OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — Redbox, operator of fully automated DVD rental kiosks, announced it is adding an online reservation functionality.
Beginning Sept. 25, consumers can visit the Redbox Web site to confirm their chosen movies will be in stock. Once payment is confirmed, the selected DVDs are guaranteed to be available at chosen locations. Leveraging real-time inventory data, the site will provide an alternative location if the selected kiosk does not have the title in stock.
Customers can keep the DVDs for as long as they'd like for only $1 per night plus tax, and return their DVDs to any Redbox kiosk nationwide.
