How it works

Rent stuff from people nearby

Use Mine is an Australian listing platform for private local hire. Renters search for useful gear nearby, owners list items they are not using, and both sides arrange pickup, payment, return and condition directly.

How it works

Simple local rentals

For renters

  1. Search for an item nearby.
  2. Use your location or enter a suburb/postcode.
  3. Message or call the owner.
  4. Arrange price, pickup and return directly.

For owners

  1. Create an account.
  2. Get your own 6-month free trial.
  3. List up to 10 items with real photos.
  4. Receive enquiries directly.
  5. Keep the money you agree with the renter.

For renters

Search by item, category, suburb or postcode. If you allow browser location, Use Mine can show items near you without displaying your exact location publicly. Open a listing, check the real photos, read the owner notes, then message or call the owner from the listing page.

Before pickup, agree the hire dates, daily or weekly price, bond, accessories, return time and item condition in writing. Use Mine does not hold payments or bonds, so the private arrangement remains between the owner and renter.

For owners

Create a lister account, add real photos, set the price, describe the condition and explain what is included. New listings go to admin approval before they appear publicly. Your private account details stay hidden; your public profile shows your display name, general location, verification badge, reviews and active listings.

Every lister starts on Free Lister: 10 active listings during the 6-month free trial. Upgrade to Pro Lister any time for 20 active listings, with billing starting immediately.

Pricing rules

Browsing and contacting owners is free for renters. Free Lister gives owners a 6-month free trial from registration with up to 10 active listings. Use Mine shows a 30-day reminder before the trial ends. Pro Lister is $9.95/month, starts immediately when upgraded, and allows up to 20 active listings. After the free trial, listers need Pro or an admin billing exemption to keep listings active.
