The Rise of Online DVD Rental
In March 2006 I launched the UK DVD Rental Guide Website. The website is devoted to providing independent advice, reviews and rankings of the major providers of online DVD rental service in the UK. The idea for the website originated from my passion for DVD’s and from the difficulty of choosing the right online DVD rental service.
Online DVD rental is slowly but surely making its mark on the entertainment industry and is a powerful rival for its traditional highstreet alternative. The phenomenon of online DVD rental may ultimately replace the traditional form of DVD rental!
Since its launch, the website has evolved to where it is today. It sets out each of the major providers of online DVD Rental services, the prices, the package options, the number of titles available and any free trial that is offered. Each service provider is rated against predifined criteria and then ranked against each other. We continually check for changes in the services and re-rate and re-rank accordingly.
Here’s why we think online DVD Rental is Better:
• Cheaper. The prices for online rental are much cheaper than the highstreet alternative.
• Convenient. No need to go out to the store. Just browse and select titles online from the comfort of your own home and they appear in the post. Postage is FREE both ways.
• No Due Dates. There are no dates by which you have to return the DVD’s. Keep them as long as you like!
• No late return charges. Watch your DVD’s without fear of a charge for late return. There’s no late return charges - EVER!
• More to choose from. With upto 57,000 titles there’s more DVD’s to choose from than you can shake a stick at.
• Completely Risk Free Trial. Most of the DVD rental companies let you try before you sign-up. It costs absolutely nothing and there are no hidden charges.
We hope you enjoy the UK DVD Rental Guide and it helps you choose the best service for your needs. We will keep testing and will make sure the guide is comprehensive, up to date and continues to ensure it provides independent advice.
How DVD Rental Works
With the convenience of the internet, vast DVD title range and low prices, online DVD rental is becoming a popular choice for renting DVD’s. With the ever increasing penetration of the internet and consumer spending over the internet following close behind, it doesn’t take a lot to imagine that Online DVD Rental may well overtake the traditional high street alternative.
There are a number of big brands in the Online DVD rental market, and this article explains how online DVD rental works. Despite the number of companies providing these services, they all follow a similar four step process:
• Sign-up & Select. First of all, simply select your favourite DVD rental service provider from the ones we have reviewed for you here. After clicking on your favourite, decide on the DVD rental price package that suites you best. You’ll then be asked to complete an online registration process and select the DVD titles that you would like to watch at home. Its normally recommended that you maintain a list of titles and prioritise on the order in which you would like to receive them. You’ll never be short of titles to watch with between 34,000 and 58,000 to choose from! You wont be tied into a long term contract and you can switch between the various price packages available. You will normally be offered a FREE trial, so you have no risk to find out how it works before you finally make you mind up or spend any money!
• Receive DVD’s through the Post. Depending on the DVD rental service provider you choose, you should receive your DVD’s with a day or two via first class postage
.
• Watch & Enjoy your DVD. Once you receive your DVD(s), you can take your time and watch them at a time and day that suits you best. There’s normally no penalties or restrictions for how long you keep your DVD at home. Remember though, the longer you keep them, the longer it will be before you get your next one(s).
• Post your DVD back & receive the next one(s). Once you have watched you DVD(s) simply put them in the prepaid envelope provided and pop it in the post. Once your DVD rental service provider receives the DVD(s), they will select the next one(s) from your list and post it to you.
