iMac rentals in San Diego

One day. We also rent by the week, by the month, and ongoing for as long as you need it.

Longer periods cost less per day. If you're not sure how long the job will run, tell us. It's usually cheaper to book the longer period than to extend a short one.

Usually one or more of: a credit card security deposit, a purchase order, or a certificate of insurance. Which ones depends on the size of the job and whether we've worked with you before.

Where a certificate of insurance covers the equipment, we may still ask for a card on file to cover the deductible.

None of this is a credit check or an application. A salesperson will tell you exactly what's needed for your job when they quote it.

Yes, and it's the part most people don't think to ask for. We load your software, settings and naming convention, and test it here before anything ships.

Forty machines that all boot to the same place beat forty machines someone has to configure in a ballroom the night before.

Both, and which one depends on the job rather than on the distance alone.

Anything outside San Diego usually makes more sense shipped. Some San Diego jobs do too: a few laptops going to an office is often better as a package than as a van visit. Larger jobs, event setups and anything that has to be built on site are usually delivered in person.

We'll tell you which makes sense for your job when we quote it, and what it costs either way.

Later than you can most places, because we’re on Pacific time. When it’s 4pm on the east coast and suppliers there have shut, it’s 1pm here and there’s still most of a working day to configure, pack and get equipment on a truck.

It depends on the job. Forty machines imaged to your build take longer than four off the shelf. Call and ask. If today isn’t possible, we’ll tell you.

Call us. A technician will work through it with you first: a good number of machines that seem dead are not, and five minutes on the phone can save waiting for a van.

If it does need replacing, we get a replacement to you by whatever is genuinely fastest for your situation: driving it out, shipping it, or shipping it overnight. What that looks like depends on where you are and how urgent it is.

Being in San Diego means that for local jobs, driving is usually an option. For a job in another state it won't be, and we'll be straight with you about the timing.

Tell us before the return date and we'll extend it. Normally the rental moves to the next period: a week becomes two, a month becomes two months. Sometimes we can pro-rate instead, depending on the job.

The important part is the phone call. Ask before the due date and we will work it out with you.
