In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Rent The Runway phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.
What are the hours and when should I call?
Rent The Runway operates the call center for this 800-509-0842 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-8pm, Sat 10am-4pm, Sun noon-9pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 776 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Rent The Runway call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Rent The Runway phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Rent The Runway staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Rent The Runway is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 439% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 776 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

The best time to call Rent The Runway
In summation, the best day to call Rent The Runway is Friday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.
