Sharehub is a New Zealand marketplace that makes finding event and party hire easier by bringing local hire businesses together in one place.

Browse event equipment for birthdays, weddings, corporate events and celebrations — from marquees, tables and chairs to lighting, sound, inflatables, décor and more.

We connect you with trusted local hire businesses so you can spend less time searching and more time planning your event.

It’s free for event hire businesses to list their products and packages on Sharehub, with no upfront listing fees.

Suppliers set their own hire prices. For each booking paid through Sharehub, the supplier pays a 10% commission plus card processing (2.7% + $0.30), deducted from their payout.

For customers, it’s free to browse and compare hire options. You pay the price shown for your booking, including any supplier delivery or setup charges where applicable. There is no booking fee for customers.

A bond is a refundable amount set by the supplier to help protect against damage, loss or late returns. It is not a part-payment towards the hire.

If a listing has a bond, you’ll see the amount before you send your booking request. The bond is held on your card through Stripe (authorised, not charged) from when you send the request. It is released if the request is declined or expires. Listings with a bond can be booked to start within the next 7 days.

When the supplier confirms the item has been returned and checked, the bond is released. Your bank may take a few days to remove the hold from your card.

Nothing is deducted from a bond automatically. If the supplier reports damage or loss, Sharehub support reviews the evidence and you’ll have the chance to respond.

If you think you’ll be late picking up or returning an item, please contact the owner as soon as possible to arrange a new time and avoid any potential issues.

If an item is picked up or returned late, the renter is responsible for any charges that may arise due to the delay. Failing to return an item on time could result in further action to recover any associated costs.
