Reviews: Campus Book Rentals & Operation Smile

Campus Book Rentals is your textbook alternative.  Instead of buying your text books that you will most likely return anyways, why not rent them from Campus Book Rentals. 

Here are some of the perks of renting textbooks through Campus Book Rentals:
- save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- free shipping both ways
- 30-day risk-free returns
- can highlight in the textbooks
- flexible renting periods
- offer virtually any textbook for rent
- they pay students for referring friends
- they award scholarships every semester
- they donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented

Campus Book Rentals have been a trusted source to renting books since 2007.  They have live customer support. They also have the largest selection of books in the nation. 

They have an easy rental process.  Just search for the textbooks you need.  Rent your textbooks (you'll need to create an account to do so).  Receive your textbook and then return them once you are finished using them.  They will provide the return envelope for you to return them as shipping is free.  

Here is an example of how much it would cost to rent a book. 
At Campus Book Rentals you can rent the book Statistics For Psychology for just $15.19.  Or you can purchase this very same book at Amazon for $142.95.  You may even have to purchase it at your school's bookstore for even more.  Now at the end of the class you'll most likely return the book in hopes that the school will buy it back to get some of your money back.  Either way, renting the book at Campus Book Rentals would be a better deal. 

Here is a great video of how exactly Campus Book Rentals works.

What I think is really neat that Campus Book Rentals does is they donate a portion of the proceeds to Operation Smile, an organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it.  How great is that!  Campus Book Rentals will help donate funds for over 1,000 life saving cleft lip surgeries.  This surgery gives children a long term improvement in the quality of their life.
