Why choose Smart Computers for short term computer rental?
Smart Computers started short term computer rentals over 25 years ago — long before laptops became mainstream. Over the years, we’ve grown our services and product range to become one of the UK’s leading IT rental companies. Whether you need a short term computer rental for business, a temporary setup, or a one-off event, we’ve got you covered.
We stock a wide range of PCs available for hire from leading manufacturers such as Lenovo, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Acer, and Apple. Whether you’re looking for a daily computer rental service or a weekly laptop and desktop rental, our flexible options are designed to meet your needs.
All of our desktops are pre-tested, pre-configured, and virus-free — ready to use from the moment they arrive. Delivery can be arranged as soon as the next working day, depending on when you confirm your order. We can support anything from renting a computer for a few days to several months.
Every rental package includes free remote support, worth £15 + VAT per month. Our expert team is available to assist with technical questions throughout your rental, giving you peace of mind.
Whether you’re setting up a temporary office, supporting temporary staff, or preparing for a trade show, we have the right spec for you. Choose from:

Hiring a computer is often more cost-effective than purchasing, especially when it’s only needed short-term to manage peak demand or short projects. Our affordable short term computer hire service helps reduce overheads while giving you professional-grade equipment.
With Smart Computers, we can provide everything you need for your setup — desktops, monitors, keyboards, and even pre-installed software. Alternatively, you can install your own applications as needed.
We offer nationwide delivery via courier and also provide installation support across the South West and Midlands.

Tom Spittle, Business Development Manager – Pro Clean Solutions
“Smart Computers have provided support for our desktops and Office for 3-4 years. We feel these services are great value for money for what we need. On the rare occasions we have problems, they are logged and resolved quickly and efficiently without fuss. Their engineers are helpful over the phone and the remote log in works really well. We’re also a fan of Johnny, our engineer who has been really useful onsite. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smart Computers to other companies with IT needs like ours.” May 2016Dave Ryland, Financial Director – Warners Motor Group
“It was important for us when choosing an IT provider to ensure it was a local company, not a remote company just on the end of a phone. We wanted to talk to people, to see people and for them to be responsive and understand our needs, we got just that. We haven’t looked back and have now been working with Smart Computers or many years. Smart provide us with IT equipment which we rent, we also use their support services. We have been happy with their engineers and the overall service has been very good. I don’t foresee an end to the relationship any time soon, it’s been a pleasure.” May 2016Guy Warner, Store Owner – Warners Retail Ltd
“As it frequently happens, we were recommended to use Smart Computers services by another local business as they are cost effective and personable. Working with Smart is like having your own in-house IT department. The team have taken their time to get to know our business and how we operate in order to provide us with a tailored support plan which ultimately means we get an IT solution that fits our needs, at less cost and with minimal disruption. For a people perspective, the team are all very personable and feel like an integral part of the team not external contractors. We’ve been working with Smart for 10 years and look forward to continuing this relationship with the team for another 10.” Guy Warner, Store Owner – Warners Retail Ltd, May 2016Leanne Hewish, Glastonbury Festival Events Limited
‘During the Glastonbury festival, we have a requirement for more IT equipment than we would normally need throughout the year. This year we used the Smart Computers laptop rental service to hire additional laptops before, during and after the event. The price was really competitive and the spec and options of the rental kit available matched what we needed and we knew they could get the equipment to us at short notice. We were so pleased we chose Smart Computers. Easy to deal with, lovely staff and great customer service. Just what we needed during a really busy time. We would definitely recommend Smart to other businesses and will be using them again in the future.’ September 2016Thomas Grayland, Re Recruitment
“Smart Computers have been managing Re Recruitment’s two companies IT for over 20 years and have only positive things to say about the expertise and commitment they have shown us over the years. The relationship Re Recruitment have built with Smart is extremely strong and my account manager goes above and beyond on a daily basis. Most recently we have moved head office and Clayton and Dean executed the relocation of host servers and all communications on Friday in a seamless and timely fashion so we could just carry on working normally from Monday morning. Thank you very much” August 2024
