Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Find a car rental agency that has six-month car rentals available. Some examples of agencies you can use include Budget and Enterprise. Contact a representative at one of their branches to inquire about vehicles available and price quotes.
  • Step 2:
    Compare quotes for long-term car rental companies. If you want to gather quotes online, you can use a long-term car rental comparison site such as Car Rental Express. Put in your pickup location, six-month rental period and car preference to gather quotes.
  • Step 3:
    Determine the long-term rates charged by the car rental agency. Most agencies consider rentals for more than a two-week period long term. You should save at least a few hundred dollars over a six-month period when compared to the normal rental fees.
  • Step 4:
    Book the six-month car rental online or at the agency. You need to sign rental agreement contracts as well as provide the company with your license information once you pick up the car. The company might require that you be of a certain age to rent the car. The representative will go over the rental fee, insurance coverage costs and mileage surcharges you might be subject to. You will also be given a date to return the vehicle.

Tips & Warnings

  • You should check the long-term car rental quotes against used car prices. It might be more cost-effective to purchase an inexpensive used car rather than paying a six-month rental fee.
