How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Rent The Runway below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free CallHelpdesk Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
CallHelpdesk researchers routinely call this Rent The Runway phone number to document the phone system.

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 991 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Call when they- and you- are open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, you can also schedule the call with Rent The Runway at a time when they are open and when it works for you. We will confirm you are ready before placing the call, just in case. 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 Wednesday, which averages 426% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 991 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The best time to call Rent The Runway
In summation, the best day to call Rent The Runway is Friday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Rent The Runway staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
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.
