MANAGED LOCAL RENTALS

Useful gear can be ready for another family’s local stay.

Visiting families can request selected strollers, wagons and high chairs. Eligible storage customers can opt approved gear in while Nest & Stow manages the rental and pays the owner 40% of the pre-tax item-rental fee.

Two ways to use Encore

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

For visiting families

Have useful gear waiting where your GTA visit begins.

Request selected strollers, wagons and high chairs for three days or longer, with a confirmed York Region, Toronto or approved YYZ- or YTZ-area drop-off and collection window.

What we can help with

Useful work. Honest boundaries.

A good fit

  • Selected strollers and foldable family wagons
  • Selected high chairs and feeding boosters
  • 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

What we can’t take on

  • Car seats, vehicle booster seats, helmets and sleep products
  • Toys, electrical, battery-powered or recalled items
  • 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 an eligible stroller, wagon or high chair. 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 can request selected gear for three days or longer. Inventory, full pricing and the local drop-off and collection window must be confirmed before the rental is reserved.

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.
