Friend with a is a great site Friend with a is a great site, I use it to rent gear through my PEV rental business and has a great selection of gear for all types of activities

Mostly good checkout process, but with one annoying interface issue for those with basic phones Excellent rental experience. Since no shops seem to rent out OneWheels, this was the only place I could find to do so. I am taking off one star because the site did not allow me to submit ID verification (instead of submitting a $500 deposit with my credit card) because I do not have a smartphone. Even though I received a text with the link to the ID verification process, when I typed it into my web browser on my Macbook computer, the site would not let me proceed. I assume one would need to access the link directly on their smartphone. Not everyone has a smartphone or wants to use one, and it is a mistake for sites such as this to not be so user friendly to those who use basic phones and need to go through the rental process on their PC.

Fairly easy account set up, Good for bike rentals, I used FWA to rent a bike while on vacation, and I would guess the private rental saved me about 50% over the cost of a local bike shop rental. I like the idea of renting idle equipment/assets from a non-commercial source. The FWA account set up threw me a bit with the drivers license photo and separate portrait photo, but I felt FWA did this in a secure manner and understand the reason for this to protect both parties from theft or fraud. Everything worked out fine with the rental, but I would say look over the asset carefully with the renter before leaving with it to make sure it works as expected.

Don't have all the gear you need? Check out Friend With A... I hope Friend With A gets enough ratings to show up high on Google search feeds. This is an excellent way to look for adventure gear in your area if you don't have it and want to check it out. Friend With A makes it very easy to proceed with the rental, helping keep privacy. I rented two kayaks, and they were much cheaper than renting from a marina.

Very excellent way to rent an item we… Very excellent way to rent an item we couldn't fly with - super easy and felt safe. Totally added a lot to our vacation!
