Long Term Car Rentals


Timeframes for long term car rentals can vary by company. A long term rental is usually one that is 4 weeks or more. Some car rental companies have a shorter minimum time to qualify for a long term rate; some require a longer minimum rental to get a monthly car rental rate.

Although longer rentals are not the norm, there are some situations where it makes sense. You may have been relocated with your job or are on an extended vacation or a lengthy trip. Long term car rentals can be available to meet those specific needs.

I checked with 8 of the largest car rental company’s websites and have listed below the availability (or not) and information about monthly car rental for each.



Alamo Car Rentals


According to their website, Alamo offers monthly car rental rates for rentals of a minimum of two months to a maximum of 11 months.

They offer one time processing: you fill out the paperwork at the beginning of the rental, and then the charges are billed automatically each month (you don't have to go back in to renew).


Avis Car Rentals

Monthly car rental is available for online booking and you do not have to return the vehicle at the end of each month to renew your contract. All rental agreements (one for each month) are filled out at the beginning of the rental and the charges are automatically billed each month.

Avis does have a note that on a monthly car rental, the vehicle must be serviced every 75,000 miles.
