Returning Your Rental Movie

2. Point the arrow towards the slot at the right of the machine

3. Insert the disc into the slot to complete your return

4. Choose to receive a return receipt when prompted

Always ensure that you have an email sent as a receipt for your Redbox rental and return. The DVDs may get stuck to the machine. If you do not have a receipt, you will be charged for not returning it. You should also keep track of the plastic cases that hold the discs. You may need to pay a fee to replace them.

You should try to return your rental by 9:00 PM on the next day. It is the deadline for your Redbox rentals. If you missed the deadline, your video game or movie will be automatically rented for the next day.

Redbox allows you to rent your movie or video game for as long as you need it. However, renting for long periods results in higher charges. If you reach the maximum rental period, you will be charged the maximum rental amount and you can keep the disc.

When you rent, do not remove the bar code from the center of the disc. It is important when returning. You can't return a disc if it cannot be read.

You do not have to return your movie to the Redbox where you got it.

Redbox has a rent-and-return-anywhere policy that allows you to return your movie or video game to any Redbox in the country. On your mobile device, you may use the Redbox GPA locate you can find the Redbox that is closest to your location.

If you need help with your Redbox rentals or returns, you may seek help from the customer support team. One of the best ways to contact Redbox for support is on the phone. Be polite and patient even if you feel frustrated. The customer support agents are helpful and you can contact them with any of your issues. You may have to call several times before getting the help you need.

Live chat is another good option to seek support if phone support is not a good option. It also gives you the opportunity to speak with a customer care agent.

If you don't need to speak directly with an agent, you may seek support through email. Send an email with all the important details of your concern and the type of help you would like to receive.
