From Laura K. Lawless, your Guide to French Language

To Return in French
The English verb "to return" has seven (7!) French translations: retourner, revenir, rentrer, rendre, rembourser, rapporter, and renvoyer. This is because the English verb "to return" is very general and can mean different things, whereas the French equivalents are much more precise. In order to use the correct one, you need to figure out exactly what you want to say.
