How renting works

Four steps, start to finish. Everything happens in the Lumo app; the deposit sits with Lumo the whole time.

In short

Find the item on Lumo Bazaar, book and pay in the Lumo app (rent plus a security deposit held by Lumo), meet the owner in their area to pick it up, and photograph it together at handover. The rental runs until the owner has it back; Lumo settles the deposit after the owner confirms the return.

What you pay

The price on a listing is the owner's price per day. Fees and taxes are added at checkout; the app shows the full total before you pay. The deposit is separate: Lumo holds it and settles it after the owner confirms the return.

Rent, 2 days at ₹800
₹1,600
Deposit, held by Lumo and settled after the return
₹5,000

An example. Each listing shows its own price and deposit before you pay.

Cancelling

Cancel more than 12 hours before 00:00 IST on your first rental day (that is, before noon the day before) and you get 100% back. In the last 12 hours, Lumo keeps 10% of the rent and fees and the deposit comes back in full. The full cancellation policy.
