Leasing vs Renting a Car - Which is Better?

If you’re thinking about renting a car for an extended period, you may wonder if you should just jump straight to financing or leasing. 

Because a car’s depreciation occurs in the first year, leasing a car for one year can become quite expensive. It’s also pretty difficult to find a car dealer who is willing to give you a lease for that long (most car leases are written for at least two years).

In the long run, renting a long-term car rental can be a lot easier and cheaper than getting a one-year car lease. And if you’re looking for a short-term auto lease that’s even shorter than a year, then a monthly car rental is perfect for you! The benefits of renting vs leasing a car include the following:

Monthly car rentals...

• Are easier to find than a short-term lease.

• Are less expensive.

• Give you the ability to swap cars.

• Keep you free from leasing/ownership fees (such as vehicle registration and car maintenance)

• Are new vehicles (usually not more than 3 years old).

• Don’t require a credit check.
