Why is Direct Appliance Rentals Better Alternative to Rent4Keeps?
Pricing & Term Length
Direct Appliance Rentals shows both 12 and 24 month pricing on our website – shorter term means you end up paying much less and can own the product sooner. What’s important is that you can see this pricing directly on each product page. No hiding behind cheaper looking 36 month term.
“the price is much lower than competitors”The service was great, emails were replied to nearly instantly, the application went through extremely quickly and delivery was the next day. The price is much lower than competitors and I shopped around a lot before finding direct appliance rentals! We have had our 50″ TV for less than a week and have already started recommending friends to the rent buy system – overall extremely happy and looking on the website to upgrade other appliances!

Rent4keeps show their prices based on weekly rates over 36 month term. That’s why rent4keeps prices sometimes can seem low at first glance. But 36 month terms are in fact more expensive – you’ll end up paying much more money over the 3 years than if the term is 1 or 2 years only. No other price options are shown on rent4keeps website. So how are you supposed to make a decision?
| Be careful. The longer the rental term the more you end up paying in total! |

Amazing! But still, the prices are higher than in the store!
Yes, it will always be more beneficial for you to buy outright and we recommend that if your financial situation allows.
| Renting is a way to have what your kids need right now. |
But there are times and circumstances when that’s just not possible and money is tight. In those cases renting can be a way out of a bind. A way to have the appliance or device you need or your kids need – right now – while paying a small weekly fee instead of a large sum of cash up front.
Plus if you get a personal loan instead of rental agreement you will end up paying interest to the bank (getting approved for a loan can be hard sometimes dependable on your credit history). More importantly if your appliance stops working we will fix or replace it for you. Bank won’t do that, so that’s another huge benefit and reason to rent instead.
Happy Customers
At Direct Appliance Rentals we let our many satisfied long-term customers do the talking to show you why we’re the perfect rent4keeps alternative. See all the customer testimonials here.
“treated me personally not just as another client”I have already recommended you to several of my friends as I found dealing with you absolutely fantastic. I am so in love with my new fridge. You treated me personally not just as another client which I found fantastic. Even after 50 million phone calls from me you still didn’t get short or sharp or rude with me which I have found other companies do. I will definitely be using your service again.

Fast 4 Hour Approval & Online Process
Direct Appliance Rentals will assess your application within just 4 (business) hours. Speedy! From start to finish the process can be done all online via email and/or phone (but we’re happy to send a local representative over to assist you as well). This is great if you’re busy and prefer more convenient, fast and hassle free communication.
“fantastic that it could all be done by email”I love my new dryer, it is efficient, quiet and just fantastic. My appliance was delivered the same day my signed contract was received by you, which was great and even the delivery guy was very helpful and nice. I thought it was fantastic that it could all be done by email as I work full time and never have the time to personally go to a store or business to sign contract etc. and found this an innovative idea that I have not come across with other companies I have had dealings with. All in all my experience with Direct Appliance Rentals has been a very positive one. Kelly M, Heathcote, Victoria |
Rent4keeps is offering same day application and approval. Once you contact rent4keeps, their local representatives come to you.
Our RentPlus© Program
Instead of a complicated rent-to-own or rent-to-buy program where there could be a big buyout figure at the end of the term, Direct Appliance Rentals have a very special RentPlus© program! Thanks to our RentPlus©program you may be able to own the very product you have been renting by buying it off us from as little as $1 at the end of the contract.
An end of lease statement will be sent to you no later than 90 days from the end of the agreement where we can negotiate what will happen with the product. It’s that simple! No catches!
“DAR customers can own the very item they have been renting”Thanks for your efficient, friendly service! I love my laptop! Before choosing Direct Appliance Rentals, I looked into the deals offered by two other companies. Other hire/buy companies expect their customers to pay out their contract, and then return the hired item in exchange for a different item of ‘similar’ age and specifications – but not necessarily the same condition. Those deals seemed like a rip-off to me – there’s no way I’d be happy with that. Direct Appliance Rentals offer a service that is more fair to their customers. Once the hire contract is finished, DAR customers can own the very item they have been renting, using and taking good care of for the term of the contract – rather than having their prized item taken away and replaced with another item in goodness knows what kind of condition. I’m already thinking about what I might lease/buy from you next year once I have completed the hire/buy on the laptop! Allie S, Newport, Victoria |
Rent4keeps mention on their website as an answer to question “When will I own my goods?” that there are no costs at the end of the rental term or when the agreement amount is concluded. Rent4keeps say they may gift the product to a person of your choice at the end of the rental term. But full terms and conditions are only available on application. So please make sure you read it carefully to confirm.
Special Rental Bundles
Direct Appliance Rentals offer an option to bundle up products and rent them all at once. This not only saves you time and the hassle but more often than not money too, because our rental packages are cheaper than renting the items separately! Get the appliance essentials, 3-in-1 furniture bundle, tv and gaming console package or choose a computer or tablet bundle. We also offer bedroom suites, baby furniture bundles and a gardening bundle.
“Very knowledgeable in all their product lines”I am writing to the team at Direct Appliance Rentals to know how excited I have been being a customer of theirs. They have been very helpful I have found them very easy to deal with they are very knowledgeable in all their product lines and services and I will be continuing to fully endorse and refer recommend to all friends colleges and others. Ken A, Berkeley, New South Wales |
Rent4keeps do not offer an option to rent a bundle on their website.

“Kept up to date and well informed”I’d like to say a few words of gratitude to Direct Appliance Rentals. As a disabled pensioner, no other company would loan to me. I found Karina very easy and friendly to talk to, the lcd tv i received was exactly as I ordered, I was kept up to date and informed well with all information I requested. As a very happy client i will have no hesitation to recommend DAR to anyone. Peter T, Wantirna, Vic |
