A Respectable Service Provider
XRentDVD is a solid company that has been in the video sales and rental business since 1998. You will note by visiting XRent DVD that this is more of a no-frills service provider. The web design, navigation and account control panels are very basic. They do not offer a free trial and their prices are higher than our top-ranked companies. Customer service is only available through telephone and email. Like all of the companies reviewed on this site, XRentDVD provides discreet billing and shipping. Shipping and turnaround times are "average" at best. Discerning consumers that do their homework and make detailed service comparisons are unlikely to chose this provider, simply do to the fact that other companies offer better service, features and value at a lower price.
What We Don't Like
The $14.99 two movies/month starter program is deceiving. XRentDVDs limits this package to a maximum of 5 DVDs per month, but all other upgraded Preferred packages are unlimited. Additionally, new DVD movie releases are NOT available for renting through any of their Preferred programs until 30 days after the movie's release. Ouch!
Two Great Differentiating Features
1. The company claims to have "over 41,000 different movie titles to choose from". This is a bit misleading because most of the online adult DVD rental websites that we review only rent straight porn. XRentDVD rents both gay and straight DVDs, thus their collective library is larger than most. We do know that that by volume, XRent DVDs is the industry's 3rd largest online adult DVD rental company and their large collection is their main competitive advantage.
2. XRentDVD offers a great 15% military discounts. In today's economic environment, this helps a lot. For military personnel, the discount helps to bring XRentDVD's pricing closing in line with the top-ranked companies.
Unless you are in the military, we would suggest that you go for a free trial with SugarDVD, URentDVDs or WantedList before committing to XRentDVD.
