Why HotCrate
Renting your gear shouldn't be a second job
Tracking availability in spreadsheets, chasing down return dates, keeping COIs current. Most people don't rent their gear because managing it all is a pain. HotCrate is built for people who already know and trust the people they're renting to, so you get the tools without the overhead.
You choose who rents from you
Share your link with your crew, embed it on your website, or open it up. Every booking request goes through you first. No platform fees, no competing with strangers.
Make it easy for people to book from you
Your colleague Googles your business and finds a professional catalog instead of a phone number. They see what's available, pick their dates, and submit a request. No back-and-forth, no friction.
Your catalog, not a marketplace
HotCrate is software for running your own rental business. Each business has its own catalog and its own customers. We don't list multiple businesses together, let people shop across them, take a cut of your rentals, or process the rental payment. Booking requests go straight to you, and how you invoice and collect is between you and your customer.
HotCrate is invite only
Request access and we'll send an invite when a spot opens.
