Rent with confidence

Renting between families works when both sides know what to expect. Here's how TiddleShares helps.

Every listing is reviewed
Before an item goes live, TiddleShares reviews the listing, photos and condition information provided by the owner.
Know what you're renting
Listings include photos, descriptions and condition details so renters can make an informed choice before booking.
Deposits protect owners
Where a listing sets one, a refundable security deposit is held during the rental to encourage items to be looked after and returned in the agreed condition.
Reviews build trust
After every rental, both renters and owners can leave a review, helping the TiddleShares community build a reliable track record.

TiddleShares reviews listings remotely based on the information and photographs provided. We do not physically inspect or certify items.
