Here is a simple yet helpful guide to hire a laptop.

  1. Have a clear idea of the specifications you want. Some are used to iOS while some are used to windows. Not all laptops at the hire place will be updated to the newer versions of operating systems. Many may not be compatible with your work. Make a list of the specifications you want and hire only the right laptop.
  2. Price. Doesn’t matter what you hire, price is the most important factor to consider. Enquire two or more laptop hire places, and compare the prices before you hire one. This will help you hire a laptop at a fair price.

3. Duration. Some laptop hire in Mumbai charge you for a week and that is their minimum hire duration. So, always enquire for the minimum and maximum hire duration before you hire. This way, you don’t have to return the laptop once your work is done, as you can enjoy the laptop for a longer time (till the minimum hire period). It also helps you to avoid being charged more for just a few hours extra, because some places are very strict when it comes to their hire period. Trust me! You don’t want to be surprised by additional charges.

  1. Security deposit. Many places ask for a security deposit, if you want to hire a laptop. This amount is collected as an insurance. In case you lose the laptop or if you damage any component of it, they will use this security amount for the repair. Some places also detect from the security amount if you have delayed in returning the laptop. So, always enquire about the security deposit before you pay.
  2. Terms and condition. Irrespective of what you hire, the terms and conditions play a major role. Read the terms clearly. Clarify all your doubts beforehand, to avoid being conned.
