  • Absolutely. At Riders Rent, safety and accountability are at the core of everything we do. All payments are processed exclusively through trusted, PCI-compliant platforms like Stripe and PayPal — meaning your financial data is encrypted and never shared. Every rental, message, and transaction is fully tracked within the platform, so there’s a clear record from start to finish. We strictly prohibit off-platform transactions to protect both renters and lenders. If it’s not documented on Riders Rent, it doesn’t happen here — no side deals, no gray areas, just secure, transparent rentals.

  • All users must agree to Riders Rent’s legally binding Terms & Conditions before using the platform. These terms outline the responsibilities of both renters and lenders, including item care, payment, return expectations, and dispute resolution. By transacting through Riders Rent, you’re entering a protected agreement backed by digital records of each rental.

Sellers can also choose to handle shipping independently — but all shipments must follow our guidelines for timing and delivery confirmation.

  • The damage protection deposit is in place to help keep our community safe, respectful, and accountable. It provides peace of mind for both renters and lenders by covering potential costs if an item is returned with significant damage, missing parts, or not returned at all. Riders Rent is built on trust, and this deposit helps protect the beautiful garments and gear shared through our platform.

  • Yes, absolutely. As long as the item is returned in good condition, clean, and on time, your full deposit will be returned to you. It's simply held during the rental period as a precaution.

  • Our team will step in to review the situation carefully. We look at order history, in-platform messages, and any photos provided. Our goal is always to handle every case fairly, with care and clarity for both the renter and the lender.

  • No, deposit amounts are set individually by each lender based on the item’s value and condition. You’ll always see the deposit listed clearly on the item page before booking, so there are no surprises.
