Our rental shipping process is currently in beta and only available to select renters/owners.

Step 1: First-Time Renters & Approval

To ensure a safe rental experience, all first-time renters (local or shipping) must complete a quick verification process:

  1. ID Verification: Submit your ID during or before your first order.

  2. Fast Approval: Most approvals take about 30 minutes during business hours. Occasionally, we may request additional information.

  3. Verification Confirmation: Once verified, you will receive an email confirmation.

  4. If We Don’t Hear Back: Orders that are missing required information will be canceled at the end of the shipping day.

We strive to keep this process smooth while ensuring trust and security. For a step-by-step guide to verifying your ID, please visit [insert article].

Step 2: Submitting a Rental Request

  1. Choose Dates: On the listing page, click “Select Dates,” choose your delivery and return dates, then click “Add to Rental Cart.”

  2. Open Your Cart: Click the cart icon in the top-right corner.

  3. See Pricing Instantly: Rental and shipping costs will update automatically.

  4. Review Your Items: Double-check everything in your cart.

  5. Checkout: Follow the on-screen prompts.

  6. Get Confirmation: You will receive an email once your reservation is confirmed.

  7. Payment Timing: Your card will only be charged when the order is ready to ship.

Important Notes:

  • Rentals cannot start or end on Saturdays or Sundays, as carriers do not operate on those days.

  • Select a delivery date at least one day before you need the gear to account for rare carrier delays.

  • While ShareGrid ships on time, delivery timing depends on carrier once the package is in transit.

Step 3: Rental Periods Explained

Your rental officially begins at 5 PM local time on whichever occurs later:

  • The scheduled start date, or

  • The first delivery attempt.

Time is counted in 24-hour increments, and equipment must be returned by 5 PM on the final day of your rental.

Example: If you schedule a 7-day rental starting on Tuesday, your rental begins at 5 PM on Tuesday. The gear must be returned by 5 PM the following Tuesday to avoid late fees.

Key Takeaways

  1. Find Your Item: Browse ShareGrid’s inventory and choose what you need.

  2. Add to Cart: Select your dates and complete the checkout process.

  3. Complete ID Verification: If you have not yet been verified, please complete this step.

  4. Receive Your Gear: Your rental will arrive on your chosen date with a prepaid return label.

  5. Return with Ease: Repack the gear, place the return label over the old one, and drop it off with the carrier.
