Monthly Car Rental: everything You need to know about this option.
Share
Monthly car rental is becoming an increasingly popular solution, especially for those who need a vehicle for medium or long periods. It’s a cost-effective option, suitable for both professional and personal needs. In this article, we explain why this model is advantageous and who it suits best.
Advantages of Monthly Car Rental.
Monthly car rental offers several advantages when compared to daily or weekly rentals. Typically, it’s the ideal alternative for those looking for a more affordable, practical, and hassle-free option. But there are other benefits. Let’s explore them.
Cost-Effectiveness.
Compared to daily or weekly rental, monthly car rental provides significantly lower daily rates. For those needing a car for several weeks or even months, the total cost is much more competitive. In the case of Guerin car rental, you can book a car for up to 28 days and then conveniently renew for the same period for as long as you need.
No Additional Costs.
Monthly rental includes maintenance, insurance, and taxes, eliminating concerns about unexpected expenses. In addition, companies like Guerin allow you to add extra peace of mind through services such as Premium Road Assistance, which covers situations such as at-fault accidents, lost or forgotten keys, among others.
Flexibility.
Monthly car rental lets you adjust the rental duration as needed. As we've already said, in the case of Guerin the maximum hire period is 28 days, but you can renew this booking as many times as you like. In this way, you gain all the freedom you need to have a car for as long as you really need it.
It’s ideal for those with uncertain plans or open return dates. If necessary, you can also swap vehicles easily to suit your preferences.
Maintenance Included.
Most monthly contracts include preventive maintenance, removing concerns about breakdowns or servicing — a significant difference compared to purchasing or leasing a car. You’ll also benefit from guaranteed servicing, as these are the responsibility of rental companies.
In case of any issue, you can rely on 24-hour assistance. A specialised team will always be available to support you, whatever the situation.
Differences Between Leasing and Monthly Rental.
Although both offer access to a vehicle for an extended period, there are significant differences between leasing and monthly hire. Discover them below:
Leasing:
- A fixed-term finance agreement.
- Monthly payments.

Monthly Rental:
