Long-term rental provides a vehicle for several months under agreed monthly billing and usage terms. Before signing, confirm the contract length, payment schedule, mileage, maintenance, replacement procedure, deposit, driver changes and early termination conditions. Longer commitment can reduce the effective daily rate but reduces flexibility.

Managing the rental
Keep payments current, attend scheduled servicing and report driver or usage changes before they occur.
