Rent event equipment from people near you.
Panda Society is a rental marketplace for everyday gear. Borrow the tables, chairs, shade or lights you need for one event, by the day, from someone a few streets away. Hosted before and kept the gear? Rent it out.
Every rental is backed by a promissory note for the gear's full value.Why buy forty chairs for one party?
Tables, gazebos and heaters come out for a birthday or a holiday dinner, then fill a storage room. Panda Society connects the people who have them with the people hosting this weekend.
Event gear fills storage rooms
Out for one celebration, then folded away for a year.
Owners rent it out by the day
They set the price, approve every renter, and hand it over in person.
You host without buying
Pay for the day of the event, not for forty chairs you'll store.

Every rental is backed by a promissory note.
Before their first pickup, every renter signs a promissory note for the full value of the gear. Owners carry zero liability, renters know exactly what they're responsible for, and every booking on Panda Society has real money standing behind it.
What's a promissory note?
It's a deposit that never touches your credit card. Instead of holding money, the renter signs a legal commitment (שטר חוב) for the value of the gear: for example, ₪5,000 for gear worth ₪5,000. If the gear comes back in one piece, nothing happens and nothing is ever charged. If it comes back damaged, the renter is liable for the cost, up to the amount on the note.
How it works
- The renter signs before the first pickupA one-time step: verify ID and sign the note.
- Owner and renter check the gear togetherAt handover, and again at return.
- If something is damaged, the renter is liableEven when it was an accident. The note guarantees the money.
- Panda Society handles itThe owner reports the damage to us, we deal with the renter, and the owner gets paid. No chasing anyone.

Questions
Can I rent anything today?
Not yet. We're opening in Tel Aviv soon. Leave your email and you'll hear first, before anyone else can book.
Who owns the gear?
People near you who bought gear for their own events, and small event suppliers with stock between bookings.
What happens if something gets damaged?
The renter is liable, even for accidental damage. Every renter signs a promissory note for the full value of the gear before their first pickup, so the money is guaranteed, and Panda Society handles the claim so the owner never chases anyone. This applies to rentals booked through the platform.

Yes, from launch. Choose "Rent out gear" in the form and we'll contact you before we open, so your gear is listed on day one.
