To live an easier and more affordable life

To save money on buying new, or paying for something only used once
To make money by renting stuff they already own
To help offset the cost of buying something in the first place
It can be easier and faster to text for something locally than wait for it to be delivered new
Supply chain issues mean things are often out-of-stock or not available in a local store
Last minute fixes, like borrowing a tool to fix a broken appliance or even a smartphone charger in an emergency
One-off or temporary needs, like camping or sports equipment, party decorations, or a suit for a job interview
To try it first, whether it’s before committing to a big investment, or just seeing what the fuss is about with something promoted by influencers or in-app marketing
