Renting a car for several months: what are your best options?
Are you looking for a flexible way to rent a car without being tied to a long-term contract? Whether you need a car for a few months between vehicles, for a temporary assignment, or because you want the freedom to switch cars quickly, we outline the options for you.
In this blog, we dive into the world of short-term car rentals and provide helpful tips and scenarios to help you make the perfect choice for your situation.
Why rent a car for several months?
There are many situations where you might want to rent a car for a few months. Perhaps you’re waiting for the delivery of a new car, want to avoid long-term financial commitments due to a BKR registration, or need a temporary car for a business assignment. Even if you have a temporary job, this might be a good option to see if your contract is extended. Whatever your reason, there are flexible solutions available.
Options for short-term car rental
Depending on how long you need the car, there are various options for renting your car.
Renting a car for 1 month
For a one-month period, a traditional car rental company is often the best choice. They offer flexible and affordable solutions for renting a car for a month.
Renting a car for 2 months
If you need a car for two months, a traditional car rental company is usually still the best option. However, if you expect to need the car for longer, a car subscription is a better choice. At KINTO, we offer subscriptions starting from three months, ideal for anyone seeking flexibility.
Renting a car for 3 months
For a three-month period, a KINTO Flex car subscription is often the most cost-effective and best option. This is typically cheaper than renting a car from a traditional rental company. Plus, if you need the car longer, you can keep driving it as long as you want.
Renting a car for 4 months
At KINTO, we don’t offer car subscriptions specifically for four months, but after the minimum term of three months, the subscription is automatically renewed and can be canceled on a month-to-month basis. This means you can easily use the car for four months as well.
Renting a car for 6 months
For a six-month period, KINTO Flex is an excellent choice. With a minimum term of six months, we can offer you a lower monthly fee. This makes it a very cost-effective solution for anyone looking to rent a car for half a year or longer.
What is a car subscription?
A car subscription is a flexible way to use a car without the long-term commitments of a lease contract. It offers many of the same benefits as renting a car, such as included maintenance and insurance, but with the added flexibility of canceling on a month-to-month basis after a short minimum term. This makes it ideal for people who want mobility without committing long-term. Want to know more? Read more about KINTO Flex.
