The men and women of Aaron’s team in Sterling Illinois is by far the best customer service experience I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with .

Aaron's

I have never had a bad experience with Aaron's, and this experience was great just like always. I ordered a mattress set and had it delivered. The employees I dealt with at the store were very nice and helpful, and so were the delivery men. The delivery men Adam and Corey were polite and fast. When Adam arrived at my home he introduced himself and waited a safe distance from my door until he was invited in, he professionally and nicely asked me where I wanted my mattress and gave me a run down of how they would set it up which I appreciated They assembled the bed and had us make sure it was exactly where we wanted it before leaving. The great workers at Aaron's is what always keeps me coming back!!

How it works here

Most stores don't require a traditional credit check. Approval is typically based on proof of income, a valid ID, and proof of residence, often the same day.

Recent pay stub, bank statement, or benefits letter

Shopping for rent-to-own in Sterling

Getting the best deal on rent-to-own takes a little preparation. Here are tips to help you make an informed decision at any of the 1 store in Sterling.

Compare stores side by side

Check the store listing above for ratings, products offered, and contact details before making your visit.

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. Illinois has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

Illinois law

What Illinois law gives you before you sign

Illinois regulates rent-to-own under Illinois 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.

Illinois Rental-Purchase Agreement Act 815 ILCS 175/1 to 175/35
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of periodic payments, total cost, cash price, description of property, early purchase option, and rein...
Early buyout rights Consumer may purchase property at any time by paying 50% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.
