Redbox Review

Overview

Redbox kiosks can be found at over 28,000 locations through the US and 68% of the population lives within five minutes’ drive of a Redbox kiosk. Redbox kiosks are automated rental stores where people can use a screen to search for movies that are available in the area and order a movie for collection later at a chosen Redbox kiosk. Redbox kiosks are the place to go for renting movies or video games.

Anyone looking to rent the latest movie releases or the best family video games can go to the nearest Redbox kiosk and put in the order or collect the movie. Information about the latest releases can be found by texting NEW to 727272 or by visiting the Redbox.com website. The fully automated rental stores are accessed by a touch screen that allows customers to enter their order and arrange where to collect an order later.
