Coming to Oslo · Opening [launch month]
Everything you'd pack.
Already waiting in Oslo.
Rent Gear is a private marketplace where verified adults in Oslo rent sex toys and gear from each other. Visiting? Travel light and rent locally. Live here? Earn from what you already own.
How it works
From message to handoff in four steps.
Verify once
Confirm you're 18+ with ID and a live selfie. It takes a few minutes, and your details stay private.
Find and message
Browse gear by neighbourhood, such as Grünerløkka, Sentrum or Frogner. Agree the details in Rent Gear chat.
Check the live photo
The owner photographs the item right before your booking, with a one-time code word beside it. You approve it, then pay.
Meet and return
Meet in a public place and both take a photo of the item. Bring it back on time and your deposit is refunded automatically.
Two ways to use Rent Gear
Rent for the trip. Or earn from what you own.
Rent · Travel light
Land in Oslo with a lighter bag and still have everything you want for the trip.
Example booking. Owners set their own prices and deposits.
List · Earn
Gear sitting in a drawer starts earning, and a deposit protects it every time it leaves.
Worried about lending your gear? Every renter is ID-verified with a card on file. If it isn't back within 72 hours, the full deposit is yours.
Coming after launch: courier delivery in plain packaging, and rent-to-own.
Marketplace preview · Example listings
Browse, book and pay. All before you meet.
This is how renting will work when we open. The listings below are examples. Add one to a booking and try the checkout. No payment is taken.
Prices are set by owners. Every listing shows its deposit before you book.
Trust and safety
You see the real item before you pay.
Listing photos can be old or borrowed. That's why every booking also needs a fresh photo taken with the live camera, with a code word only that booking knows.

A new code for every booking
The owner places a random word in the shot. No word, no booking.
No gallery uploads
The photo comes straight from the camera and is timestamped, within 24 hours of the handoff.
Handoff and return on record
You both photograph the item when it changes hands. If there's a disagreement, the photos decide.
One real person per account
ID, a live selfie and a card on file mean someone who breaks the rules can't just sign up again.
Contact details stay locked
Phone numbers and emails are blocked in chat, so nobody can pull you into an unprotected deal.
Never at someone's home
You agree on a café or a busy square. Everything is paid beforehand, so only the item changes hands.
Hygiene standard
Worried it isn't clean?
Fair question. We only accept materials that can be fully sanitised between people, like medical-grade silicone, glass and steel. Before you pay, you see a live photo of the exact item.
- Medical-grade silicone
- Glass and stainless steel
- Hard plastic (ABS), ceramic, aluminium
- Vibrators with a removable silicone sleeve
- Jelly, TPE and TPR
- Latex and realistic-skin toys
- Sealed vibrators coated in TPE
These materials hold bacteria even after cleaning, so they can't be shared safely.
Who does the cleaning?
The owner, following the Rent Gear cleaning checklist before every rental, and removable sleeves are replaced or sanitised. We can't be in every owner's home, so we also suggest giving it a quick clean yourself. With non-porous materials, that's simple and reliable.
Leather and fabric gear, such as harnesses and cuffs, will be added once our wipe-down standard has been tested in Oslo.

Questions
Asked privately. Answered plainly.
Someone else has used this. Is it actually clean?
Some materials, such as jelly, TPE and latex, can't be made safe to share, so we don't allow them. Everything on Rent Gear is non-porous, like medical-grade silicone, glass or steel, and can be fully sanitised. Owners follow a cleaning checklist before every rental, and you see a live photo of the exact item before you pay. Many people also give it their own clean when it arrives, and we'd encourage that.
Will anyone find out I used this?
The other person only ever sees your username. Your real name and address are never shared, and emails from us never mention what you rented. Your bank statement will show [billing name]. Your ID is checked once, stored securely, and kept no longer than needed.
Is it safe to meet a stranger?
Every member has passed an ID check and a live selfie, so you're meeting a verified person, not an anonymous account. Meet-ups happen in public places you both agree on, and everything is paid beforehand, so no money changes hands in person. If something doesn't feel right, don't go ahead, and tell us.
What if the item isn't as described, or I don't get my deposit back?
You approve a live photo with a one-time code word before you pay, so the listing can't use an old or borrowed picture. Your deposit is held by our payment provider, not by the owner, and comes back automatically once you both confirm the return. If there's a disagreement, the photos taken at handoff and return decide it.
What if I lend my gear and never see it again?
Every renter is ID-verified with a card on file. If an item isn't back within 72 hours, the full deposit goes to you. If it's never returned, the renter is banned and charged its value. We can't promise nothing will ever go wrong, but we can make sure there are real consequences when it does.
What happens if I return something late?
You'll get a reminder, and a small daily late fee starts. After 72 hours, the full deposit goes to the owner and the account is suspended until it's sorted out.
Can it be delivered instead?
Not at launch. In Oslo, you meet in a public place you both agree on. Courier delivery in plain, unmarked packaging is planned for later.
Can I pay in cash or Vipps at the meet-up?
No. Every payment goes through Rent Gear before the handoff. That's what makes the deposit, the refund and our help with disagreements work. Deals made outside Rent Gear have no protection.
Who can join?
Any verified adult, 18 or older. Rent Gear is built with the gay community in mind and is open to everyone.
When does Rent Gear open, and what does joining the list mean?
We're aiming to open in Oslo in [launch month]. Joining the list is free and commits you to nothing. You'll get one email with your invite, and you'll verify your ID only when you decide to rent or list.
Be first in Oslo.
Founding members get first pick of listings, and founding owners get featured placement at launch. Joining is free.
