In a bid to provide more amenities for busy travelers, Raleigh-Durham International Airport has installed Redbox movie-rental machines in both terminals.
The idea is that departing passengers can pick up a DVD for the trip, and returning travelers can rent one before they head home. The cost is $1 per day.
Customers can return the DVDs at other Redbox kiosks, now found in many retailers across the Triangle. Redbox also has machines in airports served by RDU, including Boston, Baltimore and Nashville.
RDU's Redbox kiosks are located in Terminal 1 near gate A-24 and in Terminal 2 near gate C-7.

Or...you pick up a movie in

The only thing I don't like about RedBox is the fact that I didn't think of it first.
