Walking or using public transportation can be convenient, but there are times when not having a car isn’t an option. Here is a list of affordable car rental locations where long-term renters are greeted with low rates. Options include Avis, Budget, Rent a Wreck and Fox Rent a Car.
Avis
To encourage monthly rentals, Avis offers $100 off any rental of 30 days or more. It also has lower rates for customers who want to rent for 60-plus days, and the longer the life of the rental, the more the monthly fee drops. Avis has a one-time contract process; you are billed monthly for your rental without having to renew the contract. It also provides 24-hour roadside assistance.

Budget
Budget car rental offers savings for any rentals of 30 days to 11 months in length. It also offers $50 off any rental up to 330 days long, as well as 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. Like Avis, Budget has a contract policy in which you only have to fill out paperwork once, and from that point on, you are billed monthly; there is no need to continuously return to Budget’s office for contract renewals.

Rent a Wreck
Rent a Wreck markets itself as “the oldest and largest used car rental company in the world.” Don’t overlook this company simply because it uses the term “wreck” to describe its rentals. The majority of cars it has in stock are highly capable and much more affordable to rent than vehicles from other car rental locations. In many cases, its monthly rental fee can be cheaper than the daily cost of renting a new car elsewhere.

Fox Rent A Car
In addition to the same deals as the brand-name car rental locations, such as one-time contract setup and roadside assistance, Fox Rent a Car provides a rewards program in which customers can earn points toward cheaper rentals in the future. This company is the perfect selection for anyone who needs to frequently rent cars for months at a time.
