28 day Car Rental

Renting a car for a long period can be slightly more expensive than leasing a vehicle.  However, there are benefits!  Leasing a vehicle can tie you into a minimum term contract, generally no less than 24 months.  Returning early due to job loss or similar attracts 'early return' penalties.  Renting a vehicle long term is based on 28 day periods that roll over for as long as you need, therefore, returning early attracts no penalties, offering you the flexibility needed when starting a new job for example.

Most Long Term Car Rental Hire companies may sign you into a term of 6 periods, where at the end of the 6 periods you will be required to return the vehicle and take a different one.  There are some companies that actually own their stock and as such will not require you to return after 6 periods, saving you the Inconvenience of learning a new car, taking a day off work to swap cars, etc.

Why 28 days and not a month?  It is quite simple really.  Not every month consists of the same number of days so by charging on a rolling 28 day basis keeps things simple and charges the same so you always know where you are.

Can I change the car during the rental?  This varies from company to company but in most cases this is possible.  Generally you will return the vehicle at the end of your current period and the staff will change the agreement.  Again, swapping at the end of the 28 day period will simplify payments.

Companies that own their own stock have access to various makes and models in addition to having the ability to source vehicles in at short notice. It is just up to you to select a vehicle.

Have you considered what car would be suitable? Taking into account your height, how the car would perform in the town or on the motorway?  Keep your eyes peeled on this blog as we aim to provide all the information you will need.
