Perfect for special occasions, event rentals allow you to reserve items in advance for specific dates. We offer 4 or 8 day rental periods.
If one or all of the styles in your order doesn’t fit, you can get a replacement for $12.95 (shipping plus tax) within the first 48 hours of your rental period. After that time, we are unable to provide a replacement. Select your replacement by following these steps:
1. Log into our app or website.
2. Click “Get a Replacement” in the top black banner.
3. Follow the prompts to choose new styles.
If we can’t send a replacement in time for your event, you’ll receive a credit on your Rent the Runway account for the cost of your order less shipping. To remain eligible for your credit, you must reach out to us within the first 48 hours of your rental period.

We don’t offer the option to extend the return date of your event rentals because they are likely reserved by another customer for future dates. Please drop your order off at a UPS location by 12 p.m. on the last day of your rental period.
We offer one free backup size with every event rental. Free backup sizes do not apply to each style in your order.
When you return something late, it means the next person who was planning on wearing that style no longer can.
Returns must be dropped off with the shipping carrier noted on your return label by 12pm on or before the return date specified in your order. You are liable for any late fees incurred, regardless of any third party involved with the return. Do not leave your returns with any third party (for example, your hotel, mailroom or friend).
If you lose your return label or packaging, you can return your items in any box or mailer, and you can generate a new return label by following the steps here.
Late fee(s) of up to $50 per day will be charged to your card on file for each order that is not returned on time.
If you have not returned a rental item within 7 days after the return date, your late return will be considered a non-return and Rent the Runway will charge your payment method on file the then current 'to buy' price + tax for each item minus previously paid late fees and sales tax.

Nope! Feel free to hang onto your original rental until you receive your replacement style(s).
However, you'll still need to drop off your original (unworn) rental at UPS by its original rental end date in order to avoid late fees.
