I needed a recliner chair for my mom whom is about to have back surgery. It was a quick/easy process to set up over the phone. Stephanie was the one that answered my call and she did a great job! Her customer service skills are 👌👌 👍 👍 I will definitely be back to this location in the future!

I have never had a bad experience with the team here at Aaron's, they have always been very professional and understanding, when things sometimes have come up. I would recommend the team at Aaron's to anyone I know who needs to buy something with flexible terms. Yes it is higher interest but when I needed something they have always come through for me. My best advice is to anyone is to sign up for easy pay that way you never miss a payment and then watch your arrangements get better over time. Thank you Aaron's and the team at rivers ave for always taking care of me.

The five stars I am giving is for Steve. Steve isn’t just a great manager he is a great person with an amazing heart. Being human wins every time. Give him honesty and he’ll see how far you go with it. Thanks for great customer service Steve!😊

Excellent customer service. Made my first experience easy, comfortable, & convenient. They don’t forget who you are, will call to give you reminders/follow up, & seem to actually care about customer service, which is almost Easton to these days.

Stores here include Aaron's (2049 Savannah Hwy), Rent-A-Center (1660 Sam Rittenberg Blvd), Aaron's (7130 Rivers Ave).

How it works here

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

Valid Photo ID

Driver's license, state ID, or passport

Recent pay stub, bank statement, or benefits letter

Shopping for rent-to-own in Charleston

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 3 stores in Charleston.

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

South Carolina law

What South Carolina law gives you before you sign

South Carolina regulates rent-to-own under South Carolina 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.
