Rent-A-Center is a locally owned franchise that is part of a nationwide network of furniture, electronic, appliance and computer rental stores. The store requires no credit check before renting, and it matches any competitor's pricing. Rent-A-Center will deliver and set up rented items, and provide on-site service and repairs as part of the rental service. If a customer decides to purchase an item they have rented, 100% of the rent they have paid is applied to the purchase price.
