Sources: Each rental company’s monthly terms and the rental company’s counter policy at the time of booking.

Short version:a lower per-day rate for a month’s commitment — check the mileage allowance and whether it’s billed monthly or in 28-day cycles.

What monthly gives you

A lower per-day rate than weekly for a longer commitment, without the paperwork of a lease. Good for extended work trips, seasonal needs and covering a gap between cars.

Mileage and billing

Monthly rentals may include a mileage cap — we confirm the allowance and any per-mile charge. Some branches bill in 28-day cycles rather than calendar months, which changes the maths; we’ll explain how yours works.

Deposit and extending

A refundable hold applies as with any rental, sized to the class. If you need to keep the car past the month, ask ahead and we’ll re-check availability and the new total — see our extension guide.
