Rental Periods
All of our laptop rentals and computer rentals are rented out for specific rental periods requested by our customers for any specific amount of time they need. We allow a 24-hour grace period after the end of your rental period for the laptops and computers to be returned. This allows time for shipping complications of other unforeseen circumstances that may delay the return of your laptop or computer without a customer being charged a late-fee. The Lessor hereby rents to Lessee and Lessee and hereby hires from Lessor the items of personal property and accessories (laptop rental equipment) described on each invoice. The initial term of any Agreement begins on the Start Date and expires on the End Date as set forth. The Lessee has an obligation to return said rented merchandise to the lessor on the agreed-upon date as set forth in the rental contract.
**Please note: if your laptop rental is not postmarked within this grace period, you will be charged the full day rental rate for each day the laptop is not returned.

Before you return your equipment, be sure all laptop and computer rentals and components are included and packaged correctly using the packaging materials that came with the equipment.
