How does HireHopping work?Getting started

HireHopping connects people who need tools with people who have tools. Browse tools near you, request your dates, complete payment when available, and return the tool on time. Lessors can list tools and earn from rentals.

Do I need to verify my identity (KYC)?Getting started

Yes. Identity verification helps keep the community safe. It will be required before you can rent or list tools once KYC is fully enabled.

How do I request a tool?Renting

Open a tool listing, choose your dates, and send a request. The lessor can accept or decline it, and you’ll see updates in your HireHopping inbox.

Can I rent a tool for one day?Renting

Yes. You can select a single day when the tool is available. Pricing is typically calculated per day.

How do I list my tool?Listings

Tap the plus button in the app, follow the listing steps, add photos, location and availability, then publish. You can save a draft and complete it later.

Why is my tool still a draft?Listings
