How does renting college text books from Chegg work?

I'm looking into renting any books I need for next semester from online sources rather than paying around 90 bucks to do it from the school bookstore. I wanted to know how good is the service and how reliable is Chegg? And also, when you RETURN the rentals, how does that work?

Update:

And by returning it, I mean how does that whole process work? What do I have to do?

And then if there's anymore websites you know of to rent text books for cheap prices, please share!

    I've rented a book before, just not with chegg. You pay a certain amount to use it for a certain number of days, then you might just need to go online to your account, follow the steps to return, print out the shipping label they issue and drop it off at the carrier location. When I was going to return my book, my rental place issued me a UPS shipping label, so i just packed the book up, stick the label on and dropped it off at a UPS store.

    I find it to be less of a hassle if the campus bookstore at the college offers rental. Its less work for the student when you return it. I kind of regret that rental now because it was a textbook for an upper division class in my major and I wish I bought a copy to keep (instead of renting)

    I heard someone talk on TYT University saying they did it. They send you the book, you pay a few bucks a semester to have it, then send it back in when you're done
