Proximity Matters to Borrowers
For 40% of Fat Llama users, the most important factor when renting is finding items close to them. In many cases, proximity is the main reason borrowers choose to send rental requests.
Typical Rental Distances
Most rentals on Fat Llama happen within one kilometre of the borrower's location. However, how far someone is willing to travel depends on the type of item:
Larger or less frequently used items (e.g., roof boxes) – Borrowers are generally willing to travel further.
Smaller everyday tools (e.g., drills) – Proximity is more important, as borrowers prefer to pick up these items quickly and easily.
Increasing Availability Near You
As more people list items on Fat Llama, the chances of finding what you need nearby continue to improve. The more listings in your area, the easier and more convenient renting becomes.
