What customers are saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Alabaster.

Went to Buddy's to get a head start on a Christmas item. Savannah was awesome!!!! Super friendly and very helpful. She is helping me make somebody very happy this year. The whole process was quick and easy and I walked out with exactly what I wanted.

Melissa Ray
Buddy's Home Furnishings

We could not be happier with the quality of the product, the quality of customer service, or just the communication we receive from shopping at Buddy's in Alabaster. We recently purchased a new home and even with the pandemic going on, the ownership and staff here worked tirelessly to ensure we received our orders. Not only did we receive them in a timely manner but the staff worked hard to put together and install everything we ordered for our home. They treated our home with so much respect like it was their own. They took with them every box, plastic cover, or piece of paper that came with them. I was so impressed to see them be set up so quickly and professionally. If you are wanting to furnish your home and not worry about the hassle and bothers of walking in a big-box furniture store, then you need to shop here. You won't be greeted but someone fighting with others to make a sale but a warm smile and friendly service. I can ensure you, the ownership takes a lot of pride in what they do and how they do it.

Compare stores side by side

Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.

Ask about early purchase options

Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.

Check store hours before you go

Hours can vary by location and may change on holidays. Call ahead or check the store listings above to confirm the store is open before making the trip. Many stores close earlier on weekends.

Read reviews from other customers

Customer reviews can reveal important details about service quality, delivery experience, and staff helpfulness. Check ratings on each store listing and click through for detailed reviews.

Estimate your total cost

Use the VRTO calculator to estimate your total rent-to-own cost before you visit. Knowing the full cost upfront helps you compare options and budget effectively.

Know your rights

Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. Alabama has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

Alabama law

What Alabama law gives you before you sign

Alabama regulates rent-to-own under Alabama Rental-Purchase Agreement Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.

This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.
