BookRenter lets you rent a book for as long as 125 days—the average semester length—or as little as 30. A semester rental is usually about 50% or less of the retail price with the price falling as the length of rental decreases. They give you an option to purchase the book brand new but that's where the deal finding at BookRenter ends—their business model is definitely geared towards you renting and not buying, the purchase price is full retail.

But, Do I always want to rent my textbooks?
I like the idea of renting, but sometimes I like to keep certain books from classes I really enjoyed. I understand that the main draw to renting is the price, but they actually aren't always cheaper, and that coupled with the fact that I like to keep some of them often leads me to purchase mine. However, whether renting or purchasing, I use http:://www.bigwords.com to combat the high prices. They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online retailers and rental sites to find you the best prices. And for books you purchased you can even use them at the end of the semester to search for resellers to sell you books back to. It's pretty cool.
