Benefits of Long-Term Car Rental vs Leasing

Long-term car rentals are becoming an increasingly popular method for companies replacing their fleets. In comparison to car leasing, where customers or businesses are obligated contractually to a fixed term. Long term rentals provide a great number of benefits:
  • Cost Saving: Long-term car rentals are generally less expensive than leasing companies.

  • Flexible booking: Car rentals are infinitely easier to book.

  • No long-term commitment: Instead of signing an extended lease agreement, long-term car rentals have fewer obligations. Customers can simply return the car once the rental period is completed with minimal fuss.

  • Less paperwork: Car leasing often requires documentation like credit scores, insurance, and proof of income. In comparison, long-term rentals require, at most, a driver's license and a credit or debit card.

  • Cancellation policies: Customers who wish to terminate their car lease prematurely will have to pay high fees, sometimes even the full balance of the lease period. In comparison, long-term car rentals have less strict cancellation with a 30 day notice period.
