The option means you don't tie up capital and have fixed costs, with the possibility of long-term rental for longer-lasting needs. Moreover, medium-term rental integrates perfectly with medium-term rental to cover every operational phase.

What the medium-term rental monthly fee includes

The monthly fee for medium-term rental typically includes:

• Third-party insurance: cover required by law.
• Routine and extraordinary maintenance: included, to avoid unexpected costs.
• Roadside assistance: active 24 hours a day.
• Road tax: in accordance with current regulations.

Medium-term vs long-term rental: the differences

The main difference between medium-term rental and long-term rental is the duration: medium term covers 1 to 24 months, while long term generally exceeds 24 months, up to 60 months or more. Medium term is more flexible and suited to temporary needs, while long term is designed for those who want a vehicle for an extended period, with lower monthly fees thanks to the longer duration. Both options include similar services, but medium term often has a higher monthly fee due to the shorter duration. The choice depends on your needs: if you expect to need the car for less than two years, medium term is the ideal solution.
