See if your hotel provides Florida computer rental services

If you're holding a conference or retreat at a hotel, find out whether they provide computer rental. Florida hotels often have audio-visual (AV) departments and business offices to set up presentations and meetings, provide support, and rent computers and other machines.

I recommend: The Fairmont and Mandarin Oriental offer PC and business equipment rentals and other technology services.

Look for local companies that provide Florida computer rentals

There are many companies that can provide you with a Florida computer. Rent one computer or several, for a day or a longer term. One advantage local companies have is familiarity with the area, and a local reputation to uphold.

I recommend: Look for a local company that offers expert configuration and setup. Comp-U-Rent is a Florida computer rental company that can assist with large or small orders. Sun Atlantic offers custom software and configurations, on-site setup, and 24-hour tech support. Best Computer Rentals is also a good choice for a Florida computer. Rent a Windows PC or Apple computer for a short or long term. They assist in on-site setup and networking.

Use a national company for FL computer rental

National companies can offer long- and short-term FL computer rental, as well as configuration and tech support.

I recommend: Rentacomputer, Rush Computer Services, and Meeting Tomorrow are a few of the companies that provide service in Florida. They have short- and long-term leases and some have an option to purchase the computer at the end of the rental period. In addition to computers, they rent services, printers and other equipment.
