Rent films from the iTunes Store on PC
You can rent and play films 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 cinema system.
You can also download a rented film directly to any authorised computer or device, including films you’ve already started watching, as long as the rental hasn’t expired.
Rent items from the iTunes Store using your computer
In the iTunes app
on your PC, click Store in the navigation bar.
Search for a film you want to rent, then select it.
Click the Rent button (if you don’t see this button, the item isn’t available for rent).
The film 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.
Note: Prices shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual prices and currencies vary according to item and country or region.
Transfer rentals from your iTunes library to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Apple TV
In addition to downloading rented films 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 film 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.
Connect your device to your computer.
In the iTunes app
on your PC, click the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
Click Films.
Select the rented item, then click Move.
Note: Some films 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 films using your device, see the documentation for the device.
