Short Term Rental

---

Short Term Rental is an ideal situation for many businesses at the moment. Due to the current economic climate, many firms are rightly concerned about committing to Contract Hire when considering leasing a car for a new member of staff, not knowing if that employee would meet expectations or what trading is going to be like over the next year or two. A Short Term Leasing arrangement represents far less of a commitment in these uncertain times.

What is Short Term Rental?

Short Term Rental (or Short Term Leasing, as it is also known) is the leasing or hiring of a car or van for a period usually ranging from one to twelve months, with immediate delivery. It is different from Car Leasing, which is usually a 2-5 year contract. It is a very flexible and convenient arrangement, which can usually be extended on a month by month basis, unlike Contract Hire where you are committing to a two or three year fixed term.

It is not the same as Daily Rental, which is hiring a car or van usually for a period of days rather than months, as the name suggests!

There are short term rentals available for most types of vehicles, which are categorised into groups such as small hatchbacks or family saloons. So you would normally request a vehicle type rather than a specific make and model.

Typical Short Term Rental Rates

Here are some examples of UK Short Term Rental rates to give you an idea on cost, based on a minimum of 3 months rental. Obviously, these are quite a bit more expensive than 2 or 3 year Contract Hire rates, but the benefits of not having to commit to a long term contract can sometimes outweigh the higher cost.
