Common concerns

The Cost and Inconvenience of Long-Term Car Ownership

After buying a car, expenses such as maintenance, parking, insurance and depreciation keep accumulating. For those who drive infrequently, these fixed costs may not match how much they actually use the car.

Solutions

Rent on Demand, Pay Only for Your Actual Trips

Short-term car rental lets you book a car by the hour or by the day, and you return it once your trip ends, with no long-term maintenance or ownership costs.

Overview

Short-term car rental means renting a vehicle by the hour or by the day, suited to people who do not need to own a car long term but have occasional short trips. Compared with long-term leases, short-term rental spares you fixed costs such as depreciation, maintenance scheduling and long-term insurance, and you decide how long to use the car. For moving house, visiting relatives or friends, short trips or taking someone to an appointment, paying by the time used is usually the more suitable option.

We want the arrangements to be clear before you rent. Before choosing a rental period, consider the start and end times of your trip, the route area, the number of passengers, and whether you need extra luggage space. If your plans change, it is advisable to adjust your booking as early as possible so the vehicle's availability is not affected. During the rental, make sure the driver meets the relevant legal requirements and uses the vehicle in accordance with the terms.

Before renting a car, we recommend reading the terms on charges, return times and fuel arrangements, so you won't discover on return that things differ from what you expected. If your trip involves crossing districts or overnight use, check any restrictions in advance. With careful planning, short-term car rental can be an efficient travel choice.

Who it is for

  • Occasional Car Users

    You travel mainly by public transport and only need a car on certain days. Renting by time slot avoids the burden of owning a car long-term.

  • Families Needing Short-Distance Transport

    When moving furniture, buying bulky items or carrying luggage, a short-term car for hauling is often more practical than a long-term arrangement.

  • People with Last-Minute Travel Plans

    If you need a car at short notice for business trips, visiting relatives or short-term events, you can choose a suitable rental period based on your actual itinerary.
