How to rent an H100 today

Work out how many H100s the job needs. If the answer is more than one, check the H200, B200 and B300 tables first. One newer card may replace the group.

In the H100 table, keep the rows marked Start now whose smallest rental matches your size. Rows marked No GPUs, Gated or Quota are not for today. Rows marked Not checked are unknown.

The H100 is easier to start than the newest cards, because more providers have it. It is not certain. Sizes of eight sell out before single cards.

Some providers let you start within minutes of signing up. Others give a new account a limit of zero for large GPUs and ask you to request more. Some ask for a deposit first. You find out by trying.

Start it, wait until you can log in, and note how long that took. Run one small piece of real work. Stop the machine. Then read the charge.

That one test shows the billing unit, whether booting was billed, and whether storage keeps costing after the stop.

Record the price, the unit, the smallest rental, the boot time and the date. Do the same at a second provider. Now you have two prices you have proved, which is worth more than a long list you have not.

Runcrate offers GPUs you can start now, in about four minutes. One command adds Runcrate to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, with browser sign-in and no key to paste, so an agent can launch a GPU with a real shell. Billing is by the second on most GPUs, and booting is never billed. Runcrate can start an H100 now from $3.87 per GPU-hour.
