Rent Goods Online in Belgium
Belgium has one of the highest household ownership rates of goods that get used fewer than five times a year — drills, tents, stand mixers, pressure washers. Peer-to-peer rental flips that equation: you rent goods you need, and earn from the ones you own.
What Goods Can You Rent Online in Belgium?
Through Neighbrr, you can rent a wide range of goods from neighbours across Belgium. The most commonly rented categories include:
- Tools & DIY: power drills, sanders, jigsaws, ladders, pressure washers, tile cutters
- Camping & Outdoors: tents, sleeping bags, hiking poles, kayaks, bicycles
- Sports & Leisure: ski gear, surfboards, tennis rackets, roller skates
- Party & Events: tables, chairs, trestle tables, decorations, sound equipment
- Garden & Home: lawnmowers, chainsaws, wheelbarrows, steam cleaners
- Kitchen & Appliances: stand mixers, bread makers, waffle irons, ice cream machines
If you only need something for a weekend — or even a single afternoon — renting makes far more sense than buying. Most goods sit unused 90% of the time. Renting them out or renting from someone nearby turns idle assets into shared community resources.
Kitchen appliances are a particularly good fit for renting instead of buying: a stand mixer or ice cream machine you use twice a year still takes up a full cupboard shelf the rest of the time. Rent appliances from a neighbour only when a recipe or an occasion calls for them, and skip the storage and the upfront cost entirely.
Why Rent Goods Instead of Buying?
Buying goods you rarely use is costly in two ways: the upfront purchase price, and the hidden cost of storage, maintenance, and eventual disposal. A pressure washer in Belgium costs between €150 and €600 to buy. If you need it twice a year, renting at €12 per day pays back in under a year — and you never have to find space for it in your garage.
“We don't need to own goods — we need access to them when we need them.”
Beyond personal savings, renting instead of buying reduces the total number of goods manufactured, lowering embodied carbon and material waste. Belgium's circular economy targets rely on exactly this kind of consumption shift: from ownership to access.
How Peer-to-Peer Rental Works on Neighbrr
Neighbrr is a peer-to-peer (P2P) rental marketplace: individuals rent goods directly to and from each other, without a commercial intermediary holding stock. Here is how a typical rental works:
- Browse: search for the goods you need and filter by location to see items available near you.
- Request: send a rental request with your desired dates. Message the owner directly to confirm details.
- Pick up & use: collect the item locally, use it for your project or trip, then return it in the same condition.
- Review: both parties leave a review, building the trust that makes the community work.
Joining Neighbrr is free — no monthly subscription, no listing fee. A small service fee is charged only when a rental completes. Read more about why Neighbrr doesn't charge a subscription.
