What Customers Are Saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in North Charleston.

Corey and team are great! You are greeted when you come in and left to look around while you make up your mind on your purchase. There's always friendly conversation and they never try to pull anything over on you. Very honest and kind people. I have leased five contracts with them so far and will continue to come back!

Amber is by far the best manager I've done business with when it comes to Rent-A-Center and I've done business with them several times she always makes sure things are done properly. The first time even went as far as helping me out from a different store to make sure that my order was correct Her and Shana do a hell of a job keeping that store alive always easy to communicate with and I never have to worry about any of my issues going unheard or unhandled will definitely continue to do business with them You can tell they take pride in good customer service.

Shana was wonderful to work with and made the entire appliance rental process so easy. She went above and beyond in assisting and ensuring that I understood all of the required tasks that needed to be completed.
