How To Rent a Movie on Plex
Head to Plex’s movie library on your Smart TV, phone, tablet, or computer, choose your selection, and follow the steps to rent.
Once you have rented a movie, you can play it on any supported Plex player app, and it will automatically appear in Continue Watching on your app home screen. If your smart TV or device is not supported, use the Plex app on your phone, tablet, or computer, and once you rent the movie, you can watch it anywhere you’ve installed Plex - even on devices that don’t allow direct rentals on their platform.
Rental prices start at $4.99, and new movies are added to the library daily. You can also add a selection to your Plex Watchlist on Plex for when you’re ready to watch it or when it becomes available (here or anywhere in the streaming universe).
