Long Term Car Rental/Lease

Postby ksabm » Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:01 pm

Hello,

Does anyone know any company that provides long term car rentals to expats? My husband and I moved to Spain about 7 months ago and trying to sort out a car has been the hardest thing ever. We finally took a 1 year Flexi Rental scheme from Enterprise only to be told 3 months into the contract that they are stopping the scheme because they are not making enough profit and gave us two options, either return the car within 30 days or increase the monthly price to 750 euros (about 200 euros more than what we currently pay). So we are trying to find an alternative option.

Edit: We live in Huelva (near Seville) and we are here on a 1-2 years agreement with our employer depending on how things go. So we are not looking to buy a car.

If you live near malaga airport alot of the car hire companies allow you to rent longterm but you have to take the care back every 4 weeks (classed as a new rental) or so to be checked over.

Wouldnt it be easier just buying a cheap second hand car considering what you are paying out each month in rental costs

Sorry I should have been more clearer. We live in Huelva (near Seville) and we are here on a temporary basis, its a 1 to 2 year agreement with our employer so buying a car didn't seem great especially after having looked at the second hand market in Spain.

i paid 600€ for my car, admitedly its a 2002 renault, but its not let me down in 5 years.. just saying...

there are 2 companies here in malaga that i can think of, they hire cars on a long term basis - arrow cars : https://www.arrowcars.es/flexi-lease/

I´ve nothing to do with them, and i dont know them. a fiat panda "sized" car is only 270€ a month.
