Smallest rental
Answer in brief
The smallest rental is the fewest GPUs, for the shortest time, that a provider will rent you at the listed price.
Smallest rental in practice
For the newest cards the smallest rental is often a whole machine of eight. The price page prints the machine price divided by eight, and the hourly bill is that figure times eight.
Time is the other half. An offer that needs a month paid ahead has a smallest rental of one month. The tables on this site print the GPU count beside every price.
