Do you want to have the benefits of driving the car you've always wanted, without the hassle that comes with owning it? Are you unable to qualify for car finance? Or do you just want to hire a car for a long period of time, for a business trip or holiday?
Hiring a car long term means you can drive an almost brand-new car, with low mileage, over an extended period of time, without needing a large amount of money upfront. You won't have to worry about the car's value depreciating daily, or about paying for routine services.
Many car rental agencies offer long term rental packages, which offer the client a number of benefits:
The option to choose the specific car that you want from the agency's fleet.
The ability to exchange the car if it is not to your liking.
The rental fee includes insurance waivers, which means that the amount you are liable to pay in the case of theft or an accident is reduced.
The use of a 24 hour call centre in the case of emergencies on the road.
A service plan is included in the rental fee.
Normal rental prices are reduced, so that the monthly payment for the long term car hire package works out more reasonable for the client.
