New Rentsmart Price Point Gives Consumers Access to the Latest Technology for Less Than the Cost of a Cup of Coffee

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, July 29, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Driven by the thirst of Australian consumers to keep up to date with the latest technology products, RentSmart, a leading provider of rental technology financing, has lowered its minimum financing price point to $330 to enable customers to access a wider range of new technology products.

Consumers and businesses can now access the latest technology including netbooks, laptops, printers, mp3 players, SmartPhones and computer software for as little as $3.20 week.

"The electrical retailing market is constantly evolving and both consumers and businesses are always looking to keep up to date with the latest developments," said Ken Ferro, General Manager of Sales & Marketing at RentSmart. "We've therefore introduced this new lower qualifying price point to give our customers better access to the latest technology they want for less than the price of a cup of coffee."

The new lower price point means businesses and consumers will now be able to rent computers, laptops as well as lower priced electronics and enjoy the added value that RentSmart offers including free online data transfer, remote data access as well as free online data backup to keep all their mobile safe and secure. In addition, the inclusion of a free loaner laptop should their laptop rental get stolen or break down means customers need never be without the technology they've come to rely on day-to-day.

By using RentSmart customers not only avoid the upfront capital costs that are associated with purchasing technology but they can also upgrade to the latest models more easily at the end of term, with the benefits of the RentSmart upgrade advantage.

"Four years ago, we didn't have netbooks, certainly no iPads and SmartPhones were a little more brick like, but today, these items are all commonplace," said Ferro.

"For customers, the beauty of renting their equipment now is that they can easily upgrade to the latest equipment when new technology comes along."
