There was a time, within the not so distant past, when a trip out to the local video store with the family was a weekly or monthly treat. If you were fortunate enough to have a larger video rental store that had multiple copies of new releases and thousands of DVDs on hand, there was a great chance you could find movies to suit everybody. But a few things have happened since those times which have rendered video rental stores all but obsolete.

First of all, big box outlets such as Blockbuster are already driven out of the bricks and mortar video rental business to seek salvation online. For most of us, our video stores are nothing more than corner convenience stores with a few hundred movies on hand anytime. Space will be at a premium for these guys so they can only afford to have a few copies of new releases along with a smattering of older movie rental titles on hand at any time. It's really a bit frustrating to drive out only to seek out the film you had your heart set on is always out.

Additionally, next day returns as well as the inconvenience that it implies, usually finds us racking up late fees that often would have worked-out cheaper for us if we would bought the DVD instead. And what if you are heading out on a road trip or to the cottage for a weekend - 24 hour rental periods just do not cut it for a lot of us. And what about the actual rental fee? $3 or more per movie rental? Everyone with a cable or satellite subscription has access to pay-per-view movie rentals, and the concept will be quite sound. The downside is the fact that typical pay-per-view rentals cost $5 or even more. I am not sure the convenience will be worth that far more.

Maybe it's time you rent movies online!

Why? Well, rather than run on about online movie rental and why it's the right option for you, allow me to state my case with the following list of 10 Reasons It's Time That you should Rent Movies Online!

Selection. If you rent movies online from instant movie streaming or DVD by mail providers, you will generally get access to anywhere from a number of thousand up to 80,000+ movie and television titles to choose from. Your local video store probably can not hold a match to that kind of selection.

Availability. In most but a few rare exceptions, the film you want is definitely available. Most DVD by mail services have hundreds of copies of individual movie titles on hand. Instant movie streaming services like Netflix have no limitation on how many subscribers watch individual movie titles. If you rent movies online, your favorites are more often than not available.

Savings. Whenever you rent movies online from DVD by mail services, they typically have subscription plans that allow several DVD rentals, some even unlimited, every month for monthly fees as little as $5.95. Even when you only rent movies online only 2 times a month, you are already ahead. With instant video streaming services, typical plans run from about $8+ per 30 days or, if you go for a per rental provider for example iTunes or YouTube, you will typically pay $0.99 - $3.99 per online movie rental. Even though the latter could be close in price to what you are currently paying at the local video store, you will need to aspect in both points 1 and 2 (Selection, Availability) and, more importantly, point 4 which is "Convenience".

Convenience. Your local video outlet or convenience store will never be as easy for you as when you rent movies online. Bottom line - shopping for an online movie rental through your computer, tablet or TV means you never have to leave the home for movie night again. And online movie rental providers are open 24/7 that means, you may rent movies online anytime you want, day or night, from just about anywhere. Instant video streaming services enable you to choose a film and start watching right away. DVD by mail services will deliver movies to your mailbox, for free, within 1 - 3 days.

No late fees - ever! This is a big one for me and possibly for you as well. Whenever you rent movies online from instant video streaming services you generally have up to 30-days to start watching your movie and 24 to 48 hours to watch it as often as you like. From then on period has elapsed, the rental is automatically deleted from your rental library. If you rent movies from an unlimited subscription provider such as Netflix then there's absolutely no limitation on the number of times you watch a movie and you never have to remember to return it. On the DVD by mail side, they don't have due dates or late fees. Instead, they usually put a cap on how many DVD movies you may rent at one time. You may hold on to them for days, weeks or months and send them back when you are performed. This is especially handy when renting children's movies as, all of us know, they could watch the same movie several times a day for days on end.

Browsing. The local video store shall normally have a wall or section devoted to new releases. The rest of their catalog will either be organized alphabetically or by genre or not at all. Browsing for movie titles may take hours in case you are undecided. Whenever you rent movies online, all providers offer easy to use sites that enable you to look for movies alphabetically, by genre, by year, by director, by actor, by rating and more. Picking a film to watch online is a cinch.

TV Shows and special genres. I know this kind of falls under "Selection" but the fact is, most smaller video stores just do not stock Seasons of your favorite TV shows. And they generally don't carry much in the way of Foreign language films, Documentaries or more obscure movies.

Interactive features. One nice thing about online movie rentals when browsing your provider's website is the ability to watch trailers, read viewer reviews and lots of offer a suggestion feature that may give you similar titles that you can check out.

Flexibility. Whenever you rent movies online for download or to watch instantly, you've got a number of options as far as devices go. You may watch on Internet enabled TVs, BluRay players, gaming consoles such as Wii - Xbox - PS3, PC, Mac, tablets and other handheld devices. Granted, not all services allow you to stream on all of these devices, but you definitely aren't limited to just watching on your TV.

Options. Most small towns or neighborhoods may only have a number of video rental stores that you can choose from and most with more or less the same selection and pricing. When you rent movies online, you've got more options available. You are free new movie; mouse click the up coming document, to choose a DVD by mail or instant movie streaming provider and should you not like their selection or service you can try out a host of other providers. None of them have long-term contracts to bind you to their service.
