Can I order for a future event?

On Hirestreet you can only book in-stock styles, but you get to keep them for the next 35 days (5 day delivery time and a 30 day rental period).

If your event is happening within the next month or so, place your order today. If your event is in a few months time, add your favourite styles to Saved Items. Come back the month before the event to place your rental order.

Can I rent just one item?

We aim to provide you with the best rental experience possible. We offer 2 items for the price of 1 (our 2 item Hire Box). This is so you can have a back-up dress if you are worried about size and fit, or an item to complete your outfit but you can also hire 1 outfit for just £20 for 14 days.

What if it doesn't fit?

In our 2 Item Hire Box we give you 2 items for the price of 1, this means you should always have a back-up dress in case 1 doesn't fit

We don’t offer refunds or exchanges so we recommend reading reviews and size guides to select the items in your Hire Box

Do you offer refunds or exchanges?

No we don't. In our 2 Item Hire Box we give you 2 dresses for the price of 1 to make sure you have something that fits for your event

If you are unsure about your size, we recommend reading reviews and checking the size charts.

What happens if I damage something?

We get it—accidents can happen. If you want added peace of mind, consider adding our optional Accidental Damage Cover at checkout. Relax knowing any little mishaps are covered.

Please note, though, that Accidental Damage Cover doesn't protect against loss, theft, or irreparable damage.

How do I send my items back?

Please use the mailing bag your items arrived in to return your rentals. If you no longer have it, please use a suitable alternative.

Inside your order, you'll find a pre-paid returns label. Stick this label to your mailing bag, covering the old one.

Return your order at the Post Office before the end of your rental period. Please keep the proof of postage.

Rental FAQs

I'm new to renting - how does it work?

We love that you are thinking about making your first rental order.

Firstly, decide whether you want to rent 1, 2 or 5 items. With Hire Box options you have your rentals for either 14, 21 or 30 days.

Most people rent 2 items for an event, but 5 if they are going on holiday or have several events in one month.

We recommend hiring outfits early if they are in stock, as popular items get booked out very fast - and even if your event is in a weeks' time, it just gives you plenty of time to try on and style!

With your 2 item Hire Box, we are giving you a complimentary back-up dress. You can get any two items on the site for the price of 1 (£30). If they arrive and you love both, then you are more than welcome to wear both over the course of the next 21 days.

With a 5 item Hire Box, you simply get more outfits for your monies.

For the best site experience, we recommend adding your favourite styles to your saved items, from there you can easily add them to your Hire Box and keep an eye on when they are back in stock.

Once you have filled your Hire Box you are ready to check out.

We hope you love your first rental!

Do I need to keep outfits for the full rental period?

We offer 14, 21 and 30 day rentals now to reflect what our customers need for their events or rotating wardrobe

We understand that if you have an event, you may not need your items for the full 14-30 days, but customer feedback told us that you loved having the extra time with your outfits (to have the comfort that they fit and to have extra time to style)

P.S. Two Item Hire Box 21 day rentals are no more expensive than your 4 day rentals used to be, so you are basically getting 16 days for free!

Can I cancel my order?

Orders are typically dispatched the day they are made, so if you wish to cancel your order please get in touch straight away. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to cancel your order if it has already been processed and packed.

Can I amend my order?

Orders are typically dispatched the day they are made, so if you wish to amend your order please get in touch straight away. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to amend your order if it has already been processed and packed.

My outfit arrived with tags on - can I remove them?

Yes, please feel free to remove any tags or ribbons attached to your outfits when they are delivered.

What is Accidental Damage Cover?

At checkout you have an option to add Accidental Damage Cover to your rental outfits.

Accidental Damage Cover costs £5 for the 2 Item Hire Box and £8 for the 5 Item Hire Box.

This covers any repairable damage that happens during your rental period. If your rental is damaged during your rental period and can be fixed by our team when it's returned - your accidental damage cover will cover the cost of this fix. 

Please note, accidental damage cover does not provide cover against loss, theft or damage beyond repair. If your item is returned in an irreparable state, we will be required to charge a replacement fee.

We strongly advise against using body tape and safety pins to alter garments, as this can often lead to irreparable damage.
