Rent 4 Keeps is one of the largest national appliance rental companies in Australia.
One of the attractions to Rent4Keeps is they don’t restrict you to products in their range or supplier relationships, allowing you to rent any product from any retail supplier of your choice.
One thing to note in Rent For Keeps website is the use of the word ‘Rent To Own*’ which they highlight in regularly on their site which is very misleading as in their terms it states
References to ‘rent to own’ and or ‘rent to buy’ are explanatory only to ensure the consumer, customer, user or enquirer are clear that there is no further fees payable to rent4keeps after the term of the rental. The customer nominates the person to receive the gift at the end of the term and there are no further payments required at the end of the rental agreement.
So in reality they aren't renting to own at all they are simply renting to "gift" to someone else. It's these kind of terms we want to make customers aware of just so they fully understand what they are signing up for. Rent4Keeps is really Rent2Gift based on the terms on their website.
