Computer Rentals a Commodity

Technology Rental Equipment is a CommoditySupply and demand issues come into play in the computer rental business too. Supply can be affected by the number of competitors and total computer rental units (known as a rental pool) in a given market area. Having a Tech Travel Agent book your technology rental needs means you will always get the equipment you need. You are not dependent on one single equipment vendor. Tech Travel Agents obtain equipment via large technology pools from multiple sources across the US, Canada and Europe.

Hiring Computer Problems in UK

Due to overtime and weekend labour restrictions in the UK and Europe, installations for large projects such as conventions, trade shows and conferences need to be planned more in advance than in the US or Canada. Trucks can not operate on Sunday in some areas, and labour is scarce on weekends. Depending on the size of your installation you may have to start on a Wednesday for a Monday show due to the fact that you can not set up over the weekend.
