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.

What a joke. I come in wanting a Amana set. Overheard conversation that apparently you guys couldn't get a brand new washer. Okay..thats fine. I dont mind great conditioned appliances. But then want to charge me over $150 for the cheapest set you have. Nah. Im going to Aarons. I can get a brand new Whirlpool set for $138 a month. And they are better then Amana. I forgot why I dont go to RAC. They rip you out bad.

We went in the other day with my soon to be 6 year old boy and he was very excited! In turn he was a bit rowdy wanting to jump around from here to there and sit on everything (as one does, of course!) and every employee was amazing with him. They didn’t mind at all and the older man with glasses even offered him a juice box. They were very kind and patient. Delivery was also very well done and professionally, also QUICK. Next day! Very refreshing to have this experience! Our boys love their new bunk bed. Thank you so much!
