The 10 Items Neighbors Borrow Most (And What They Pay Per Day)

Most people have $2,000+ of gear sitting unused in their garage. A pressure washer that came out once. A ladder leaning against a wall going nowhere. A DSLR camera from that trip you took in 2022.

Here's the thing: your neighbors are actively looking to rent that exact gear right now — today — rather than buy it themselves. And on Vaultly, they pay daily rates that add up fast.
