Kids Book Rental in India
RentToRead is a children's book rental service for ages 0 to 12, based in Noida and delivering across India. Every month we choose a box of 4, 6 or 8 books for your child, matched to their age, their interests and how they actually read. We deliver it free, collect it free when they are done, and the next box is already being chosen.
Children outgrow books fast. Renting means a steady supply of the right books at the right level, without a shelf full of books nobody reads any more.
How it works
- Tell us about your child. A short, free reading check (about 2 minutes) asks their age, what they love and how they read. Start the reading check.
- See their box. We show the books we would pick, each with a reason. Swap anything that isn't right.
- Choose a plan. Explorer (4 books a month), Confident Reader (6) or Big Reader (8), on a 3- or 6-month plan. A one-time Starter box is available too. See plans and prices.
- Books arrive. Delivery takes 4 to 5 days across India and is always free.
- Read, return, repeat. Pickup is free and arranged for you, so you never have to ask. Tell us how each book landed and the next box gets sharper.
What's included
- Books matched to your child's age, interests and reading level, across picture books, early readers, chapter books, fiction, non-fiction, mythology, adventure and humour, in English and Hindi.
- Free delivery and free pickup on every plan.
- A reading passport, stickers, badges and milestone surprises in every box.
