Submitting your rental list to MBS is fast, easy, and doesn’t require a contract. It’s a simple way to:

  • Offer low-cost options for students: Help students save money on course materials.
  • Drive foot traffic to your store: Rentals encourage students to visit your store at the beginning and end of term.
  • Secure guaranteed rebates: Submit your list early to lock in rebate amounts for qualifying titles. You can update your quote as new adoptions come in.

Don’t Forget: Guaranteed Buyback

You can also submit your course material list for a guaranteed buyback quote. Just include all potential titles, and MBS will send back guaranteed purchase amounts for qualifying books. You can update your quote throughout the term as needed.

How to Submit Your Rental Quote

  1. Create a list of potential rental and guaranteed buyback titles.
  2. Submit your list to MBS.
  3. Update your quote as new adoptions are received.
  4. Receive guaranteed rebate amounts for qualifying titles.
  5. Choose which titles to offer and set your rental prices.

If your store is an MBS Store Technology Solutions partner, use your MBS Rental application and select Work with My Rental Quotes.

If you’re not a systems partner, email your list to rental@mbsbooks.com.
