Designed for both modes
Whether you lend to friends for free or rent out with a deposit — every feature is built around trust and simplicity.
Photo recognition, no typing
Take a photo of the item — Lavaa automatically recognises what it is and fills in the title and description for you. From a cordless drill to your kids' toy set. No one has to type anything.
QR tracking for friends
Stick the QR code on your item and lend it to people you know. The borrower confirms with a scan — no sign-up needed — and you always see who has what.
Deposit on hold
For rentals, the deposit is only authorised as a hold on the card — never actually charged. It's released the moment the item comes back in good shape.
Identity verification
For sensitive items, renters verify themselves with an ID and selfie match through Stripe Identity before they can book.
Photo check-in & check-out
Two condition photos each at handover and return document the state completely — fair protection for owner and renter alike.
Offline handover
No signal at handover? A short, unmistakable handover code via SMS confirms the exchange even offline.
Automatic payouts
Rentals run through Stripe Connect with destination charges. Your earnings are paid out automatically — the platform covers the Stripe transaction costs.
Shareable rental links
Every rental item gets a public link with a ready-made preview — optimised for sharing on classifieds, WhatsApp and more.
Mode A — Tracking
Lend to friends, neighbours and family for free. Add the QR code, turn on return reminders, done. No fee, no deposit — just an overview.
Mode B — Renting
Set a daily rate and deposit, use identity verification and photo check-in, get paid automatically. Secured through Stripe.
Start with a single thing.
Snap a photo, add it, share it — done in two minutes.
