How does this all work? Well, Grover has an "own less, waste less" philosophy. They believe that the recirculated devices they rent will end up serving many more people instead of being thrown away after just one use, just to be upgraded to the latest model.
How to get started? Grover has a very easy-to-use app in English and German that you can download from the App Store here, or Google Play here, but you can also check out their website in English here. Once you have created your account, you can view their very large range of tech. They offer a pretty impressive selection, for example, you can rent things like small and large kitchen appliances, sports equipment, electric pianos, phones, laptops, sports watches, laser hair removal devices, hairdryers, PlayStations, and even e-bikes! So once you have chosen your tech, you checkout and pay your first installment, and the device will be delivered to your door in a few days.
How much does it cost? The price you pay per month depends on the length of your rental, so the longer you commit to renting an item, the lower the price. At the end of your rental period, you can choose to extend your rental, upgrade it, or return it, and in some cases, you can put in an offer to purchase it too. The rental options are 1,3,6 or 12+ months so you have a lot of flexibility. The monthly rental costs are a lot lower than the purchase price.
Do I get new tech? Every device you receive will either be new or "like new". We have received refurbished devices and they look and function like they are brand new, so this promise is true.
What if I break the device? They offer Grover Care with every rental for free, which means you don't have to worry about mistakenly damaging the device. Grover Care offers up to 90% coverage. Normal signs of wear and tear are ok, so you can rent your tech worry-free. Click here to read about their policy on wear and tear versus damaged tech.
I'm in, what can I do with my old smartphone/tablet? If you have an old smartphone or tablet that you wish to get rid of, they offer a trade-in program where you can have your phone or tablet purchased by them. The assessment is all done virtually. Click here to find out more.
In summary, their service is great and available in English, they offer a huge range of items for rent, they give a lot of flexibility, and the devices are all insured with Grover Care. We have been a customer with them for two years now, and the customer service and quality of devices has been fantastic.
