Need it for a weekend, not forever?
Hire it from someone nearby. No storage, no full price.
Find it nearby.
Search what you need and see what’s listed close to you, with the price and the pickup suburb. The lender’s notes and rules are on the listing, so you know what you’re getting before you book.
Book it and pay through Shareloom.
Pick your dates and pay online, never in cash and never into a stranger’s account. Your card is charged when you send the request. If the lender declines or doesn’t reply in time, you’re refunded in full.
The lender confirms.
Lenders reply by the time shown on your booking, within 24 hours, and some confirm instantly. Then you chat through Shareloom to set a pickup time. Until 2pm the day before, you only see the suburb.
Collect, use it, bring it back.
Check it over at handover, use it the way the lender asks, and hand it back as you found it. Any bond is refunded after the return, then leave a review for the next person.

Questions people ask
Everyone
We’re starting in the Sutherland Shire and opening new areas as lenders join, because a marketplace is only useful once there’s something listed close to you. Join the list and tell us where you are.
Hirers pay a service fee, built into the price they see. Listing is free and lenders currently pay no fee. That’s the whole model.
Yes, with the one account. Plenty of people hire a marquee for a party and list their pressure washer the same month.
Message the other person through Shareloom first. If that doesn’t sort it, report the problem and Shareloom reviews it. Any bond stays held until that’s done.
Hiring out
Nothing. Listing is free and lenders currently pay no fee, so you keep your full hire price. Hirers pay a service fee, built into the price they see, and that’s how Shareloom earns.
A bond is optional. If you add one to your listing, it’s charged to the hirer at checkout and held by Shareloom. When your item comes back fine, it’s refunded to the hirer. If there’s a problem, report it before the return deadline and the bond stays held while Shareloom reviews what happened.
Report it through Shareloom with what happened and the amount you’re claiming, up to the bond, and Shareloom reviews it and decides. You also approve every hirer yourself, so you never have to hand your gear to someone you’d rather not.
Shareloom doesn’t provide insurance, so for valuable items it’s worth checking your own cover.
At handover. When you mark the item collected or delivered, your payout is released and lands in your bank through Stripe on its payout schedule. You add your bank details once, when you set up.
24 hours. If you don’t answer in time the request lapses and the hirer is refunded in full, so keep an eye on your email. Prefer not to review each one? Turn on instant booking in your settings and requests on your free dates confirm by themselves.
Anything that gets used now and then and stored the rest of the time, as long as it’s yours to hire out, safe and legal. Tools, camping and snow gear, party and event gear, baby and kids’ things, formalwear, sports kit, cameras and projectors.
If they cancel 5 or more days before the hire date, or within 24 hours of paying, they get a full refund and your dates open up again. Any later than that, they get their bond and any delivery fee back, and you’re paid the hire price for the dates you held.
Message them through Shareloom first. Nothing has been handed over, so your item was never at risk. If the hire date passes with no handover, contact Shareloom and we’ll sort out the booking.
Yes, up until handover, and the hirer gets a full refund. Only accept the dates you can do: a late cancel leaves someone without the gear they’d planned on.
Yes. The ATO treats money you earn from hiring out your things as assessable income, so keep your Shareloom statements for tax time. What you earn through Shareloom is reported to the ATO. If you’re not sure how it applies to you, ask your accountant.
Hiring
The price on the listing. It already includes Shareloom’s service fee, so there’s nothing added at the end. If the listing has a bond, that’s charged too and refunded after the return, and delivery is extra only if you choose it.
It’s the lender’s cover if something goes wrong, and Shareloom holds it, not the lender. When the lender marks the item returned undamaged, it’s refunded to you straight away. If they haven’t reported anything within three days of the hire ending, it’s refunded then.
If they do report a problem, the bond stays held while Shareloom reviews it and decides how much, if any, goes to the lender.
Yes, any time before the hire starts. Cancel 5 or more days before the hire date (by 11:59pm Sydney time), or within 24 hours of paying, and you get a full refund.
Later than that is a late cancellation: your bond and any delivery or pickup fee come back, but the hire price goes to the lender for the dates they held for you. The site shows you the exact refund before you confirm. Once the hire has started it can’t be cancelled on the site, so contact Shareloom. Refunds go back to the card you paid with, usually within 5 to 10 business days.
You get a full refund, automatically, and your dates are free to book elsewhere. The same goes if the lender doesn’t answer your request within 24 hours.
Don’t take it. Message the lender and contact Shareloom. If it hasn’t been handed over, Shareloom can cancel the booking and refund you in full.
