff to change that. Our platform lets people share what they already own and borrow what they need, saving money, reducing clutter, and helping everyone get projects done with less hassle.

What We Believe

We believe that sharing is more than just practical — it’s powerful. It builds trust, strengthens neighbourhoods, and makes everyday life easier. By connecting tool owners with people who need them, we’re creating a community where resources go further, projects get finished, and people feel good about helping one another.

Looking Ahead

Our mission is simple: to make borrowing better for everyone. Whether you’re tackling a home project, starting a new hobby, or just need that one tool for a quick fix, we’re here to make sure you can find it — right here in your community.
