A great platform
A great platform! Very reliable. We have been using it for shooting YouTube videos as we don't have our own equipment, and the experience with the vendors on the platform has been seamless.
Safe and trustworthy platform
Takes some time and effort to set up an account, but it is required to create a safe and trustworthy platform. Ultimately, very user friendly in its use. Also, communicating via Gearbooker works like a charm. Very easy and reliable platform for renting equipment.

A reliable process run by certified professionals. You can easily book your equipment, and the live chat makes it simple to get help or ask questions anytime.
It works nicely but needs improvement
It works nicely. The fees are quite high and the booking system can be improved. The design of the website definitely needs improvement.
Trustworthy
Gearbooker is an easy platform for renting out gear. They have some safety policies to make sure every rental will be safe and comes with an insurance which makes it very trustworthy!

Gearbooker is a great service for filmmakers. I was able to rent gear for a production at less than half the normal rental rate. The filmmaker also gave me som great advice and additional gear for the shoot.

Verification process was very easy and came through the next day. Booking was a breeze and the gear I booked was perfect for what I needed.
Waste of time
It's unbelievable that a process so long and tedious like the verification, which honestly took me weeks, can be rejected without them having to give you any reason whatsoever.
As many have said their customer service is terrible and basically non existent.
This was such a disappointment, i will have to try and look for another similar website.

I think Gearbooker makes it easier to find and rent camera equipment. I totally recommend the use of it.
Overall a good experience
I used the platform for the first time after being a user of Wedio before. The process of setting up my account and getting verified was a bit arduous and I didn't like that I have to share my home address although I was renting on behalf of my employer.
The process of renting the gear and means of communicating with the owner was quite straightforward.
However, on the day of the rental, I received an email in the morning that I would need to bring my passport. I had already left the house by that time. Hence, I had to leave work early to pick up my passport at home and then head back to the opposite end of the city to pick up the gear. It would be better to receive that info 24 h in advance.
Quick and good service

Affordable pricing for qualititative material, and a very practical interface that provides very clear instructions and emphasizes 'the small letters' for your own comfort.
Great platform for creatives
The platform works great. I needed some camera equipment on my last-minute shoot, and I was able to find a reliable person in the area to rent from. Will definitely keep using the platform and would recommend to anyone in the creative industry!
