movie rental
Temporary video loan
Movie rental is the temporary borrowing of a film for home viewing, typically for a fee.
The term evokes the video store era when customers would browse shelves and return tapes or discs within a few days: We picked up a movie rental for Saturday night.
Now it usually refers to digital rentals through streaming services, where access expires after a set period.
