How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Washer and Dryer Per Month?

What is the average monthly cost to rent a washer and dryer?

Prices vary by provider, appliance type, condition, contract length, and included services. Some companies rent refurbished equipment; others offer newer machines with additional features. This guide gives My Appliance Rental's current pricing, not a claimed industry-wide average.

A low advertised payment is not necessarily the lowest total cost. Ask whether delivery, installation, maintenance, and covered repairs are included, and compare the minimum contractual commitment rather than a monthly rate alone.

The $70 set rate covers use of both machines and standard service for covered failures. The $60 delivery/setup fee is collected at delivery. Submitting a request does not collect payment or offer a one-month rental. Review your agreement before signing.

How much does washer and dryer rental cost over time?

*The one-month figure shows the first month's cost, not a one-month rental option. The standard contract requires 6 months. These figures assume an unchanged monthly rate, one delivery/setup fee, and no additional charges. Utilities and other applicable agreement charges are excluded.

What does the first year really cost?

Suppose you start in January and keep the set for a full year. Separate the recurring rental payment from the one-time setup fee to understand your budget.

• First-month total: $130, including one delivery/setup fee.
• Remaining 11 monthly rental payments: $770.
• First-year total: $900.
• Average monthly cost over year one, including setup: $75.
• Another 12 months at the same rate, without another delivery charge: $840.

For an individual washer or dryer, the monthly rate is $50 and the first-year total is $660 with one standard delivery fee, assuming no other charges.

Why do rental companies charge delivery fees?

Delivery involves loading and securing the appliances, transporting and unloading them, moving them into the laundry area, and connecting them to suitable existing hookups. The team also checks that the machines can operate safely.

The standard delivery/setup fee is $60. Stairs, narrow hallways, parking restrictions, or hookup concerns can affect the work. Disclose access and installation conditions before scheduling so the team can discuss any requirements in advance. Do not assume a specific extra charge unless it has been confirmed.

Are repairs included in the monthly price?

Standard repairs and replacement when necessary for normal wear and mechanical failures are included in the $70 set rental. Covered standard service does not carry an additional service-call fee. Damage caused by misuse, neglect, or abuse is excluded.

For example, a washer that stops spinning might have a lid-lock, drive motor, belt, or actuator problem. A dryer that stops heating can also have a mechanical or electrical fault. These examples are not diagnoses: report the issue so the team can assess the failure and coverage under your agreement.

Why included repairs can make budgeting easier

Imagine buying a used set for $500 and later paying a hypothetical $225 dryer repair bill. The equipment and repair expense becomes $725, before delivery. These are illustrative figures, not a repair quote or a prediction that your machine will fail.

Under a rental with covered standard mechanical repairs, a covered failure would not create that separate standard repair bill. This does not automatically make renting cheaper over several years; it makes covered repair expenses more predictable. Rush service and excluded damage remain separate considerations.

Is renting cheaper than going to the laundromat?

A household spending $30 each week pays $1560 annually, compared with $900 for the first year of a set rental with one delivery. The difference is $660 before home electricity, water, detergent differences, transportation, and any other applicable costs.

Renting may cost less for frequent laundromat users, but it is not guaranteed to save money. Someone washing only a few loads per month may spend less at a laundromat. Use your actual spending and expected home utility costs.

Do not forget the value of your time

Two hours at the laundromat each week adds up to 104 hours over 52 weeks. Your own time may include driving, waiting for machines, transferring clothes, and folding. This is an example, not a promised time saving.

Machines at home let you do other things while laundry runs, wash uniforms in the evening, or clean bedding when convenient. The convenience can matter even when renting is not the cheapest long-term option.

Is renting cheaper than buying?

Renting usually requires less cash upfront, while buying dependable appliances can cost less over a long period. Here is a simple comparison against a hypothetical new set.

*The $1200 purchase example excludes delivery, installation, repairs, financing, and resale value. Rental spending first exceeds this equipment-only price in month 17. This is a simple cash-cost crossover, not a complete break-even calculation.

My Appliance Rental also advertises used sets for $485 delivered and installed, or $330 for pickup, with a 3-month warranty. Prices vary by model and condition; confirm inventory and terms. Compare this actual purchase option too, not just the illustrative new-set price.

If you expect to keep machines for five or ten years and can afford the purchase, ownership may be economical. If preserving cash and having covered standard repairs are more important, renting may be more practical. Neither option wins for every household.

What other rental charges should you understand?

An additional charge is not necessarily a hidden charge. Ask for the full written terms before agreeing, including late payments, damage responsibilities, relocation, cancellation, and any special installation or pickup requirements. Do not assume a listed possibility applies to every rental.

• Ending before the 6-month minimum: $85 early-termination fee.
• After the minimum: 30 days' written cancellation notice.
• Rush/emergency repair service: $65.
• Relocation fee: $75 under the applicable terms.
• Missed or inadequately prepared confirmed delivery: $75 under the applicable terms.
• Misuse, neglect, and abuse are not covered as normal mechanical repairs.

Review the terms of service and your signed agreement for what applies to your situation. No new pickup fee, stair fee, or late-fee amount is being quoted by this article.

Can you rent month-to-month?

Yes, after the initial 6-month commitment. The rental then continues month-to-month with 30 days' written notice to end. Ending before the minimum carries the $85 early-termination fee.

For example, a nine-month apartment lease may make renting convenient because the machines remain the rental company's property and can be returned under the agreement. If you need appliances for only two months, a six-month minimum may not be economical. Compare the contractual commitment with your expected stay.

What should you look for in a rental company?

• Transparent pricing: monthly rate, setup, and other applicable charges explained before signing.
• Repair and replacement coverage: what is covered, exclusions, and standard versus urgent service.
• Rental terms: minimum period, cancellation notice, and moving responsibilities.
• Appliance condition: ask whether machines are inspected and tested before delivery.
• Local coverage: confirm your address and how repair requests are handled.
