When you select a title on the service it will give you the option to rent or buy. Once you’ve selected the rental option you’ll be asked to pick the video quality of your stream.
Vudu.com/start supports up to 4K Ultra HD video (if your internet is fast enough to handle it). Video content comes in standard definition (SD), high definition (HDX), and 4K Ultra HD (UHD).
For new releases, Ultra HD releases can sometimes cost more than standard HD. Usually the difference isn’t more than a few dollars, but you should take note.
After paying for a rental you have 30 days to watch it before your rental expires. Once you start watching, users have 24 hours to finish the title before it gets deleted.
How much do rentals cost on Vudu?
Movie rentals for catalog titles on Vudu.com/start typically cost between $0.99 and $5.99. The cost of your rental usually depends most on your video quality. However, you’ll regularly be able to find UHD video for rent at the same cost as SD and HD titles.
Occasionally, new releases and UHD content are more expensive. This is particularly true for movies that are still in the theater. During the pandemic more titles than ever are making their debut via streaming early access.
Early access titles can cost up to $19.99 to rent, which isn’t absurd when you consider the cost of a movie ticket.
