Rent an item without leaving home: delivery comes to Tatuça

You’ve found the perfect item on Tatuça. A drill to put up your shelves. A bike for the weekend. A raclette machine for Saturday night with friends.

There’s just one step left: picking it up.

Crossing town. Finding a parking spot. Fitting it into an already busy schedule. All that for an item you might only keep for 24 hours.

It’s often that little detail that makes you hesitate. Not the item. Not the price. Just the trip itself.

We listened. And we built a simple solution: peer-to-peer delivery.

How it works on Tatuça

No trucks. No third-party couriers. No middlemen.

On Tatuça, the item's owner handles the delivery personally. The concept is simple:

  • When listing an item, the owner can enable the "delivery" option.
  • When booking, the renter sees this option and can select it with a single click.
  • On the day of the rental, the owner brings the item directly to the renter's address.

That’s it. A transaction between two people, from the initial message to the hand-off. It’s exactly the spirit of Tatuça: simplifying exchanges between neighbors, without adding anything in between.

Clear pricing, calculated automatically

We hate nasty surprises just as much as you do. That’s why the delivery price is simple and transparent, based on two factors:

  • a fixed pickup fee
  • a price per kilometer traveled

The distance is calculated automatically, and the price is clearly displayed before you even confirm the booking. A concrete example:

  • Pickup fee: 5 CAD
  • Per kilometer: 0.80 CAD
  • For an 8 km trip: 5 + (8 × 0.80) = 11 CAD

Eleven dollars to avoid leaving home. Hard to say no.

What this means for you

For renters:

  • No need to travel
  • Faster booking process from start to finish
  • Greater daily convenience
  • Access to even more items, including those located a bit further away

For owners:

  • Extra income with every delivery
  • More attractive listings, leading to more rentals
  • A simple way to monetize your time

Total flexibility, as always with Tatuça

Delivery doesn't change the freedom that defines Tatuça’s DNA:

  • It is completely optional.
  • Each owner decides whether or not to enable it.
  • Each renter chooses what works best for them with every booking.

No one is forced into anything. Everyone gains more options.

In short

At Tatuça, our mission has always been the same: to make peer-to-peer renting as simple as an exchange between neighbors. With delivery, we’re taking it a step further. An item should never be out of reach due to the commute or a busy schedule.

Renting becomes as simple as a click, no matter the distance.
