Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Des Moines.

I enjoy arona immensely Alexa and Betty are two very sweet people Alexis always waited on me taking very good care of me I really really like her a lot in fact I don't go to nobody else but her to buy something

Kathleen Kimble
Arona

Arona to say the least is simply the best around! My husband and I are truly speechless about the electric bed/mattress we bought. I have told everyone around about the bed. For many many years now we have both woke up every day in all sorts of pain... back, neck, you name it. Even to the point that we were helping one another up and we are only in our young 40s. Since day one we have woke up with ZERO pain. It's like a miracle to say the least. And the payments are very reasonable and the cheapest around. Trust me I did my research before buying. We can't thank you enough Arona! The Julins 😁

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

Iowa law

What Iowa law gives you before you sign

Iowa regulates rent-to-own under Iowa 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.

Iowa Rental-Purchase Agreement Act Iowa Code §§ 537.3601 to 537.3624
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of payments, total cost, cash price, condition of the property, early purchase option, and any additio...
Payment cap protections Total cost of the rental-purchase agreement may not exceed 2.0 times the cash price of the property (200% cap).
