Tools, a sound system, furniture: sometimes you don’t need a product continuously, but for a limited time. Peerby responds to that.

Through this platform you can search nearby for the items you need. If you find a part, you can send a message to the owner asking if you can borrow or rent it. After making the appointment and accepting the proposal, you can pick up the item and the amount will be debited by direct debit.
The items are arranged in different categories and they vary widely. You can rent game consoles, but also garden tools and clothing. In addition, you can place a call for items that are not currently on offer. Of course you can also act as a provider.
While there are also apps for Android and iOS, it pays to use the website. The website wins especially in the area of user-friendliness. It’s a shame that the creators mention so poorly that you need a membership to participate in the platform. Membership costs € 2 per month (on an annual basis) or € 3 per month (on a monthly basis). The makers offer a guarantee of up to € 2000 on all deals concluded via the platform. Whether it’s worth it in the end is determined by the frequency with which you use the service.
