HT1657 Do you need internet to watch a rental?

If i download a rented movie off itunes onto my ipad, could i then watch it when not connected to internet? I'm going away and want one to watch on the coach.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

  • HT1657 Do I need Internet to watch a rented movie?

    Do I need Internet to watch a rented movie?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
