Question 1

Do I have to meet strangers?

Accepted Answer

All users are verified before they can book or list. You can choose porch pickup, a meetup spot, or in-app messaging — you stay in control of the handoff.

Question 2

What if the tool breaks?

Accepted Answer

A security deposit is held on every booking. Toolsy's dispute resolution team steps in if anything goes wrong — so neither party has to navigate it alone.

Question 3

What if someone steals it?

Accepted Answer

Verified profiles, security deposits, and Toolsy's protection policy work together to cover owners. Details will be shared at launch.

Question 4

How do deposits work?

Accepted Answer

Deposits are handled automatically through the app — no cash, no awkward conversations. They're held during the rental and released once the tool is returned in good condition.

Question 5

When will my city launch?

Accepted Answer

We're launching city by city based on waitlist signups. The more people in your city who sign up, the sooner it launches. Check the Florida section above to see your city's progress!

Question 6

How do owners get paid?

Accepted Answer

Fast and direct — payouts go straight to your linked account after each completed rental. Founding owners get access to early payouts as part of their perks.

Question 7

Is Toolsy free to join?

Accepted Answer

Joining the waitlist is completely free. When we launch, Toolsy will take a small service fee from completed rentals — details to be announced at launch.
