What can I say good about Showplace, well for one everything I've been involved with them for About maybe eight or nine years and they've always been wonderful anytime I've ever needed anything. They've been there and they've had it. I met them through my mom who was renting from them and when she passed, I took over what she had rented from them and just went on from there. I will always hold them in high regard and anytime I need something. I will call them. Thank you, Showplace.

I was in need for a set of washer & dryer and this place couldn’t of been a more better of a place to rent to own company any problems I’ve had they was happy to make sure my experience was extremely satisfied. Then 3 months later I returned to add a refrigerator onto my bill and I’ve had nothing but satisfaction from this company. I also can’t forget to say from the time I walked into the business I was greeted and helped till the time I was done picking my items and when my items was delivered the two gentlemen were very polite and caring about all of my property they assemble it and set it all up for me and I have not had any problems since then. Thank you so much to Showplace…. It’s a 100% recommended company the company makes you feel like they wouldn’t put you in anything that they wouldn’t want in their own home….

Most stores in Columbus will ask for the following to get started.

Driver's license, state ID, or passport

Recent pay stub, bank statement, or benefits letter

Shopping for rent-to-own in Columbus

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 15 stores in Columbus.

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

Ohio law

What Ohio law gives you before you sign

Ohio regulates rent-to-own under Ohio 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.

Ohio Rental-Purchase Agreement Act Ohio Rev. Code §§ 1351.01 to 1351.12
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of payments, total cost, cash price, description of property, payment schedule, early purchase option,...
Early buyout rights Consumer may purchase the property at any time by paying 50% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.
