Laptop Rentals for Business Travel

When I first started traveling for the insurance company I work for, I found it to be a bit of a hassle. Traveling in itself is a hassle these days; it seems as though there are new rules and regulations every time I fly, but traveling for business can make things much harder. In addition to my personal belongings in a suitcase, carry-on bag, and my purse, I was forced to carry my work materials which included my heavy company laptop. Not only was it cumbersome and one extra thing for me to hope I didn't lose or misplace while waiting to board my flight, but often times, getting it through security could be a pain.

Last week, I found myself flying to both Orlando, Florida and San Jose, California, before heading back home to Roswell, GA by Friday. That's a lot of flying. When you travel as much as I do, you look for ways to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible. While surfing the web one night from a hotel room, I ran across the website, Rentacomputer.com. I saw that you could rent almost any laptop (Apple or PC) with WiFi and have it delivered to your destination. I put in a call to one of their Tech Travel Agents. With one easy call, I was able to tell them what sort of laptop I needed and have them deliver it to each company I had to visit, all over the United States. Not only did I not have to carry my company-issued laptop on the planes, but I didn't have to carry it to and from my hotel rooms and business meetings. This saves so much time!

I rented the laptop for the day, at an unbelievable low price, and it was set up and ready for me to use for my presentation. All I had to do was connect to the internet to access my office files remotely; it was just like using the company laptop. From now on, when I have to fly, I will be renting a laptop from Rentacomputer.com. Their friendly people, quality products, and fast service were enough to make me a loyal customer.

Keeping Your Belongings Safe During Holiday Travel

When you think of TSA you think security but did you know that in the year, airlines lost 7 bags for every 1,000 passengers? That is true according to the Department of Transportation. A steadily rise each year from 2002, when the industry lost 3.84 bags for every 1,000 fliers. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) estimates that, “for each of it’s employees who touches a bag, six to 10 airline or airport employees and contractors touch the same bag once it's out of the passenger's sight, increasing the chances of loss or theft.” Full Story Here

Granted, this is not the kind of thing you want to hear about during the holiday season yet, getting your belongings rummaged through and your valuables or much needed medication stolen would be far worse.

So while you are planning you trip to go see “Aunt Jane” in California why not take a little extra precautions to keep your belongings safe and to get you through check points faster. Here are some tips.

Carry valuable jewelry and medications on your person – anything stolen or lost is usually never reimbursed.

Consider shipping your luggage and gifts – A new service like Luggage Free has emerged as ways to bypass the hassles of checking bags. You jus pack your suitcases as usual no special packaging needed. Shipping slips and return slips are mailed to you with a pickup time scheduled. If the bags are being sent to a hotel, the concierge will typically call customers to let them know their belongings have arrived. There is also the option of simply mailing bags and/or packages by using the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx Corp. or UPS Inc. Full Story Here

Computers are a big target and space issues can prevent you from keeping your carry-on with you from check point to check point. It is best to leave your computer at home. Consider renting a computer for your travel needs. It can arrive at your event or hotel loaded with the software you need and ready to go.Computer Rental Story Here

Planning ahead will help you avoid hassles at check points and worry about security issues. New options can lessen the stress of getting on a plane when all you have to take is yourself and everything you need is on its way keeping your holiday season happy.
