You will be notified by us a few days before the delivery of your laptop or Chromebook. This message will state the method of delivery (at school or at home) and the date.

You haven't heard anything yet? Nothing to worry about. We always communicate this a few days in advance. To be sure, also check your junk mail, especially if you use Hotmail.

Still have questions about the delivery? Click here to contact our customer service.

We have made arrangements with your school or educational institution for the delivery of your laptop or Chromebook. This can be done in three different ways:

- A delivery at school. We are present at school and hand you the laptop or Chromebook.

- A delivery at school. We deliver the laptops to the school, and they arrange the distribution.

- Shipping to home address. We send the laptop or Chromebook directly to your home address.

Please note: It is not possible to select a type of delivery yourself

We'll send you information about how your laptop or Chromebook will be delivered. You will receive this information a few days before delivery. So keep an eye on your mailbox! Also, be sure to check your junk mail, especially if you use Hotmail.

We have made arrangements with the school about the delivery, and we cannot deviate from this. So it is not possible to receive your laptop or Chromebook earlier. No worries! We will make sure the laptop or Chromebook is in your possession before the first day of school.

No problem, we have taken precautions for such a situation. If your son or daughter cannot be present at the delivery, we will make sure that the laptop will still be delivered as soon as possible. You will receive an email from us with further information.

You can order all year round, from stock. At the start of the schoolyear we deliver laptops in one take, to all students at the same time. Make sure you order on time!

Do you want to order during the schoolyear? No problem. We deliver your laptop after a few days at school, or at your home address. You will receive an automated email about the delivery or pick-up.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all files are stored on a USB-stick or in the "cloud" before handing in your laptop for repair. Files might get lost during repairs. 

With the Easy4u all-in-1 subscription, you are assured of a quick and good repair. In many cases this is free, for example, when there is a factory error or when the laptop no longer works properly due to normal use.

If the laptop is broken due to damage, for example, falling off a table or water damage, we charge a limited deductible amount of 50 euros.

In some cases, when we see that the laptop is broken on purpose, we will charge the full repair costs. Fortunately, this does not happen often. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more information.

One thing is certain: When your laptop is broken, you want it back as soon as possible! We try to complete every repair within 10 working days. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. As soon as the laptop is ready for pickup, you will receive a message from us.

With the Easy4u all-in-1 subscription, you get a replacement laptop when your laptop is being repaired. You don't have to miss a minute of class!

Your charger is an important part of your laptop. After all, you cannot use the laptop without a charger. We therefore want to help you as quickly as possible in case of any issues.

Is your charger broken due to damage, such as water damage, or because your dog has bitten through the cable? Then it is not covered by the warranty, and we recommend that you order a new charger. You can do this in your Easy4u portal.

Is your charger not broken due to damage? Please contact our customer service. They can then help you further, so that you can get back to work as soon as possible!

When your laptop is stolen, that is of course very bothersome. In some cases, the theft of your laptop is covered by the warranty, in other cases it is not.

When your laptop is stolen, we ask that you first report it to the police. Without a police report, we cannot help you further. You can then send the report to help@rentcompany.nl. We will contact you to discuss the next steps.

When you log in with the code you received from your school or educational institution you will go directly to your personal webshop. Here you will see the offer that was made together with the school. When you order a laptop or Chromebook from The Rent Company, you can be sure that you always have the right device to get started!

For each student, the school works with The Rent Company to determine which laptops or Chromebooks to choose. This offer is completely tailored to your school trajectory. We then look at several things, such as:

- Does the laptop or Chromebook have enough memory?

- Is the laptop or Chromebook fast enough?

- Does the laptop or Chromebook have other features such as a touchscreen?

On this basis, we make a choice to offer one or more laptops or Chromebooks in the webshop of your school or educational institution. You always make the right choice!

At The Rent Company, we offer security. Because we select the right laptop or Chromebook together with the school or educational institution beforehand, you always make the right choice. We also deliver all our laptops and Chromebooks in combination with the Easy4u package. Click here to read more about Easy4u!

The laptops and Chromebooks are standard equipped with a rubberized housing, extra sturdy hinges and hardened glass. This way you can be sure that the laptop or Chromebook will withstand the everyday life as a student laptop. Watch the video below to see more about education laptops!

Because a Chromebook works through the internet, the apps and programs used are offered to school through the Cloud. This configuration is done through the Google Classroom software that the school manages.

A Chromebook is a computer that comes with Google's Chrome OS operating system. The Chromebook takes only a few seconds to boot up and has built-in protection against viruses.

Unlike a normal computer, with a Chromebook everything is stored and processed in the Cloud, a kind of online server. With a Chromebook, therefore, no local storage is needed.

G-Data is a program that is much more than just anti-virus software. Awarded multiple times as the best product to protect your computer, G-Data stands for security. With G-Data you can surf the Internet carefree, and use options such as the built-in virus scanner, child protection and anti-spam, among others. In addition, your data always remains in Europe!

No. We believe it is important that all children can participate in digital education. That is why we have ensured that there is no need for verification or registration with the BKR.

At the moment it is not yet possible to change your IBAN in your Easy4u portal. Should you want to change this data, we ask you to send an email to administratie@rentcompany.nl. Please include:

- Name of the student
- Debitor number
- Name of the account holder
- Old IBAN
- New IBAN

Should the IBAN change to someone else's IBAN, please email that person yourself or include them in the CC of the email.

No, this is not possible. If you want to pay for the laptop in installments, you can rent it. You can then choose either a monthly or an annual payment.

When you purchase a laptop, it always has to be paid at once. 

As the battery ages, the battery life decreases. Here are a few tips to keep the battery in good condition for as long as possible and not to consume unnecessary power:

-Charge the battery until it is completely full. Only then should you remove the laptop from the charger. Leaving the laptop on the charger all the time, even when it is already full, is also bad for the battery life.

-Set the brightness and contrast of the screen to a lower level.

-Don't run a multitude of programs at once, but rather close them after use.

-Playing games (only during breaks!) consumes a lot of battery power.

If your battery is working so badly that it prevents you from using your laptop optimally, you can submit your laptop for repair. We will then judge what the issue is and, if needed, replace the laptop. There may be costs involved.

Below is a step-by-step plan, which you can use to get your mouse or keyboard working again:

1. Turn the computer off completely (Start → Power → Shutdown) and then on again.

2. For a wireless mouse or keyboard, check that the batteries are not dead.

3. Check that the mouse or keyboard works on another computer.

4. For a mouse, try whether it works on a white sheet of A4 paper.

5. Insert a usb stick in the same port of the laptop and check if it works. If not, try another USB port.

6. Check that the antivirus package is not causing a problem.

7. Reboot the computer with mouse and keyboard connected.

1. Turn off the computer completely (Start → Power → Shutdown) and then turn it back on.

2. Check that your headphones themselves have nothing wrong with them:
- Connect your headphones to your cell phone and check that they work then.
- Does your headphone also have a microphone connection via a 4-pin plug; then you can also check if it works by calling your phone.
- If your headphones have a normal stereo jack; then you can check if your cell phone can play music through your headphones.

3. Reboot your laptop with the headphones connected. If it works then, and if you remove the headphones it doesn't, then there is a problem with the drivers. Verify that all drivers are installed by installing Support Assist on a Dell laptop and having the program install the latest updates.

If you leave your Acer Chromebook 511 on the charger for a long time, it may no longer turn on. Acer is aware of this and will fix this issue in the next update. Until then, we've found a way around it ourselves:

1. Connect the charger
2. Press and hold the POWER and REFRESH button
3. The laptop will now start up again

If that doesn't work, you can also do a Powerwash. How to do that can be found here
