Online DVD Rental - Important Things to Look Out For Before Signing Up

As a movie reviewer I watch a lot of movies and I don't want to be driving back and forth to the video rental store every day. So like many people I now rent my DVDs online. It's a lot more convenient and has worked out much cheaper than the old method of renting. It amazes me that people still drive to the video shop to rent their movies, it's such a hassle; the queuing and then returning it once you've finished and don't get me started on the late fees!

I've tried every online rental service there is and found that the most important things to look for are how many films they have in their catalogue and how quickly they can get them out to you! Another thing to look out for is how many DVDs you can actually have at any one time, because the more you can have and the timescale between receiving the next one on your list is a good measure of whether you're getting the best value for your money. After all when you sign up for unlimited rentals the last thing you want is for it to be throttled by the rental companies sluggish distribution network.

That single factor alone is why I have canceled many of my subscriptions in the past; it's annoying, unnecessary and in some cases blatantly deliberate. Saying that I'm sure a lot of folk are very happy with the companies that I've tried and discarded but that's only through their ignorance of the better services that are available out there.

The final two things to look out for and the most important are the free trials and contracts. Does the company give you a chance to try their service before you sign up and is there a hidden contract that ties you to them for a period of time. You should know the answer to these questions before you hand over your hard earned dosh.

Through trial and error I've found the top two value for money DVD rental companies in the UK, they both offer a no money upfront free trial and both are relatively quick at getting the movies out to you as well as having no contract so you can cancel at any time.
