Customer Service

A few days before the delivery of your order, you will receive an email from us. This will include the expected delivery date and the delivery method. Do you have questions about the status of your order? Click the button below and our colleague Chip will give you the live status of your order instantly.

Order status

Haven't heard anything yet?
Don't worry. We always communicate this a few days in advance. Also check your junk mail to be sure. Do you still have a question? Then please contact us.

We have made arrangements together with your school or educational institution for the delivery of your order. This can be done in three different ways. We are happy to explain them to you below.

Delivery at school
We will be present at your school and hand over your order to you personally. Three weeks and three days before the delivery at your school, you will receive an email from us containing a pick-up receipt, the pick-up date and time.

When you are unable to pick up your order yourself, someone else may do this for you. You just need to make sure this person has the email with the pick-up receipt. If you really can't be present, we have another solution for you.

Delivery to school
We will deliver your order to your school and they will hand it over to you. You will receive an email from them with the pick-up date and time.

Delivery to home address
We will deliver your order directly to your home address. You will receive an email from us containing track & trace information so you can follow your package. If you are not at home, your package will go to a PostNL location. Pick up your package within one week, otherwise it will come back to us.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. We have made delivery agreements with all schools and we cannot deviate from this.

No problem, we have taken that into account too. When you are unable to pick up your device yourself, someone else may do this for you. You just need to make sure this person has the email with the pick-up receipt.

No one can be present
If no one can be present at the delivery at school, there are 2 more options:

1. We will leave your device at your school's service desk. You can then come and collect it at a later moment.
2. Your device will return with us and we will send it to your home address.

Each school has different options, so we cannot tell you yet how we will provide you with your order. You will receive an email from us with instructions so that you know exactly how we will provide you with your order.

Cancelling your order is possible within 14 days after receiving the order. After these 14 days, it is no longer possible to cancel your order.

To cancel your order, we need some details from you. You can send these to us via email.

• Order number
• Student name
• Debit number

The debit number can be found on the invoice or in the Easy4u portal.

Good to know

• If you have not yet received your order, we will arrange the cancellation for you. You will receive a confirmation of the cancellation by email.
• If you have already received your order, we will provide you with return instructions. You will receive these by email. After receiving your package, we will check your device for damage, signs of use and that it has not been used intensively.

Have you received your order and it has been delivered broken? In this case, we speak of a DOA (dead on arrival).

On behalf of The Rent Company, we sincerely apologise for this inconvenience. Of course this is not the way it should be and we will solve this immediately!

Within what time frame can I report this?
If you receive your order broken, you have 14 days to report this to us using one of our contact options. The 14-day period starts from the moment you have received your order. If you report it to us outside these 14 days, we will use our regular repair process.

When do we speak of a DOA?
When your device does not turn on directly after receiving it, it is a DOA.

NOTE: before returning your device to us, it is important that you first connect it to the charger for 5 minutes. When you click the power button for 20 seconds after these 5 minutes, in most cases your device will turn on automatically!

How do we solve this?
We have 2 ways to solve this for you. After we have received your device, we will assess how to solve it for you. Depending on the issue, we use the following simple and transparent guidelines:

• If we don't need to replace a part OR there is a software issue, we will fix it for you and will not swap your device for a new model. In this case, we will return your device to you in perfect working order.
• If we do need to replace a part, we will swap your device. In this case, you will receive a new device from us.

You can report a DOA to us by sending us an email.

Are you leaving school and your subscription is still running? Then we offer several options. You can convert the subscription to a private subscription. The service will then continue through your home address. After this, it is no longer possible to get a loaner laptop. You can send us this request by email.

Send email

Are you going to another secondary school that we also have a partnership with? Then we can transfer the subscription to the new school. You can ask the new school if we collaborate with them. If the school is not sure, please contact us so we can check this for you.

Has your subscription been taken out before or after 1 May 2024? Here we will tell you what is possible.

Subscription before 1 May 2024
You can simply cancel the subscription yourself using your Easy4u portal. Click on ''End subscription'' and follow the steps. All you need is proof of deregistration from school or graduation. This option is only available if you rent the laptop.

Subscription after 1 May 2024

As soon as the Easy4u all-in-1 subscription expires, you will no longer have any service on your laptop. Which means:
- You can no longer have your laptop repaired by The Rent Company
- There is no more replacement laptop available
- Your laptop is no longer insured in case of damage or theft

If you have bought the laptop, it will remain yours. You can keep using the laptop, but without the Easy4u all-in-1 subscription.

When you have rented the laptop, you can keep or return it. That is how it works:
- If you want to keep the laptop, you don't have to do anything. We keep the deposit and the laptop becomes your property. Just like buying it, you can keep using the laptop, but without the Easy4u all-in-1 subscription.
- If you want to return the laptop, you can arrange that in your Easy4u account, by going to 'Terminate subscription'.

Do you want a new laptop from The Rent Company? We are happy to make you a new offer. Please contact our customer service. So you can continue to enjoy the security of Easy4u!

Do you still have questions about the status of your repair? Click the button below and our colleague Chip will give you the live status of your repair immediately.

Status of repair

With an Easy4u all-in-one subscription, you are guaranteed a fast and good repair. In many cases, this is at no charge, for example when there is a factory error or when the device no longer works properly through normal use.

If the device is broken due to your own fault, such as falling off a table, the own risk of €50 will be charged. If we see that the device has been broken on purpose, the full repair costs will be charged. Thankfully, this does not happen very often.

For more information, you can always check our Terms and Conditions.

One thing is for sure: when your laptop is broken, you want it back as soon as possible! We try to complete every repair within 10 working days. However, this is not always possible. This may be due to busyness or because the parts needed to repair are hard to get. We hope for your understanding.

When your laptop is ready to be collected, we will of course notify you immediately.

Acer laptops
For Acer laptops, the repair period is currently 20 working days. This is because the parts needed to repair are very hard to get. We understand this is annoying, but hope for your understanding! Once the parts have arrived, we will do everything we can to repair your laptop as quickly as possible.

Easy4u all-in-1 subscription
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 can't use your laptop without one. That's why we want to help you as soon as possible in case of problems.

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

Easy4u portal

Is your charger not broken due to damage? Then please contact our Customer Service. We can then help you further so you can get back to work as soon as possible!

Of course, when your device is stolen, it is incredibly annoying! In specific cases, the theft of your device will be covered by the warranty. This varies per situation.

You should first report the theft to the police. Without a report, we cannot help you.

After this, you can send the report to administratie@rentcompany.nl. We will then contact you to discuss whether and what we can do for you.

After every repair, you get a 6-month warranty on the part we have replaced and the work we have carried out. On a battery that has been replaced, you get a 12-month warranty.

For more information, please check our Terms and Conditions.

After logging in with the school code you received from your school or educational institution, you will be taken directly to the right webshop. Here you will find the selection we put together with your school.

When you place an order with us, you can be 100% sure that you always get the right device that meets the requirements of your school.

Go to order page

For each student, the school together with The Rent Company decides which products to choose from. This selection is aligned with the school pathway. Several things are taken into account, such as:

• Does the device have sufficient storage and RAM capacity?
• Is the device fast enough?
• Does the device have other features such as a touchscreen?

We look at many more things, of course. But based on this, together we will make a choice to offer one or more devices in your school or educational institution's webshop.

Go to order page

At The Rent Company, we offer convenience & certainty. Because we make the right selection together with the school or educational institution in advance, you always make the right choice. In addition, we always provide all our devices in combination with the Easy4u all-in-one subscription.

All devices come standard with a rubber bumper, extra strong hinges and a hardened screen. This ensures that the device can stand up to use by students. Watch the video below to find out more.

Go to order page

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

Compared to a normal computer, a Chromebook stores and processes everything in the cloud, an online server. Therefore, a Chromebook does not require local storage.

Was the first invoice debited twice? If your subscription started after the 10th of the month, we will collect twice during the first debit. This is because you always pay one month in advance. After that, we will debit once every 24th of the month.

If you still have questions about this, please feel free to contact us.

My login details don't work
You have received two emails from us separately sharing the username and password. In both emails you will find instructions on how to install G-Data.

A safe laptop is extremely important! With parental controls, you can let your child use the internet with complete peace of mind. If you like to keep control of this, we recommend using the free application Family Link.

Click the button below to go to the Family Link page.

We hear it quite often: you've ordered the Logitech Signature M650 mouse, but can't find the USB dongle. The USB dongle is safely stored in the mouse itself. You can easily slide off the bottom of the mouse. There you will find the dongle that you can plug into your device.

It may be possible that your laptop (Lenovo 300w) thinks it's in tablet mode. Normally this only happens when the laptop is folded in half, but because of a bug in the software, this can also happen due to other influences. For example, by a metal object coming close to the laptop or when 2 laptops are lying on top of each other.

The latest BIOS update solves this problem in most cases. You can install this by following the steps below:

• Go to this page and enter the serial number.
• Go to ''Drivers & Software.''
• Click on ''Select Drivers''.
• Click on ''BIOS/UEFI''.
• Click ''Download'' next to BIOS Update and install the software.

Are you still encountering problems after the BIOS update? Then report your laptop for repair.

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

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.

Issue not resolved?  Perhaps the issue lies somewhere else. For technical support you can contact your customer support.

Below is a step-by-step plan, with which you can get your webcam working again:

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

2. In Windows, check that the camera is working:
- Click the start button and open the camera application.
- If the camera has an image, the problem is in the other program.

3. Go to Start → Settings → Privacy → Camera and check that Access to the camera for this device is enabled and that the application has access.

4. Check that all drivers are installed by installing Support Assist on a Dell laptop and have the program install the latest updates.

2. Go to start → settings → system → sound

3. See if under ""Testing your microphone"" the bar moves when you make sound

4. At ""Choose your input device"" check if the right device is chosen there

5. Verify that all drivers are installed by installing Support Assist on a Dell laptop and having the program install the latest updates.

Issue not resolved? Perhaps the issue lies somewhere else. For technical support you can contact your customer support.

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

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.

Issue not resolved? Perhaps the issue lies somewhere else. For technical support you can contact your customer support.
