Renting Textbooks Worth It? Pros and Cons

  • Renting Textbooks Worth It? Pros and Cons

    Posted by Drew Hardy on August 10, 2024 at 10:39 am EDT

    Hey everyone, I’m thinking about renting textbooks for my upcoming semester instead of buying them. The cost of textbooks is getting ridiculous, and I’ve heard that renting can save a lot of money. Has anyone here rented textbooks before? How was your experience, and did you think it was worth it?

    Use bookfinder.com to check out almost every source available in both new and used condition. I have saved money by buying used and even like new book half price from Spain several years ago. Renting is often the same price as buying a used book. With a used book you can always resell it for about the same amount as what you paid for it.

    Hey all! I rented textbooks last semester through https://booksrun.com/books/rent and it was a game-changer. I saved a ton of money compared to buying them new. The books were in great condition, and the return process was easy. It’s definitely worth it if you want to cut down on expenses without sacrificing quality. Highly recommend!
