Rent movies from the iTunes Store on PC

You can rent and play movies from the iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If you have an Apple TV, you can use it to rent items and play them on your home theater system.

You can also download a rented movie directly to any authorized computer or device, including movies you’ve already started watching, as long as the rental hasn’t expired.

Rent items from the iTunes Store using your computer

  1. In the iTunes app on your PC, click Store in the navigation bar.

    The Store button in the navigation bar.
  2. Search for a movie you want to rent, then select it.

  3. Click the Rent button (if you don’t see this button, the item isn’t available for rent).

    The Rent button.

The movie is downloaded to your iTunes library. A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 48 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically.

Transfer rentals from your iTunes library to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV

In addition to downloading rented movies from the iTunes Store directly to a device, you can also transfer them from your computer to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, if your device can play the rented item. This is useful if you want to watch a movie on a device but aren’t connected to the internet.

If you have iPhone 3GS (or earlier) or iPod touch (third generation or earlier), you can also transfer rentals from your device to your computer.

  1. Connect your device to your computer.

  2. In the iTunes app on your PC, click the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window.

    The Device button selected near the top of the iTunes window.
  3. Click Movies.

    The Device window, with Movies selected in the sidebar on the left.
  4. Select the rented item, then click Move.

Note: Some movies in the iTunes Store are available for rent in HD-quality format. You can only transfer HD rentals to iOS or iPadOS devices that can display HD content.

For information about renting movies using your device, see the documentation for the device.

Note: These terms apply to U.S. rentals. Rental terms vary among countries or regions.
