I didn't do it, but I looked into it last summer. Some car rental places do have long term rentals available. But it was stupid expensive, even for something as crappy as a Hyundai Elantra.

 

ttb,

I've done long-term rentals while travelling for work. You usually have to speak with the rental company's "Long-term leasing" department to discuss rates. Often times they want a 60-day rental for the monthly rate. I've paid from $1000-$1800/month for a rental this way, depending on the car. Midsize (Cavalier, Neon, and similar) should be $900-1200/month.

Are you renting for work? Your company may have a negotiated rate with a few rental companies. You should ask around if this is the case.

Honestly, I've had a lot less headaches by just walking into Hertz and renting a car myself, then keeping it for 3-4 weeks and paying the weekly rate (rather than doing the "lease"). It just affords more flexibility, like not being locked into keeping the car for 60 days. I can usually negotiate a lower weekly rate by letting them know that I'll have the car for longer than 1 or 2 weeks.

Good luck.

Triple AAA has some great rates going for its members (~$25/day ~ $180/week for a compact size). I typically rent a car when I go on an extended road trip. Good luck.

 

it depends on if work is going to reimburse me. if they are, then i do care about the price so much...but if they aren't, then i need to be cheap. thanks for the info.
