Redbox Raises DVD Rental Fee 20 Percent!
Redbox announced Thursday that it will raise the price of its nightly rentals for DVDs to $1.20 from $1.00 per night. The change goes into effect at most locations on Halloween, Oct. 31, the company said in a statement that was e-mailed out to customers and posted on its web site. While only a 20 cent increase, it does represent a 20% increase in pricing! Oddly, daily rental charges for Blu-ray Discs and video games will not be changing! This is the first time in eight years Redbox has raised DVD rental prices and it was blamed on increased expenses.
Starting on Monday, October 31, the daily rental charge for DVDs will change to $1.20 a day. The price change is due to rising operating expenses, including new increases in debit card fees. Daily rental charges for Blu-ray Discs and video games won’t change. Additional-day charges for DVDs rented before 10/31 won’t be affected, either.
