Good to know
What for
- Go camping for a weekend without buying a tent you will only use once.
- Sleep under canvas at a festival, with a model that is quick to pitch.
- Let the children and their friends camp out in the garden.
How to choose
- Number of berths. A "4-person" tent is often a squeeze with four sleeping bags and luggage. Pick one berth more than the number of sleepers.
- Pitching. A pole tent takes two people a few minutes. A pop-up or inflatable tent goes up faster but takes more room in the car.
- Waterproofing. The maker states a hydrostatic head, and the higher it is, the better the fabric copes with prolonged rain. A flysheet over an inner tent also limits condensation.
- Weight and packed size. On foot or by bike every kilo counts. By car it is mostly the space in the boot.
What to check at handover
- The fabric, flysheet and mosquito net, with no tears or holes and zips that run smoothly.
- The poles, pegs and guy lines. Everything is there and nothing is bent.
- The carry bag, and the instructions or a pitching video, so you can set the tent up again without guesswork.
- The condition of the item noted together in the app, with photos, at pick-up and on return.
Rent or buy?
A tent is used a few nights a year and takes up cupboard space the rest of the time. Renting lets you try a model before you buy and pick the right size for each trip, with no storage or upkeep.
Common questions
How do I return a rented tent?
Return it clean and dry. A tent packed away wet soon goes mouldy. If it is damp when you leave, pitch it again as soon as you can to dry it and let the owner know. Pegs and accessories go back in the bag.
Can I try pitching the tent before I go?
Yes, and it is a good idea. Ask the owner to show you how it goes up at pick-up, or pitch the tent in the garden the day before you leave to check everything is there. A tent is easier to pitch with two people.
Is there a deposit?
Between individuals, no: Loutou doesn't manage deposits. Only the booking amount is held on your card when you send a request. A professional can set a deposit on their listing; it's paid in person at handover and appears in the handover condition.
How do handover and return work?
In person, at a time you arrange with the owner. At handover and at return, the owner records the item's condition: a checklist and photos. You check it from your account until midnight the next day: confirm it, or report a disagreement with a photo. If the item doesn't match the listing, don't take it and write to us.
When is my card charged, and can I cancel?
When you send a request, the amount is only held on your card, not charged. It's charged once the owner accepts; with no agreement within 24 hours, nothing is charged. You can cancel until the rental starts, under the listing's policy: flexible, moderate or strict.
