Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Augusta.
Nothing bad to say about my experience here. They were super accommodating and got me in and out of there in record time and with exactly what I needed. Their option to buy out your item in 6 months completely eliminates the massive interest you pay on the item. Definitely worth it! Edit: they will call you daily after you miss a payment. Your best bet is to be honest and tell them when you can't make a payment. They will work with you. Do not ghost them. These people are amazing here and understand the stress of living paycheck to paycheck.

I have rented and now own several items from this particular store and I have found all to be friendly but one woman named Donna. She doesn’t smile like the rest of them and isn't very pleasant. She is the reason I am only giving four and not five stars. And because I deal with mostly the other staff, is the reason I will continue to do business there. I also like the way they treat me as a repeat customer for years. And Donna almost put my money on someone else’s account until I mentioned an item I have and the other person didn’t have that item. She said oops wrong person, what’s your name? And I think she’s the asst mngr. 🤔
