Trust & safety

A marketplace built on neighborly trust

BorrowShare is a prototype today, but these are the protections we design every feature around.

Identity verification

Coming soon: government ID checks and phone verification for every host and renter.

Secure deposits

Every listing sets a refundable deposit, released within 48 hours of a clean return.

Damage protection

Coming soon: optional protection plans covering accidental damage during a rental.

Community guidelines

Clear rules for cleanliness, safety, communication and respectful pickups.

Two-way reviews

Renters rate accuracy, cleanliness and communication. Hosts rate care and timeliness.

Host verification

Verified Host badges highlight neighbors with a track record of great rentals.
