Why should I rent rather than buy?
Simply put, choice, convenience, peace of mind and great service from people who genuinely care. Rental provides many benefits over buying. It’s like becoming a member of a special club with exclusive benefits.
Household goods are expensive, costly to repair and technology is always changing so you end up being stuck with your purchase long after the latest model has been launched. Renting gives you access to a wide range of products quickly and affordably without having to dip into your savings for these high-ticket items or worse, sign up for expensive, long-term credit agreements with crazy APRs, nasty fees and penalties. We’re committed to being transparent about our pricing, so you’ll always know the costs upfront. With a single weekly payment, keeping track of things and managing the household budget is always easy.
Renting from us is fast and stress-free – simply choose the product you’d like, apply through our website and let us deliver it to you at a time that suits you best. Delivery can be as soon as the next day for most of our products.
Renting allows you to get the latest products at an affordable price with the option to upgrade to the latest technology and designs meaning you’re never stuck with old technology. We also understand that life can be unpredictable so if your circumstances change and you need to cut back on your weekly outgoings, we’ll help you do that too.
It’s a fact of life that household products breakdown and repair costs and extended warranties are very expensive. With Crawfords Rentals there are no expensive repair or service bills. If your product breaks down you can book a service call 24/7, we’ll call out to your home, repair the product and even leave you a loan item if we have to take it away. Give expensive repair bills the boot, our hassle-free service gives you total peace of mind.

Do you deliver to my postcode?
We currently serve the majority of postcodes in Somerset, Bristol (plus surrounding areas), and the South West. Crawfords Appliances are planning on opening up new areas regularly. We’ll keep you informed about when we will be in a position to serve your area if you contact us.
How much does delivery and installation cost?
Delivery and installation is absolutely free on all our RENTAL products, provided you live in one of the designated postcodes mentioned in the delivery page, please note we charge for installation on appliances purchased, charges can be found in the installation section below.
Some of our competitors offer free delivery but add an administration charge which is hidden in the small print, which we think is sneaky. We will always be upfront about additional charges.
Do I have to be at home to sign for the delivery?
Yes, you do. As the appliance renter, we will need to complete the installation and demonstration with you and have you sign the driver’s delivery paperwork. This is to confirm receipt of the goods and ensure that you are completely happy with the installation service and how your installation was conducted.
What happens if the product I've ordered doesn't fit?
Before you select your new appliance, we want to help you make sure that you have the correct measurements of the spaces in the rooms around your home.
All of the product dimensions can be found in the further information section for each product on our website. When ordering your chosen item, we would kindly ask that you check the dimensions of the product and compare these with the access to your property and door openings.
In addition to the product dimensions, it would also be helpful for you to measure the space in the area around where you plan to position your new product. So for example, appliance doors can open wide enough for you to use your new item.
