Long term car hire

[PrancingHorses]

Hi all,

I'm between cars at the moment and have 3 months before my new car arrives - anyone know of a good place to hire cars for longer terms? Expedia showing £700 a month for a Fiesta!

Thanks

If it were me, I'd sooner buy a cheap but older car for say £500, then sell it after 3 months.

As you asked, you'll find it's around a third cheaper to just hire one from Enterprise - it'd be around £120 a week for a Fiesta (so circa £1500 for 3 months).

You could always ring and haggle a deal, though.

You're on PH. Buy a £500 snotter, use it for 3 months and then sell or scrap. Will save you hundreds even if you scrap it, plus it will be fun.

Thanks guys - a mate did this £500 snotter st and he ended up having to dump the car as it was a pile of st lol

I'd rather just rent and get out of it later...

Try apex rental, otherwise thrifty have a long term rental tab, it usually excludes vat and insurance. Sometimes it's best to call and get them to quote you.

Anyone have experience with the likes of the above?

(no connections just a passing thought..)

Browse the classifieds for your nearest XJ8 for around £1k, don't look underneath it but make sure everything works.

Waft around for 3 months absolutely loving it and be a bit sad when your new car arrives and you have to sell it.

Worked for me

Northgate do long term rental at reasonable costs for business customers.

Hertz do a long term program - £370 / month for a Fiesta, £460 for an Octavia, £770 for an A4 (all prices exclude insurance and VAT). https://www.hertz.co.uk/p/hertz28/vehicle-guide.
