We are sorry to hear that this was your experience and we understand how frustrating a situation like this can feel.
This case was reviewed carefully by our resolutions team. Based on the information available to us, we were unfortunately unable to approve a refund. These decisions are always made after a thorough review and are never taken lightly.
We appreciate that this was not the outcome you were hoping for and we are sorry for the disappointment caused. If you have any remaining questions, our support team is always available to help clarify the decision.
Kind regards,
Fat Llama
Very valuable platform and service
Very valuable platform and service. Has helped me stay in business after I got robbed and lost most of my gear. Seamless service. Very trustworthy. I particularly love the fact that both lender and borrower are insured.

Trust and security are central to what we do, so it is reassuring to hear that the insurance setup provides peace of mind for both sides. Thank you for your kind words and for placing your trust in Fat Llama.

Would have given 0 stars if possible
I was renting on here for a while and they never took any responsibility for anything so I purposely never rented anything super expensive. However what they did recently is just absolutely horrible behavior. They gave my number to a renter who was not even verified who called me late in the night and didn't speak English well at all and kept asking for free extensions. He sounded like a prick and these guys are completely at fault for giving my number out openly like it's a dating app. I will write a complaint to the UK data protection officer and trading standards.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry that you have felt let down and we understand why this experience caused concern.
We would like to clarify that we never share contact details until a booking has been fully verified and confirmed. In this case the borrower completed verification and the booking was confirmed before any contact details were exchanged. The borrower chose to cancel only after the verification was completed.
We recognise that the status shown after the cancellation may have been confusing and we have flagged this internally as an optimisation request.
We are also sorry that your interaction with the borrower felt unpleasant. That is not the experience we want for any user and we take your feedback seriously. If there is anything further you would like us to look into, our support team is here to help.
Kind regards,
Fat Llama
Simple peer-2-peer lending platform
Simple peer 2 peer lending app with built-in insurance being a key benefit.
Have rented out my turntables a couple of times and enjoyed using the app.

Dodgy/failed verification
Even though I was of age to use Fat Llama, the amount of security checks which failed time and time again made it impossible to organise rentals. I had an urgent film project to complete and Fat Llama wasted 2 days of my time. It also asked for a suspicious amount of ID and documentation that I provided but it made me feel uncomfortable.
Experience might have been different for other people, but I personally do not recommend this company.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the verification process was frustrating and that it affected your project timeline. Our security checks are in place to keep the community safe, but they should never feel unclear or overly demanding. We understand how this experience would be disappointing.
For most rentals verification is fast and automated. However, every rental is reviewed individually and the process can differ depending on factors such as item value and a user’s rental history. We are continuously working to improve our processes, as we want to offer an experience that is safe, secure and as seamless as possible for everyone.
Kind regards,

Joke of a company do not use
Joke of a company do not use. I provided on request 3 photos of my face, bank statements, passport, drivers licence, linked in profile, social media account, most recent employment contract, proof of income, call sheet for the shoot, e-mail correspondence about the shoot, invoice for shoot, a storyboard and a script. Then got a security call asking me 20 questions about the camera i wanted to rent and the shoot itself. Still rejected the rental. You need less documents to rent a car 20 x the value of the gear I wanted to rent, Customer service team seem lobomised. Overall an absolute s**t show DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear how frustrating the verification process felt. For certain higher value rentals we ask for additional information to help keep both lenders and renters protected. The requirements can vary depending on the rental, and most bookings are verified very quickly through our automated checks.
We appreciate that the process in your case felt excessive, and we are sorry that your experience did not meet the standard we aim for. Our support and verification teams are real people working hard to help our users, and we are sorry if we fell short for you on this occasion.
Kind regards

The recent security measures have made this process so much harder. Asking for shot lists Call sheet
- Treatment
- Project brief
- Location booking
- Shot schedule
- Invoice for shoot
- Storyboard
- Booking confirmation
Is far beyond necessary. They need to chill. Their response needs to be much sharper in the future as this app is often used for last minute rentals for camera gear and lights etc. It shouldn’t be getting worse it should only be getting better.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the verification step felt heavier than expected. For some higher value rentals we ask for a confirmation document to help ensure that the equipment can be rented out safely. Only one of the listed document types is required, but we understand how the wording can give a different impression and we will review this to make it clearer.
Most rentals are verified very quickly through our automated checks, and we know how important it is for creatives to book equipment at short notice. We are actively improving our processes to ensure a smoother and more reliable experience for everyone from start to finish.

Not to be trusted, Avoid, Very poor Experiences
Fat Llama claim all sorts of things - they claim that they are a safe platform, for instance. They also claim that the lender receives 80% of the item hiring fee.
Neither of these things are true. They are lies.
The safe platform issue - twice now I have had someone return an item in a non-functional state, and twice Fat Llama have found a way of dodging any responsibility.
It is a horrible feeling to be handed back an expensive item - that you knew to be working fully (one was brand new and never used, the other was recently serviced).
On the second point - a rental value that the lender sees as £200, the lender receives £150 for.
However, the borrower is charged £250.
It's outrageous. Fat Llama are inserting themselves as a middleman but doing everything in their power to wash their hands if something goes wrong.
They are nothing more than a calendar app. This is the limit of their utility, and borrowers and lenders should both be VERY WARY of doing business on here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experiences with items being returned in a faulty state. Every guarantee claim is assessed individually and in most cases the outcome is considered fair and reasonable. We are sorry that this has not been the case for you. If you have not already done so, you are welcome to submit an appeal so our resolutions team can review the decisions again.
Regarding fees, lenders do not receive 80 percent. Our lender commission is currently 25 percent, which is also stated in our FAQs and Terms of Service, and from Monday it will be lowered to 20 percent. If you have seen any information that suggests otherwise, we would appreciate you letting us know so we can review and update it. Borrowers also pay a booking fee and together these fees cover platform costs such as secure payments, platform maintenance and development, customer support and insurance. This is why the borrower total can be higher than the rental price you set.
We understand your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to raise these concerns.
Kind regards,
Fat Llama

Fat Llama is amazing
Fat Llama is amazing! I’ve rented a number of cameras and all have been great and the people I’ve rented from have been lovely and helpful. When I’ve had any issues the Llama team have been quick to respond and sort my issues. The app works well and is responsive. I will use them again when I need to hire cameras and other filming equipment.

Been using them for a few years and would recommend them as a way of trying out equipment you're thinking of buying, or need only now and again. And it's also a good way to lend out under-used equipment you have lying around at home!

Agreat platform to reduce waste
Fat Llama is a great platform to reduce waste and unnecessary spending. I fully support this idea. Their support has been helpful when one of the renter wasn't able to return my equipment on time.
Some may feel their feel is high, but I'd say even though I feel the same, I will still use them as it is regularized by a trust worthy company.
