Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

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.

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.

Hi, I'm going to Spain in a few weeks and wanted to rent some films to watch while I there, gonna take my ipad and use that to rent on. If I rent the films while in England can I watch them while in Spain? And do I need wifi or are the films downloaded to my ipad

The films are downloaded to the iPad's Videos app. As long as they have been fully downloaded to Videos before you go then you should be able to watch them whilst offline.

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:

Is an internet connection needed to start watching a rented movie?

I know that a rented movie can be watched on an iPod without having internet access. What about on a computer? If I want to watch a rented movie on an airplane, do I have to start watching it before the flight when I have an internet connection? Or can I simply start watching on the airplane, where there is no connection to the iTunes store?

Nope, you should be good to play it without an internet connection as long as your computer is properly authorized before hand, which it usually is. Hope that helps to answer your question. Enjoy the movie!
