Renting a textbook isn't for everyone. Here are a few pros and cons to consider when renting a textbook:
1. SEARCH FOR YOUR TEXTBOOK
Search by ISBN to make sure you find the correct textbook.
2. COMPARE USED, NEW, & RENTAL PRICES
You can also compare textbook prices from other sellers on our marketplace.
3. CHOOSE YOUR RENTAL TERM
We offer 3 rental terms to choose from; quarter, semester, and short-term.
4. CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT
5. COMPLETE YOUR CHECKOUT
We frequently offer coupons, and some items have free standard shipping.
6. INSPECT YOUR TEXTBOOKS UPON ARRIVAL
Since there is a good chance someone else has rented the same book before you, we suggest inspecting your new textbook for damage. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, let us know and will send you a replacement for free.
7. USE YOUR RENTAL
We allow some highlighting (up to 1/3 of the book) and writing in the book, but be careful. We do charge for excessive damages that make the book unable to be rented again.
8. RETURN YOUR RENTAL
You can return the book in any ordinary box, such as a shoebox. We will provide return shipping labels.
