Thanks to the startup business, <strong>Grover<\/strong>, you can now rent the latest technology from a variety of companies. It\u2019s a great way to try an in demand or desirable product before you buy it, or to temporarily rent a product when you need it most, for a fraction of the retail price.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What You Can Rent on Grover<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Grover has a wide selection of Android and Apple products such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearables. Some rental prices are better than others. For example, you can rent a new MacBook for about $110 per month, a Surface Pro 4 for $120 per month, or a Motorola Moto 360 Android watch for $30 per month. Other items you can rent include: Samsung Gear VR, a variety of Canon cameras, film and audio equipment, drones, video game consoles, projectors, and smart gadgets. You can even rent older technology, such as a Nintendo 64 or a Gameboy Color for $10 per month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/easy-ways-make-quick-cash-tech-world\/\">Easy Ways to Make Quick Cash in the Tech World<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Grover Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With Grover, you\u2019ll first create an account. You\u2019ll then choose which items you want to \u201csubscribe\u201d to, or rent. You can keep a product for any length of time, and return or exchange it whenever you desire \u2014 no contract period required. In addition, once you\u2019ve reached the retail price of the item you\u2019re renting (and paid some additional fees), the item is yours. When you\u2019re done with an item, simply restore it to factory settings and send it back. Products typically take 2-5 days to ship, and return shipping is free.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Problem with Renting Tech Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to renting expensive technology. While it\u2019s exciting to try out in demand products, it also makes you more of a target for theft. If your product is stolen (or lost), it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll have to pay Grover for the item. As for damaged products, you\u2019ll have to pay Grover 50% of the retail price. If you\u2019re particularly careful with all of your electronic possessions, and have the money to cover possible loss or damages, then renting technology might be an appealing option. However, if you\u2019re renting to save money, it might be better (and less risky) to purchase an item through a payment plan that has strong warranty coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re desperate to try out a new tech gadget, or need an item temporarily, you\u2019re in luck: you can now rent electronics online for a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3942,3861],"class_list":["post-6158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-privacy","tag-expensive-electronics","tag-video-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6158\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
