What does it cost to rent?
Usually less than people expect, and much less than buying equipment you need for three weeks. Tell us the job and we will send a quote the same business day. There is no obligation, and nothing is booked until you say so.
What sets the price
The price depends on four things: how many, how long, how you need them set up, and where they are going. The rental period has the biggest effect. A week costs much less than seven daily rentals, and a month costs much less than four weekly rentals, so if a job might run long, book the longer period up front and pay less for it.
- One day: events, single meetings, or a machine someone needs for one day
- A week: conferences, training rooms, short projects
- A month: the best value per day, and where most business rentals sit
- Ongoing, for anything running past a few months
Why renting usually costs less
Buying twenty laptops for a six-week project means finding the capital, waiting on procurement, configuring them yourself, and owning twenty depreciating machines afterwards. Renting means one invoice, equipment that arrives already built to your specification, and nothing to deal with when it goes back.
- No capital outlay and nothing to depreciate
- No procurement wait: stock is on the shelf now
- Imaged to your build, so it is ready to use when it arrives
- Nothing to store, resell or dispose of at the end
What’s included in the price
Some suppliers charge separately for these. Our price includes them, so count them when you compare quotes.
- Imaging to your build, MDM enrollment and domain join
- Phone support from a technician for the whole rental
- Return shipping labels. You never pay to send equipment back
- Consumables, including spare toner on longer print jobs
- Talking the job through before you commit to anything
Ways to spend less
There is usually a way to bring a quote down, and we will tell you how.
- Be flexible on the exact model. One model in quantity costs less per unit than a mixed set
- Book the longer period if the dates might move
- Ask which generation you need. Last year’s model is often enough and costs less
- Price the shipping yourself with our calculator before you call
Order later in the day
We are on Pacific time. At 4pm in New York it is 1pm here, and we still have most of the afternoon to image, pack and ship. If your event is tomorrow, those extra hours can get your equipment there in time.
Getting a quote
Tell us what, how many, roughly when and where. You will get a quote the same business day with the line items shown, so you can see what each part costs and change your mind about any of it. Most quotes are revised at least once, which is normal. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
Equipment for this
Tell us what you need and a person replies within the hour during business hours. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Tell us what the job is
You don’t need a parts list. Describe what has to happen and we’ll work out the equipment, tell you what it costs, and book nothing until you say so.
