A look at the rental landscape
The world of tech moves quickly, products updates, new types of devices, new capabilities, and more seemingly being announced every other week. So what insights can we gain from device rentals in 2023?

Accessing tech
With an incredible amount of tech now available, what devices are people renting most of all? What are the areas of growth we’ve seen?
Using tech
Once renters have found their dream devices, how long are they using them for? Is it true that we’re holding onto tech longer than ever?

We know that more devices means more e-waste. But what’s the status quo, and what does Grover’s recirculation model look like?
Frequently asked questions
What condition are the products in?
Grover rents new and as good as new products. Before products are rented out again, they go through a detailed quality check and multi-stage processing, so that each device rented from Grover arrives in flawless condition. If your device isn’t as expected, our customer service is happy to help. Learn more about our Great Condition Promise.
When does the rent begin and end?
The first monthly rental payment is charged when ordering, but the rental period does not officially start until you receive your product. The delivery date determines the recurring monthly payment date. If you fall in love and want to keep your product longer than the minimum rental period, you can extend your rental plan in your customer account at any time to reduce the monthly payment. At the end of the minimum rental period, you can keep renting on a monthly basis for the same price or cancel your subscription by returning your device for free.
What if my device gets damaged during the rental period?
If something happens during your rental, Grover Care is there for you. We pay for 90% of the repair costs for damages of all kinds, including display breakage, water damage, and technical defects. Of course there are no charges for device errors from the manufacturer. Learn more about Grover Care
Do I have to worry about signs of use?
Don’t worry, we want you to enjoy your products as though they were yours. Small scratches and normal signs of use will be cleaned after return for free. In case of severe signs of wear, such as display breakage, Grover Care covers 90% of the repair costs. Here you'll find example photos of normal signs of use that we repair for free and also photos of more severe damage where you'd have to pay 10% of the repair cost.
