HTC Vive
Virtual Reality Rental
As low as
$50 / Day
Requires Compatible VR-Ready Laptop
The HTC Vive virtual reality headset is one of the most versatile vr headsets, and the Steam store has thousands of HTV Vive vr experiences available. Included in the HTC Vive rental are 2 HTC Vive Controllers and 2 HTC Vive Sensors. In addition, our partners provide 2 htc vive tripods for the sensors for FREE. You can move, pick things up, and even throw a punch in virtual reality, just as you would in real life. The HTC Vive requires a cleared space of at least 4 feet x 6 feet plus some space for the computer (or laptop) plus the sensors which you place on the permieter of the space.
If you need to rent a laptop, our partners offer a few different options (see below). Our partners make your rental easy by preloading the Oculus software and experiences you request plus update the computer before shipping.
When you rent HTC Vive, we include headphones and the AA batteries for the HTC Vive controllers.
If you want to buy your vr equipment, the virtual reality htc vive price is $499 at Amazon.
Before each use, we thoroughly disinfect our iPhone 11 rental equipment using bacteria- and virus-killing solutions. We follow guidelines presented by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to ensure that you as a consumer are kept safe and provide our products’ longevity. When equipment is returned, it is given an in-depth examination for damage and is re-sanitized using the process mentioned above. And thus, the cycle continues. If you have any questions about the sanitation process, please do not hesitate to inform your sales rep or let us know via our contact us form.
Virtual Reality Laptop Rental
NOTE: OUR PARTNERS ONLY LOAD HTC STEAM SOFTWARE AND GAMES TO LAPTOP RENTALS. THE HTC VIVE HEADSET CANNOT PLAY THESE EXPERIENCES WITHOUT A COMPATIBLE LAPTOP.
There are literally thousands of virtual reality games to choose from Steam Store, but this means it’s hard to know which ones to play. The Paradox of Choice.
To make it easy, below are some of our favorites. If you don’t know where to start, go with our Top 3 and add 2 more. Most people fall in love with one game and wind up playing it a LOT.
$5 / Game
$20 for 5 Games
Beat Saber (Top 3)
Whether you’re playing the Oculus Rift S, HTC Vive Pro or Playstation VR, Beat Saber is one of the most popular games in virtual reality. Your controllers become lightsabers and your must slice boxes that are timed with some amazingly fun music. This is definite crowd-pleaser and the first experience we recommend for anyone’s first taste of virtual reality. Watch out, you may work up a sweat.
Tilt Brush (Top 3)
Paint in 3D with an unlimited palette using Tilt Brush. This experience takes painting to a new level. You can move around and create art in space. Output your work as GIF and share it with others. You can also play Pictionary by having teams watch the picture get drawn on the laptop (or a bigger TV / projector if you rent the laptop with video out). It’s a ton of fun.
Space Pirate Trainer(Top 3)
Stand on a platform and shoot down waves of drones trying to take you down first. This is a fun shooting game that allows you to move around, dodging bullets and returning fire. Virtual reality shooting games are much more interactive, and this kid-friendly shooter is a ton of fun.
SuperHot
SuperHot is a mind-blowing game. Your faceless enemies only move as fast you do. You can dodge bullets, punch enemies, grab objects to throw, and shoot. This interactive game can get intense, in a good way.
When you receive the laptop, it will already be logged into one of our accounts. You are always welcome to download any FREE experience.

COVID-19 Notice
In response to COVID-19, we’ve re-confirmed with all of our partners that they thoroughly clean and disinfect each piece of equipment prior to shipping it our customers. It’s been standard operating procedure for eTech Rentals to carefully prepare every item that we ship for the best experience possible. In addition to shipping ready-to-use and clean equipment, we encourage you to also take some extra precautions. When possible, do not share equipment. This may require renting more than you anticipated, but it will increase the safety of all participants. If do choose share equipment, please thoroughly clean all components that have shared contact. This would be the faceplate for the VR headset and the keyboard for a laptop. When cleaning, please do not use alcohol or other chemicals on the VR lenses as this can cause damage. If you have any questions about how to keep the equipment clean, please ask the sales rep when you speak with them.
