Trust & safety
Stowbo is built so a renter can save at a neighbor's spot and a host can earn from spare space — without either one taking a leap of faith. Verified people, a handoff you can prove, payments that stay on-platform, and protection up to $5,000 behind every booking.
Everyone on Stowbo confirms who they are before they book or host, so you always know who you're handing off to. See how it works →
Custody changes hands with a one-time code, a timestamped photo and an item count — in both directions. No match, no hand-back. The handoff, step by step →
Money stays inside Stowbo — never cash in hand. The host's payout is released after the handoff is confirmed. How payouts work →
It's protection, not insurance: a straightforward promise, backed by the receipt trail, on every booking. See what's covered →
Renters rate hosts and hosts rate renters after every stash, so good behavior is visible and reputations are earned honestly.
Exact locations are hidden until a booking is confirmed. Hosts and renters only share the details they need, only when they need them.
Community standards
Stowbo works because people treat each other's space with care. That means honest listings, on-time handoffs, respectful messages, and keeping everything on-platform. It also means some things simply can't be stored — hazardous, illegal, perishable-without-cold, or living items among them.
