影碟出租店是专门售卖或出租影碟的商店，有些会兼售电影的周边商品和播放机，有些附设座位供人于店内试看。

影碟一直有一群固定地消费族群支持，影碟店的投资成本低而收入相对稳定，大部分影碟店引进电脑管理，不需要高深技术，所以深受特别是年青及资金短少的创业者的喜爱，因此到处可见影碟店的开设，彼此之间竞争相当激烈。

近年来影碟店的加盟模式成长快速，除了老字号的加盟店外，新兴加盟体系纷纷打出免加盟金、投资金额低等多项优惠，在短时间抢占影碟店市场。现在加盟体系或新开店都是复合式经营，相当多有贩卖杂志、期刊、DVD播放机、小饰品、海报甚至零食等等。

A video rental shop/store is a physical business that rents home videos such as movies and prerecorded TV shows. Typically, a rental shop conducts business with customers under conditions and terms agreed upon in a rental agreement or contract, which may be implied, explicit, or written. Many video rental stores also sell previously-viewed movies and/or new, unopened movies. In the 1980s, video rental stores rented VHS and Beta tape copies of movies, although most stores dropped Beta tapes when VHS won the format war. In the 2000s, video rental stores began renting DVDs, which eventually displaced VHS. In the 2010s, video rental stores added high-definition Blu-ray disks to their offerings. Video rentals are also offered in other business such as drugstores or convenience stores.
