Copier rentals provide an economical option to upgrade to newer copier technology without paying the price to purchase new equipment. Rental copiers also allow flexibility if you have peak seasons of the year when you need extra copy services.

Finding a copier for rent is easier than you might think. Many companies offer online selections and services, local delivery and support and flexible rental options.

Before you rent a photocopier, consider the basic issues of copier rental:
  1. Browse a list of machines available for rent at a typical copier rental supplier to choose the machine you want.
  2. Get a free quote of copier rental prices online from copier companies or from comparison quotes.
  3. Check for copier rental companies that offer support and other services for photocopier rental.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Browse rental copiers to get an idea of the product you want


Most copier rental companies offer several different brands and models, so pick out a few copiers that will do the job before seeking a quote. You'll need to choose not only between black and white and color, but also from a range of other features.

I recommend: Marathon Service offers a range of black and white as well as color options, as does Rush Computer. In some cases, rental copiers available to you may depend on your location and proximity to certain warehouses or distributors, but you'll find out if a particular copier is available when you request a quote.

Get a free quote for your copier rental


Quotes for copier rentals are quick and simple to get online if you just know the type of copier you want, how much you'll need to use it and how long you'll need it.

I recommend: You can get a quote from providers such as Marathon Services or Rush Computer that cater to local businesses who need copier rentals. Enter information about your copier rental needs at Buyer Zone and get quotes from available providers. If you know the brand and type of copier you want, you can request a rental quote directly from the brand. For instance, if you want a XEROX rental, you can go to the company website for a XEROX rental quote.

Check out service plans before you rent a copier


Some copier rental services offer superior customer support for rental machines rather than just drop off the copier for a specified amount of time. Especially if you're in a time crunch and relying on your rental copier, you'll want to have a good support plan in place.

I recommend: Providers, such as Marathon Services, that serve a specific geographic area often are much more likely than large national providers to offer support and local service personnel. However, other copier rental providers that have multiple locations across the country, such as Convention Copier Rental, advertise around-the-clock premium support for all rentals and offer specifications on service plans for each copier when you request a rental quote.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Calculate your needs and copier rental costs closely before renting one. Renting a copier for your business for a few weeks during peak times of the year or as you transition to a newer model for purchase can be a wise business decision, but you don't get stuck paying rental fees on a machine that would have been more cost-effective to buy.
