Value Rating: Includes prices at all DVD rental levels and our assessment of what you actually get for your money.
Design Rating: Includes how well the website interface is designed and easy to use; there are some really aggravating online DVD rental sites out there.
Service Rating: This measure of customer service--which includes DVD turnaround times--is the least "scientific" rating, relying mainly on reports we've gathered from the net.
Titles: Number of unique titles for rent, though companies will have many copies of each hot new release.
Phone Support: Currently all Irish companies have customer service phone support, which is excellent, as internationally, many DVD rental companies do not; important as it can be very frustrating and slow trying to use email.
Free Trial: These are usually a standard two weeks. Read the Terms on each DVD rental company's site if you're pursuing a free trial, as many have strict requirements for cancellation.
Prices: In euros per month for standard, unlimited 1 to 4 disc at-a-time DVD rental subscriptions. This does not include volume discounts sometimes offered for paying a year in advance.
