The rental movie is available for 48h starting from the confirmation and can be watched on all our supported platforms. The rental movie is charged from the same payment method as your Viaplay subscription.

If you have received a voucher code for a rental movie, you’ll need to redeem it through a web browser. It is not possible to redeem a code in the application.
