Inside Rent-A-Center

What you can rent here

Rent-A-Center is a national rent-to-own chain with 1,948 stores across all 50 states, reaching communities from Lawrence, Massachusetts and Kissimmee, Florida to Harlingen, Texas and Booneville, Mississippi. Launched in 1973 in Wichita, Kansas, it was the first national chain to scale the rent-to-own model, building standardized showrooms stocked with new, name-brand merchandise. Stores carry furniture, appliances, electronics, computers, mattresses, gaming, and smartphones on flexible weekly or monthly lease agreements, and like most rent-to-own stores they typically do not require a traditional credit check. Rent-A-Center holds a 4-star Google rating across more than 152,000 reviews. Compare Rent-A-Center on VRTO alongside other rent-to-own stores near you, with hours, ratings, and what each carries.

I had a family member visit, and I wanted to offer more than the sofa. After making a quick call to Rent--a center; I had arraigned for delivery the very next day! It's so nice. I want them to always be available for fantastic customer service. Excellent quality and fast delivery. It can't be beat!

My husband and I have been a part of the Rent A Center family since 1996-'97. Bo and Jess are like family to us all. We have only had 1 issue, which was resolved instantly. I highly recommend every one of my family and friends to go to Rent A Center. If there's something you are looking for, and it's not on the showroom floor, Jess will look into it, and if possible, will order it for you. Great people, great company, we will always come back for more!
