Everything people rent in the neighborhood
Thirteen categories of items your neighbors already own and are happy to lend. Browsing and downloading the app are both free.
Tools & Machinery
Power drills, saws, woodworking tools, and the rest of the home improvement machinery you need for one weekend and then store for a decade.
Sports & Outdoors
Bicycles, skis, camping kit, and outdoor equipment for the trip you are taking rather than the garage space you are not.
Baby & Kids
Strollers, cribs, car seats, and the baby gear that visitors and vacations need for a week and a child outgrows in a month.
Gaming
Gaming computers, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, video games, and board games. Try the thing before you buy the thing.
Cleaning
Carpet cleaners, floor cleaning machines, and furniture cleaners: professional-grade equipment for the one Saturday you need it.
Music
Sound systems, PA gear, and instruments, whether it is a party, a wedding, or a kid deciding whether they actually like the drums.
Photography
Cameras, lenses, tripods, and lighting kits. Rent the setup for the shoot instead of buying glass you use twice a year.
Gardening
Lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, and tillers from a neighbor whose shed is closer than the rental yard.
Party
Tables, chairs, decorations, tableware, and catering equipment for birthdays, receptions, and everything in between.
Culinary
Stand mixers, sous vide circulators, pasta machines, and the specialty kitchen gear a recipe calls for once and a cupboard holds forever.
Fashion
Formal wear, costumes, designer bags, and accessories for the wedding, the gala, or the one-night theme party.
Tech
Projectors, drones, laptops, and VR headsets for the presentation, the trip, or the experiment before the purchase.
General
Ladders, coolers, luggage, and everything else that does not fit a category above but a neighbor happens to own.
Cannot find what you need?
Renting happens in the Hive5 app, and if nobody nearby has listed the item yet you can ask for it. Nearby members are notified when you do.
