About Hygglo:

Hygglo is a peer-to-peer rental platform built on the belief that things should be used. We help people rent out items they don’t use every day and access what they need, when they need it — with a focus on affordability, security, and positive impact.

Founded in Stockholm in 2016, Hygglo grew to become the largest peer-to-peer rental marketplace in the Nordics. In 2022, Fat Llama joined forces with Hygglo, bringing the UK’s largest rental platform into one shared organisation under a single brand.

Today, Hygglo operates across multiple markets, supporting cross-border rentals with secure payments, platform protections, and a strong focus on trust and safety across the marketplace.
