Can I rent a car for a few months?
Hey, I am essentially hoping to 'rent' a car over the next year and do not wish to own the vehicle at the end of term. I am waiting for the Tesla model 3 to be released next July, but need a car in the meantime. Car hire companies such as europcar do not offer 12/mo contracts from what I've seen, but do you know if dealers would offer something to suit my needs? In summary, I would like to hire a car for the next 3 months, pay a monthly fee, and not own the car at the end. Thank you in advance!
Our answer:
Hi Caoimhe,
What you’re looking at here is car leasing (not PCP) and most major manufacturers should be able to accommodate you. You’ll definitely be able to get a lease deal for 12 months, as originally stated, but if you only want a car for three months, you might find there are penalties for breaking your contract early if you drop out of it. Have a look into leasing, though, and you should be able to find a programme that suits you.
