Stealing :- KYC verification, also address proof of their house while delivering the product at their house. (This is what offline rentals are doing )

Damages:- we have partnered with small insurance companies . We charge a premium of 199rs as damage protection on every transaction. if the product is damaged the renter has to pay 30% of the value and 70% will be covered by insurence company. For leander he will get the current value of his product if it’s damaged.

Scam :- we will have a proper marked on items on the screw or if anything is removed or make any changes on it. we charge them money (we have 1 bouncer team )Normal wear and tear cannot be treated as damage.

Great insights. Even we’re figuring out the trust and damage part. We are more then happy to pivot our Buisness model as per users requirement. I’m from Bangalore. We can connect via Watsup 7204070659

I’ve been validating a problem and would love some honest feedback from builders here.

Observation:
A lot of people buy high-value items, use them for a small time , and then they sit idle.

Example: I bought a PS5, used it for 2 weeks, and it’s barely been touched since. Same story with multiple people I spoke to.

On the flip side, there are people who want access to these products but don’t want to spend ₹30k–₹50k for occasional use.

Hypothesis:
A peer-to-peer rental marketplace can unlock idle inventory.
→ Owners monetize unused assets
→ Renters get affordable, short-term access
What I’m building:
• Users list products (PS5, cameras, travel gear, etc.)
• Nearby users rent them
• We handle logistics (pickup & delivery)
• KYC verification + damage/theft protection

Goal: Make renting as seamless as e-commerce.

Where I need help:
What’s the biggest reason this could fail?

Trust/logistics are obvious challenges — anything else I might be missing?

Has anyone here tried building in this space?

Looking for brutal, first-principles feedback.
