A rental shop is a store where a consumer can borrow reusable products for a fee for a certain period of time before returning them.
Typically, a customer must sign up for an account with the shop and give billing information like a credit card number. If items are returned late, the shop usually charges late fees, which typically accumulate day by day. Some shops now have policies where instead of late fees, they will treat overdue items as a sale after a certain date, and charge a price equivalent to a standard sale of that object (with appropriate deductions for the rental fee already paid and for its pre-opened condition).
The most common type of rental shop are video rental outlets, offering primarily movies. Many such shops also offer music or computer games as well.
Many motion pictures that do not perform well in theaters depend on the rental market for success, and some movies are released direct-to-video.
Blockbuster Video is the largest and most popular video rental shop in the United States.
