Example:

Hire a jet wash, book in the hire for 2 days, contact renter to return on afternoon of the second day and renter ignores me for two days and says “sorry I was busy”. Unfortunately, You’re hired will charge you for the number of days the item was out, in this case, four days, but we would recommend a negative rating is left on the renter’s page – as a “Delayed return”.

It is the renter’s responsibility to be available for a collection and return once a hirer has booked something from your profile as it showed it was available and therefore you have indicated availability yourself on these days. Making yourself unavailable on these days to your hirer will lead to negative reviews and lower page ranking.

Yrhired.com is a platform providing a service to local communities whereby individuals or small businesses can either rent kit for an agreed period of time or individuals or small businesses can hire the kit they require for a short period of time. The platform is designed to support the low waste, circular economy. It is designed to save money and make money.

The length of the lease is booked on the website when an item is shown as available. However, the platform takes no responsibility or liability for the state of the kit hired out and returned. This is an arrangement directly between the renter and the hirer. The deposit is pre-paid via the website. Once a collection is agreed they swap codes, and the rental days run per 24 hours to an agreed swap back date. Swapping of codes confirms that an exchange has taken place.

Deposit less rental fee, or income, are paid to each party on Friday immediately following return code swap. A transaction fee of 5% is applied across all transactions. Alternatively, customers can retain their deposits/earnings in their account to use next time.

Yes, if you go to view the item and do not exchange codes if the item looks different from the photos or is in poor condition, or missing parts we will see no exchange has taken place you will be able to claim a full refund of your deposit. However, if you have exchanged codes and agreed to take the item there will not be a refund of any sort after that point. We recommend you agree to return your item as soon as possible to the hirer. And leave an honest review on their page.

Negative reviews left on people’s profiles leave them on the lowest search rankings. And we hope this discourages any misleading hirers.

We hope that all our customers will be thoughtful, sensible people! However, in this scenario, the hirer will not have their deposit returned which can only happen when codes are swapped. This is also why we recommend that item deposits are set a value to cover replacement if your item goes "missing". That way, you remain covered at all times.

We leave this arrangement to you and suggest either collecting from their home, business, or suitable public space. Wherever is convenient to both parties and where you will have connectivity to swap codes.

The renter is aware of how many days of hire was required when you booked via their page. You need to contact the renter again to agree on the time and place for the item to be returned. Exchange codes and the hire is complete.

This really depends on your personal preferences. If you cannot find what you need in your immediate vicinity, you may stretch your search more widely. It will be your choice as you will need to travel to meet the renter and collect/return the item. Please bear in mind the size or weight of the item if you are using public transport.

List your items with a sensible deposit amount (to reflect the value should it need replacing) and your daily rental rate, one day = 24 hours.

Yes, as a large deposit has been taken you will be charged for the number of days you have the item until you re-exchange. BUT, please communicate with the renter as they may have another booking so cannot extend on this occasion. You can always re-book when available again.

Search and see if a sander is available in your area. If it is, book it and pay your deposit online. Pick it up on, say, Saturday morning to return it on Sunday afternoon. After meeting the renter and swapping codes you have hired this item. This is paid back on the first Friday after return of the item, less your hire days, and a transaction fee of 5%.
