Long Term Rentals
States Car Rentals offer long-term car rental, also known as a monthly car rental, which is an option for individuals or businesses that need a vehicle for an extended period, typically for a month or more. Long-term rentals are different from traditional short-term rentals, which are typically for a few days or weeks.
Here are some key points to consider when looking into long-term car rentals:
Duration:
Long-term car rentals are typically for one month or more, and the rental period
can often be extended further if needed.
Cost:
Long-term rentals are often more cost-effective on a daily basis compared to short-
term rentals. The longer the rental period, the lower the daily rate.
Lease vs. Rental:
Long-term rentals are different from leasing a car. With a rental, you have
more flexibility, as you're not locked into a long-term contract, and maintenance and insurance are
usually included.
Vehicle Selection:
Long-term rental providers offer a variety of vehicles, from economy cars
to SUVs and luxury cars. You can choose a vehicle that suits your needs and preferences.
Insurance:
Rental companies typically include insurance in the rental cost. Make sure you
understand the terms and coverage included in your rental agreement.
Maintenance:
Maintenance and servicing are often included in long-term rental agreements.
The rental company is responsible for keeping the vehicle in good condition.
Mileage Limitations:
Some long-term rental agreements have mileage limitations. Make sure
you understand the mileage cap and any associated charges for exceeding it.
Flexibility:
Long-term rentals offer more flexibility than leases. You can return the vehicle at
the end of the rental period without a long-term commitment.
Requirements:
You'll need to meet certain requirements, including having a valid driver's
license, a clean driving record, and a payment method (credit card) to secure the rental.
Benefits:
Long-term rentals are suitable for extended vacations, business trips, temporary
work assignments, or when your personal vehicle is in the shop for repairs.
Return Process:
Understand the return process and any fees associated with early
termination of the rental agreement.
Rental Period Extensions:
If you need the car for a longer period than initially planned, check
with the rental company about extending your agreement. Rates may change if you do so.
Comparison Shopping:
Just like with short-term rentals, it's essential to compare rates and
terms from different rental companies to find the best deal for your specific needs.
