Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Desert Hot Springs.

It’s certainly an awesome place to go. If you wanna get some stuff that’s the place to go take care of you and if you need to get it fixed, I’ll fix it for you so there’s nothing negative about it. It’s a beautiful system. I wish everybody did it.

I had a really great experience at this rent a center, and I can't say enough good things about Marisela. She is super helpful and really went the extra mile to assist me. Her friendly attitude and knowledge made my visit enjoyable. I also want to mention that the store is always neat whenever I get the chance to go in. It’s obvious they care a lot about keeping a welcoming space for their customers. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Rent-A-Center

Bought an awesome desktop set which included a mouse n keyboard and the guy Jesus switched out the original mouse for a better quality 1 and even came over to help me set it up to access it! Costumer service was great and I can't wait to buy something else. They even call to offer promotional deals!!

This is how it works: pick out things you either can't or don't want to buy outright and "rent" them. If you like the items, pay them off during the same as cash window so you don't accrue additional fees. If you go past that, it costs more because they carry all of the risk by extending you the lease to own option. Pay your bill on time and you never hear from them. If you read a review someone is getting calls, it's likely they aren't paying the bills for a long time. The people are pretty nice, generally helpful, and display more etiquette when talking to them on the phone than you see in your average business. I frequently use this company for try before you buy type purchases, and I have used this store twice to get furniture. Delivery is free, and I can see it in my space before I commit to paying the full cost. If I like it, I just pay it off, and it doesn't end up being any more or less expensive than buying it from another store. In fact, even if you have the money to buy outright, I'd recommend getting something new from these people to see how it fits in your space first. I generally don't buy used stuff from them, but you can often get items new if you don't mind waiting for them to get it in from somewhere else. TL;DR great people, reasonable prices, easy delivery. Pay your bills on time and pay it off early if you can to save money.
