So many issues, liability, credit card fraud, even local only with no shipping. What if the gear fails while on loan? What if it doesn't work when first connected by the borrower. Too many potential issues. Risk v reward isn't there.

A lot of things are rented that are more valuable and unreliable than audio equipment--cars for instance.
Is peer to peer so no business framework exists nor will it ever. Totally not worth the hassle for the equipment owner and a little less so for the borrower. I see it as ripe for fraud. Would you let a stranger come to your house and take say a $3K piece of gear with a credit card number or check or a Paypal something or other? Paypal is so pro buyer or in this case renter.
So not worth the hassle, sorry

Car companies are well stocked with lawyers and accountants handling enormous insurance premiums and claims. Not nearly the same situation as Joe Blow renting his tube amp to some dude for a week.

Some people just don't get it.
