Just checking: by “hire” you mean rent... is that correct? UK English vs American English can be confusing.
I suspect you won’t get a huge response because most people on the forum own multiple Macs and will find any excuse to buy more. So, not a lot of Mac renters here. Having said that though, if I Google “rent Mac book uk” I get several hits. Maybe one will suit your needs.

It'll be horribly expensive. Short term rentals where you can cancel early will probably set you back something like £20 a week...
You OK with throwing away an easy £500-£600 just to "keep you going"?
I’m not sure of ever heard of anywhere here in the UK that hires/rents Macs or any other laptops or desktop computers. Then again I’ve never looked. Wouldn’t you be better off buying a second hand/reconditioned Mac?
Yes I do mean rent. A Google search does bring up quite a few, this why I wondered if anyone had personal experience.
No, but I am ok with doing a bit of research. If I’m looking at that sort of cost a refub / M1 Macbook Air might be an option.
Thanks all.
That would be your best option. A refurb M1 MBA and at least you can sell it later and get something back which in the long run will work either the same or better without the issue of renting and the liabilities it can bring.
