New appliance rentals
An Introduction to the Appliance Rental industry:-
I'm sure many of us have been in a situation where we wish we had a little more money to tide us over until our next pay or Centrelink payment goes into our account. Maybe your washing machine or fridge stops working or some other unexpected expenses come along - things happen that just aren't planned or budgeted for.
Some people in this situation turn to what are known as "payday lenders" – these are businesses that usually loan small amounts of money over a short period of time, usually with high fees and interest rates attached. It is possible, when some of the fees and penalties are taken into account, that interest rates can sometimes top 600%.
So what do you do if your children need a laptop for school work or your fridge stops working?
Another option a lot of people in this situation turn to is buying goods off eBay. Unfortunately there is no way to guarantee a warranty and the condition of the product before you buy so it is a very easy way to lose money.
Direct Appliance Rentals has developed a 12 month RentPlus program to show our commitment to helping low-income families and customers receiving Centrelink payments around Australia. These customers don't have the necessary funds to buy new essential household products outright so rather than borrowing money to meet existing commitments or buying dodgy products that only last 3 months, we will look at how we can work together to help supply a new fridge, washing machine, computer, TV, bed, etc.
For 100% of our clients, we have always offered them a $1 buyout at the end of their term so they have the opportunity to keep the actual appliance that they have been taking care of and paying off. All of our products come with full manufacturers’ warranty and are brand new.
