Your guide to online Games Rental

At DVDRentalCompare.com you'll find out all you need to know about the leading online game rental providers. We've reviewed each one in depth and provide you with full details of their offers, services and plans. We recommend that you find out more about each company in the providers section of our site.

In addition, we frequently offer exclusive discounts with the major providers such as money back gift vouchers and extended free trails. See our latest exclusive offers.

How does online game rental work?

Sign up to a games rental service online and make a list of the games you want to rent. The games will then be sent to you in the post. When you've finished with them just return them in the pre-paid envelope. You can keep them as long as you like and there are no late fees. When your disc is received back your next game will be delivered. You'll get between 1 and 3 games sent at once depending on which plan you pick.

How do I compare online game rental plans?

To compare plans for all the providers use the table directly above. It compares the price per month for the most common / popular type of game rental plans that all providers have. You can also check that providers support the consoles you own by looking at our Supported Consoles table.

What are the benifits of online games rental?

It's much cheaper to rent games online than either renting through a video shop or buying them new. In fact, it's the cheapest way to play the latest games. The games are sent straight to your door and you can keep them for as long as you like with no late fees ever. Plus, large providers like LOVEFiLM have so many titles in stock you'll nearly always be able to play what you want.

Will I have to pay if I take a free trial?

Most online games rental services offer an introductory free trial period. Usually between two weeks to a month. You'll have to give your bank or card details to sign up but provided you cancel and send the games back before the end of the free trial you won't be charged a penny.

Can I stop the service anytime I like

Yes, there are no contracts with any of the online games rental services on offer so you're under no obligation. Once you cancel your payments will stop once all the discs have been returned. With LOVEFiLM you can even pause payment for the service if you go on holiday.

Which is the best service if you want to rent games and films?

LOVEFiLM and Tesco are the only big online DVD rental services to offer games as well as films, although WhyBuyGames also offer Blu-Ray.

Can I buy and sell games?

Games Frenzy, swapgame and WhyBuyGames all offer the option to buy and sell new and pre-owned games. In addition, both Games Frenzy and WhyBuyGames offer a loyalty scheme that provides loyal customers with fake currency that can be used to purchase games from the providers online store.

Supported Consoles

Not all providers support games for every console, so its worth double checking before choosing.
