Problem
Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts often need tools for short-term projects but face high purchase costs, storage burdens, and limited rental options that require trips to distant big-box stores. Existing peer-to-peer rental platforms lack local context, clear pickup coordination, and trust mechanisms, making transactions feel risky and unpredictable.
Solution
Rentino provides a peer-to-peer tool rental marketplace focused on Edmonton and Calgary, enabling users to rent equipment from verified local owners. The platform uses a pickup-first workflow with clear handoff times, identity-checked profiles, and renter protections to make short-term rentals predictable and safe. Users start by selecting their city and category—such as drills, ladders, pressure washers, sanders, or seasonal tools—before browsing live listings, ensuring the rental path matches their project context. The platform includes reviews, profiles, and identity verification to help renters compare local owners before committing to a pickup window.
Target Audience
Primary users are homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and small contractors in Edmonton and Calgary who need short-term access to tools without purchasing them, as well as local tool owners seeking to earn income from idle equipment.
