MANAGED LOCAL RENTALS

Give useful gear an encore—with every rental visible.

Encore is our managed rental program. Visiting families can request available gear by date, while eligible storage customers can opt approved items in and see exactly when each item is rented, the item fee and their 40% share.

Two ways to use Encore

Visiting families rent locally. Storage customers can opt eligible gear in.

For visiting families

Choose dates, see availability and hold useful gear.

Request travel and full-size strollers, a wagon, convertible or booster seats, a high chair and play yards for a local stay.

Check rental availability
For storage customers

Let approved stored gear earn another turn.

Encore manages the listing, renter coordination, handoffs and turnover care. Your private item history shows every rental date, the item fee and your 40% share.

A good fit

  • Selected travel and full-size strollers
  • Selected wagons with canopies
  • Selected convertible car seats and booster seats
  • Selected high chairs and play yards
  • Owner-supplied items already in an active Nest & Stow storage agreement
  • Selected Nest-owned visitor-rental inventory
  • Known-history gear with model labels and required accessories
  • Local rentals within approved York Region, Toronto and airport-area routes

  • Items missing required labels, known history or accessories
  • Items needing structural or safety-critical repair
  • Flight use, guaranteed availability, bookings or owner earnings

Encore is a request-based local pilot. Nest & Stow may pause or decline inventory because of condition, recall, insurance, demand or operational capacity. Renter availability and owner income are never guaranteed.

How Encore works

Optional income without becoming the rental operator.

  1. 1Opt in from active storage

    Ask us to assess eligible stored gear. Nothing is listed and no storage term changes until you approve the rental terms.

  2. 2We manage each local rental

    Nest & Stow handles the listing, booking, scheduled local handoff, return check, turnover care and customer coordination.

  3. 3Receive an itemized owner share

    After a completed, cleared rental, your statement shows the pre-tax item-rental fee and your 40% share, paid under the program agreement.

Frequently asked

Clarity before you start.

Can a family visiting York Region or Toronto rent through Encore?

Yes. Visiting families choose their dates and gear, see current availability and can place a 24-hour provisional hold. Fit, full pricing and both handoff windows are confirmed before the rental is final.

How will I know when my item is rented?

Your private item history records each booked date range, the pre-tax item-rental fee, your 40% share and the turnover review. You do not have to guess when an item went out or how your share was calculated.

Can you meet us near YYZ or YTZ?

Yes, when the route, time window and airport-area hotel, car-rental location or other meeting point are approved in advance. Terminal waiting, flight monitoring and on-demand service are not included.

How much does the owner receive?

You receive 40% of the pre-tax item-rental fee after a completed, cleared rental. Delivery, turnover care, taxes, refunds and separately approved charges are not part of the amount being shared.

Why is the owner share different from a peer-to-peer marketplace?

Nest & Stow stores the item and manages the listing, booking, local handoff, return review, turnover care and customer coordination. You don’t have to operate the rental yourself.

Can renters take the gear on a flight?

No. Encore items stay within the approved local-use area and are returned through the confirmed collection plan.

How are payouts handled?

Your program agreement confirms timing and method. During the launch, you can choose an itemized quarterly payout or credit toward active storage.
