What to Look for in a Video Rental Service

An online video rental service should offer a broad feature set and a large movie selection, easy to use search tools, quick arrival times and a variety of membership plans. Here are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate DVD rental services:

• Feature Set – Online video rental services should go beyond the average DVD rental experience; DVD rental services should offer free, two–way shipping, should not charge late fees and should offer a free, trial membership. DVD rental services should also make movie previews and critical reviews available and should allow you to cancel your membership at any time.
• Movie Selection – A DVD rental service should offer a wide variety of movie genres (like Classics, Comedy, Foreign Films, Special Interest and so on) with a large number of titles within each genre.
• Search Capabilities – We look for DVD rental services that make searching for a movie easy by offering several search methods, such as title, actor and director searches. The DVD rental service should also include a simple way to sort movies by genre and then by MPAA film rating, by year released or by member ranking.
• Movie Arrival Time – Convenience is a major factor in the decision to use an online video rental service, so the length of time it takes to receive a movie is extremely important to customers. DVD rental services should have multiple distribution centers throughout the United States to keep arrival times short. Shipping times longer than two or three days is just too long.
• Movie Information – Many online DVD rental websites announce new releases on their main movie page as well as a list of movies coming soon. A user–friendly website will provide information about each movie such as the synopsis, rating, actors, director and the studio that produced the movie. In addition, a good rental website will also provide movie trailers to help you decide what to rent.
