# TowShare

> Canada's peer-to-peer trailer rental marketplace. Owners rent out idle utility, dump, enclosed, car-hauler, landscape, flatbed, snowmobile, and motorcycle trailers to verified neighbours nearby — booked in under 60 seconds, cheaper than a U-Haul, with insurance and Stripe-secured payments built in. Coverage is focused on Eastern Ontario: Ottawa, Kingston, Perth, Brockville, Carleton Place, and Peterborough.

TowShare connects trailer owners with renters through a verified, insured marketplace. Renters search by trailer type, dates, and a 10-km radius around their pickup point; owners set their own pricing and availability and typically earn $200–$600/month on equipment that would otherwise sit idle. All users are ID-verified via Stripe Identity, payments and payouts run through Stripe Connect, and every rental is backed by TowShare's $1,500 Trailer Guarantee.
