Trust and safety

Better rentals begin with clear information.

YardSmart provides marketplace tools that help renters and owners evaluate listings, communicate clearly, document activity, and raise problems when something goes wrong.

Before booking

Review the equipment and the people involved

Read the complete listing

Review photos, descriptions, pricing, location, ratings, requirements, and offered options before choosing equipment.

Check profiles and reviews

Use available profile information, ratings, and written reviews as context when deciding whether a rental fits your needs.

Clarify questions

Ask about condition, included parts, operation, transport, or handoff details before committing to a booking.

During and after a rental

Keep important activity connected to the booking

Use marketplace messaging

Keep logistics and rental questions in the relevant YardSmart conversation whenever possible.

Report an issue

Eligible bookings provide tools for reporting equipment problems, missing parts, damage, or safety concerns for review.

Handle eligible refunds

Available workflows allow owners and YardSmart operations to record and review partial or full refunds when appropriate.

Your responsibility

Use equipment only when you can do so safely

Inspect before use

Confirm the equipment and included components match the listing, and raise concerns before beginning work.

Follow instructions

Use manufacturer guidance, applicable laws, required protective equipment, and trained operators for the equipment involved.

Stop when something is wrong

Do not continue operating damaged, unfamiliar, or unsafe equipment. Contact the owner and support when assistance is needed.
