Rent Out With Confidence

We, at Wedio, are creators. We respect and understand the value of photography equipment and video gear. And when we say value, we have in mind both financial and emotional aspects.

We know that the gear you own is not only worth money, but that it also represents a small(er or bigger) part of your personality. And that’s exactly how we feel about gear as well.

Having these facts in mind, we reflected upon the accessibility of professional equipment and the right way to treat it when it is used by multiple professionals.

We’ve put all things together and developed what we consider a fine experience that would sum up exactly that. Our greater, final aim: lend and rent safely, so we keep great stories alive.

Why do we believe in lending?

We believe there are many good reasons to rent out your gear and we can go on about them for a long time. :) However, we’ll spare you and get directly to the first four that won the top of our list:

1. Earn Money

As a lender within the Wedio community, you earn money in two ways. The direct one, through the passive income you’ll have once your gear is used at its full potential. And the second, indirect way which comes from the promo Wedio does through SEO, SEM, and Social Media. For us it’s paid, for you it’s free — in this way you can reach new potential customers.

2. Expand your network

Wedio is the fastest-growing European community of creators. Each of us values the work we do and the effort put into it. Being a member of the community and lending your gear within it will make you feel closer to your peers and give you the real feeling that you actually contribute to the achievements of other creatives’ dreams.

3. Save time

Being one of us gets things done faster. What we can do is list your gear for free through our Lead-In Program which is available 7 days a week. This service will help you spare precious time and make you earn money out of your gear faster.

However, if you prefer to have control over that, you can just start creating the listing yourself.

4. Think recycling

We like to call lending Creative Recycling. Lending is one smart way to contribute to the circular economy — you reduce pressure on the environment and the security of the supply of raw materials. Simple as that.

Free from financial risk

Let’s say Olivia has a great deal of gear and she’s thinking about lending it — because of all the good reasons above — but the first thing that comes into her mind is what we’re all thinking about: damage. This is where Wedio jumps in and makes the lending process free from any financial risk offering worldwide Insurance coverage.

Each renter goes through a quick process that automatically assures both sides in any rare, unpleasant situation. Now Olivia can focus more on expanding her professional network and interact with other like-minded artists, while making the most of her gear passively, instead of thinking about unlikely accidents.

Through Wedio's coverage we are introducing world's first Global On-Demand Gear Coverage for film and photo equipment, covering up to €30,000 (220,000 DKK, 25K pounds, 150K Real, or 300K SEK) per rental.

The coverage is free, and it’s automatically included in each rental.

Therefore, your protection when renting out film & photo equipment through Wedio is assured from the start. In other words, this means you won’t risk finding yourself in a financial bind if an unlikely accident should occur.

Lend safely in 4 easy steps

There you have it, no faffing around. Steps to which we add the very important aspect that you have complete freedom over your listings and you are always in your full right to decline a request.
