Short-Term Car Lease vs Monthly Car Rental

When you need temporary transportation, you may be considering if you should get a short-term car lease or a monthly car rental. Although it is possible to lease a car for a month, it is hard to find a leasing company that will agree to it. Not to mention, most one-month car leases require a credit check, and have rigid start and end dates.

What sets monthly car rentals apart from leases is that you can rent by the month without having any long-term commitments. Rentals are typically less expensive and don’t require a credit check. Simply put, renting a car gives you more freedom, flexibility, and savings.
