YouTube movie rental and purchase rates vary from $2.99 to $19.99. Rental rates are for a 24 or 48-hour period once you hit play—depending on the film, you may have up to a 30-day window to start the play process. The YouTube movie rental service should not be confused with YouTube TV, which is a paid subscription streaming service that provides access to a package of several TV and movie streaming channels for a flat monthly fee.
