Average laptop rental rates?

[TechnoPro]

Anyone know what a daily and/or weekly rental rate is for laptops?

I've never even contemplated renting a laptop. Is there a particular reason you're looking to rent instead of purchase? Because frankly if you end up doing it long enough you'll have paid for a good portion of the laptop.

I've never contemplated it either.

Probably would have been good to figure that out ahead of time.

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

This was a case of a frantic client needing a computer ASAP in order to maintain business continuity, so I reimaged one of mine, dropped it off, and set him up on it all within a matter of a few hours.

Charge accordingly.

Never undervalue yourself, your work, or your time. Even moreso as it was an emergency.
