Safety at PeerStash

Safety first

We build every rental on trust and protection

From first message to final drop-off, PeerStash layers verification, insurance guidance, and human support so you can focus on creating. Here's how we keep hosts and renters safe.

Verified community

Every owner completes identity checks and listing reviews before going live. We surface host track records so you know who you are renting from.

Secure payments

Transactions run through encrypted payment partners. Payouts are held until both sides confirm the gear is in hand and in good condition.

Coverage guidance

We help match the right insurance option to your booking—whether it is damage waivers, deposit holds, or third-party coverage.

Before you book

A safe rental starts with clear expectations. Follow these steps to make sure everyone is aligned from the start.

  1. 01

    Review listing details

    Check photos, specs, availability, and house rules. Message the host if you need clarifications before committing to a booking.

  2. 02

    Confirm identities

    Complete your profile verification and request the same from your host. Verified badges signal a completed ID check on both sides.

  3. 03

    Agree on handoff logistics

    Use our messaging to lock in pickup times, delivery addresses, and who will inspect the gear together. Document the condition with photos.

During and after your rental

Stay covered with built-in documentation and responsive support. We monitor every trip for unusual activity so you can reach out the moment something feels off.

  • Use the check-in checklist within the app to log the condition of gear at pickup and return.
  • Message the host instantly if plans change. All edits and approvals are saved to your booking timeline.
  • Report issues within 24 hours so our trust and safety team can coordinate solutions and insurance claims.
