Why Rent

Get home to find the washing machine hasn’t drained or the fridge hasn’t kept your beverages at the optimal temperature?

DON’T WORRY! Budget appliances has the solution!

Renting with Budget Appliances IS:

Cost Effective

Paying a large sum of money to buy an appliance is no longer viable for many people. When renting a small up-front cost is required (a bond and 2 weeks in advance), and manageable payments can be made weekly or fortnightly.

Creates flexibility

The needs of our customers change frequently. Renting appliances allows a level of flexibility you cannot achieve when purchasing outright.

Convenient

With free delivery, the appliances can quickly and easily be delivered to your doorstep or collected when your rental period has finished.

Hassle Free

Searching for appliances and finding competitive prices can be a time-consuming task. Finding a large sum of money to purchase the appliance can also cause major stress. Signing up with Budget Appliances is Hassle Free. With our easy to complete and understand rental contract, we can have the appliance to you within the week. The appliance can be easily returned once the rental period has finished.
