There are many companies now days that offer DVD movie rental services. DVD movie rental services vary by company, as do the terms of services, payment schedules, special offers and any other available options. The best way to determine which company is right for you is to compare rental services side-by-side.

First off, you will need to decide which DVD movie rental service best fits your lifestyle. If you don't intend to watch too many movies each month, but like the convenience of a home rental service, a pay per movie service may be best for you. With this option the DVD movie rental company only charges you per movie rented. If you live in a rural community or don't have the variety you want in your local video store, the pay per movie service will suit you well. One word of warning is that if you do plan to watch many DVDs each month, this service can get expensive.

The second of the DVD movie rental options is to sign up for a subscription service. These are commonly known as "memberships" and the terms and options vary depending on the company; however, most DVD movie rental companies do offer a choice of subscription levels.

Most popular is the monthly fee option. The movie rental business allows you to rent a set number of DVDs each month or sets a maximum allowed number of DVDs out at one time. Further up the chain of DVD movie rental subscriptions you are allowed to have more DVDs out at one time each month, commonly this number runs between 4 - 6.

Once you've determined the average number of DVDs you'll watch in a given month, you can decide whether a pay per movie or a subscription option is best for your movie rental needs.

After you've decided about how many DVDs you'll want access to at a given time, you will want to consider how wide of a selection the rental company offers. Even if a DVD company has a vast array of options, you will need to look at how many copies they have of each movie. If there are only a few copies of a particular movie available, you could find out what happens first from everyone around you who has already seen it.

Just as important in a DVD rental service is how fast their turnaround time is. If it takes the company a week or two to send off the next movie you want, you may never see all the movies that you are paying for each month. Look for a company that sends your next movie within one business day. A good way to help speed the process is to make sure that you put your movies back in the mail as soon as you have watched them.

If you are an avid video game fan, a rental service that offers video games may be something to think about.

Some companies, such as Blockbuster, offer both in-store and online rental services. If you think that you still want the option to frequent your local video store, a movie rental service that offers both might interest you. As an added incentive Blockbuster is known to give one free in-store movie rental weekly if you are an active member.

The last big point to consider is what policies does the rental company hold for damaged or lost items? It happens that a DVD gets lost or are received damaged and you are not going to want the responsibility of paying for the lost of damaged goods.

Summary:

Before signing up with a DVD movie rental company, it's best to weigh the options that each offers. Payment options and membership services vary from company to company. Keeping a few tips in mind while comparing companies will help you find the company that fits best with you and offers the best deal.
