If living or visiting Austin (or select other markets around the US and Canada), you are in luck! You can BUY LESS yet EXPERIENCE MORE when you rent exercise equipment, big ticket tools, arcade games, outdoor gear, inflatable movie screens, patio heaters . . .. well, really, anything you can dream up is probably found for rent on Ruckify.com
That makes me pretty HAPPY, read on to learn more and get an awesome deal on your first rental.
The philosophy of this peer-to-peer rental marketplace is awesome. Renting from Ruckify.com frees you up to do what you want, when you want and without the restriction of time, price, availability and . . . significantly, a place to store stuff. Seriously, who has the space and desire to have more stuff junking up their living space and making their carbon footprint bigger Just rent what you need, when you need it through the Ruckify platform that connects you to a local ordinary person or small business who have an excess of things to “share.”
I recently rented a Concept 2 row machine for a month via Ruckify, and it was delivered straight to my house in a COVID-safe manner through RuckifyExpress. The exercise equipment market has been booming for Ruckify as they connect gyms who are temporarily closed or at reduced capacity (with too much equipment on hand) to fitness enthusiasts who now need to work out from home. It’s win-win, gyms make a little extra income to hopefully stay afloat during this pandemic and the rest of us have a chance to rent gym equipment that can be hard to find these days – dumb bells, treadmills, row machines, Olympic bars/weights, battle ropes or pretty much anything you need to finish out your home gym for the time being and keep you smashing your goals.
I’ve also enjoyed the Outdoor rental category, especially since I’m training for an adventure race. My husband and I love all adventure experiences in Austin (and everywhere) so we rented a canoe to practice our tandem rowing skills for the upcoming event. A big ole canoe is definitely something I don’t have nor want to keep in my garage, so it was very handy to rent from Cook’s Canoes who I found on Ruckify.com. During pick up, the person renting to me was VERY nice and knowledgeable about canoeing in the area and gave us a lot of great insider, local tips we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. I’ve definitely filed away the idea of renting more stuff when we hit up other towns on our travels.
In addition to meeting the needs of stuff renters in Austin and other markets in US and Canada, Ruckify has become a great side hustle for so many individuals who have a big-ticket, random, or in-demand purchase laying around they don’t use very much. YOU can do it too! Just post your item on Ruckify and generate an income from something you already own. If you are worried about letting a stranger use your stuff, don’t be! The Ruckify users seems to be a very thoughtful and conscientious crowd, and there is also a review system on the app. However, you can also opt in or opt out of a protection plan that will help to cover the costs of any loss or damage (it’s usually about 10-15% of the item’s booking rate).
Other cool perks of Ruckify are earning RuckBucks just by signing up, writing a review post booking, or creating a new rental post. They also have a “Tree Project” which plants a small seedling tree on your behalf for every app transaction – their goal is to better the planet with a billion new trees! I LOVE THIS!
