The convenience of RTR is awesome, and I’ll definitely use the service again, but the dress and purse that I got this time around need to be taken out of commission. The dress was obviously worn by so... See more

Best customer service 

They are wonderful. Always respond right away and are so pleasant to work with. Truly, my favorite customer service experience of any company and I feel like they always do the right thing.

5 Star Support

In a society where customer service seems to have fallen to the wayside RTR keeps it top of mind. I've consistently been pleased with all my rentals, but if there is a rare issue it has been resolved quickly and thoroughly. Quality is always there and I'm a dedicated customer because of it.

Charged me for pants I returned and never wore

Fairly expensive. Many clothes were very well-worn. Others fit oddly, so I probably wore about 20% of what I received over 12 months. I stopped the service when they made me pay for a pair of pants that I returned, claiming that I had not returned them. Additionally, they sometimes wouldn't send return labels making it difficult to return items, perhaps so that they could later charge for those items. It could be a great service, but was not.

Purchased online

Purchased online. Received super fast notification from RTR and received my dress within days. I was able to track the package and knew when it was to be delivered. The dress is in beautiful shape and I couldn't be happier! All set to wear on Thanksgiving day. Thank you RTR!

Rent the wrongway

Their desktop version and their app have different uses. It’s better to use the desktop version. Rules on how their service works could be explained better. I did end up getting a credit towards a membership that I did not want to my account. But when I ordered two discounted rented pieces from my rental I didn’t know I could keep them and I ended up shipping them all back so I never got what I really wanted. They did end up giving me a refund which they don’t normally do. Overall experience was very disappointing. Last customer service experience was very disappointing as it did not solve my receiving what I truly wanted.

Great concept, great service

I needed a formal dress and a cocktail dress for a wedding. A friend told me about RTR. Not only did I find two perfect dresses, but I had fun, fun, fun in the process. I became a member and am now renting pants, sweaters, and dresses every month. It's a little ray of sunshine to receive the deliveries. And the customer service is excellent, especially for new members.

Great Selections - Amazing Customer Service

The selections of dresses & gowns is amazing. The customer service at RTR is always above and beyond. They are always responsive whether you are using their text service or calling them.
Your clothing arrives promptly. Exchanges and replacements are expedited. Making returns couldn’t be any easier.

10 years using RTR, still love it

I’ve been using rent the runway for over 10 years for special events and I intermittently pay for the membership to get 5 to 10 items per month. I have been very happy with the quality of items, customer service, and the return process. I’ve also purchased several used items from rent the runway and have been happy with the quality. I will likely continue my membership into next year for my upcoming vacation in Hawaii.

Customer service is really helpful

Customer service is really helpful, quick and friendly! They help with problems and are quick to resolve. Such a differentiator today with too much AI chat and unfriendly reps. Really appreciate RTR.

RTR is ah-mazing 💜

RTR is ah-mazing all around. I’ve been a monthly member for over 4 years and have rented for special events multiple times. Love the brands and customer service is the best. It truly is an investment to feel and look great when I work or play. It also supports my goal of a minimalist wardrobe.
