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.

Jonathan Dunn made my experience easy and was extremely helpful. I will definitely be using your service so long as he is working there. In my opinion, he needs a raise because of how well he did in helping me find precisely what I needed, even making suggestions to help me with my latest move in.

Very rude employees! Man had an attitude the whole time I was speaking with him. And then I was hung up on before getting the information about a product I was inquiring about. My boyfriend was also hung up on a few minutes before I called about the same product. Very unprofessional behavior here!!!! 😡

Worst Rent-A-Center experience ever. God forbid you have a bad week on the week your bill is due. If you’re late once, they harass you with phone calls and threats. THEN - if you call to ask to push a payment back a few days, AND make a double payment that day, they refuse to work with you. “You either bring a payment in or bring the item in” is exactly what we were told when asking for a little leeway. Needless to say, we let them come pick it up, and refuse to ever give a RAC our money again. Higher ups will be contacted tomorrow morning.
