How renting appliances can help improve your finances
New to the idea of appliance rental? Let us fill you in. It’s a clever way to get your hands on top-quality white goods, at a price you can actually afford. We started hiya! because we think everyone should be able to do just that.
Whether it’s a washing machine and tumble dryer to help with laundry. Or a fridge freezer to stuff full of tasty food. If you find an item you like – we simply look at your recent history to check you can afford it today. (Instead of judging you on your credit score). In fact, when you rent appliances it can actually be good for your finances. Here’s why:
Why appliance rental is finance-friendly:
Affordable chunks
Buying appliances outright is always going to be expensive. They’re chunky items, packed with clever tech and features that come with a big, bad price tag. With weekly rental, the cost is broken down into smaller, more affordable chunks. Our pay weekly appliance rental starts as low at £6.99. That means you’re never going to be spending all your income on an appliance, leaving nothing left for everyday expenses. Overstretching means you’re more likely to need help from friends, credit cards or loans. Not with Hiya!
Easier budgeting
Not only are your weekly payments much more manageable, but they also make it easier to budget. We give you the lowest possible flat fee which means your payments are 100% predictable. When you know what you’re going to be spending each week, it’s a whole lot easier to split your funds elsewhere.
Absolutely no deposit
When you opt for finance, lots of big-ticket items, come with a hefty upfront cost. At Hiya!, we firmly don’t believe in deposits. All you pay is your agreed weekly rental sum. Plus you don’t hand over any money until everything is up and running. There’s no sneaky rises or hidden costs so your finances will thank you
Don’t worry about delivery
Buying an appliance is expensive enough. Having to factor in delivery just adds to it. Save money when you rent with Hiya! We’ll deliver it for free (and fast). You could be stocking up a new fridge-freezer in just 48 hours.
Instant installs
Having to pay a plumber, electrician or handy man to set up your new item is a hit to your bank balance. Luckily, once a member of the Hiya! team has popped your appliance down, they’ll install it for free. We’re experts in getting your white goods ready so you can start using them straight away.
Free repairs
Picture this. You’ve just shelled out the full cost for a brand-new washing machine. You chuck your mucky clothes in. Nothing happens. No lights flashing or happy water swishing sounds. What now? You’ll have to call in the costly repair man or worse, get a new one. But with Hiya, if you rent an appliance, we’ll cover the cost of any maintenance and servicing. We’ll keep your kit tip-top and won’t leave you out of pocket.
Effortless upgrades
Once you’ve reached the end of your contract with us, you have a few options. If you fancy an upgrade, we’ll give you a newer, better, shinier model for exactly the same price. This is just to say thanks for being a loyal Hiya! customer. Your weekly payments won’t move a muscle, but we’ll come to collect your old appliance and deliver you a snazzy new one.
Reduced rates
The second option once your contract ends, is sticking with your current appliance. Perhaps it’s served you and your family well, does the perfect job and still seems good as new. Instead of just letting you renew the contract, we’ll treat you to a huge discount (up to 80%) for staying devoted to your white goods. This means you’ll have more money spare in your weekly budget.
Tell your friends
Think someone you know would love Hiya!? If you refer them and they sign up, we’ll give you two weeks free. Tell one more person and you’ll get an entire month. There’s no limit to how many people and you’ll get money off each time. To secure the savings, give us their details and once we confirm their rental deal, we’ll add the discount to your account.
Say Hiya! to pay weekly white goods
If you think pay weekly appliances are for you – it’s time to apply. All you have to do is answer a few quick questions and fill in some details. Once you submit your form, we’ll review it and get back to you as soon as possible. Sometimes you’ll hear from us in a super-speedy 45 mins (but always within 24 hours).
