With so much to see and do, it takes a good while to experience New Zealand by road properly. Plus If you've come from far afield you really want to make the most of your time here. Or maybe you are just in between spaces a need a car for an extended period.
Either way, Snap offers long term car rental for our entire range of vehicles!
The best approach to renting a car long term with Snap depends on whether you know the length of time you'll need the car for or not:
I know exactly when I'll need the car
Awesome, just hit the "Book Now" button at the top of the page, enter your dates and our system will show you our range of rentals with our lower long term rates automatically applied. Sweet!
I'm not sure how long I'll need the car
Got it, you need flexibility! If you are hiring for more than 60 days, we can offer a fixed monthly rate for the vehicle of your choice. Check out our range of vehicles on our vehicles page, pick the car for you then send our team a message on our contact page with which vehicle you'd like monthly pricing for. Easy!
If you are hiring for less than 60 days, you can always select a short term hire and then continously extend your rental as you need it. This does come with the risk that the extension may not be granted if the vehicle is needed for another customer - however this is rare.
Long term car rental is an excellent alternative to leasing for businesses, as it offers far greater flexibility due to the monthly rental terms.

LONG TERM CAR RENTAL FOR BUSINESS
LONG TERM CAR RENTAL OVERVIEW
Long term car rental vs buying
Renting a car over an extended period has a number of benefits over outright car ownership (i.e. buying a car), namely:
-
No deposit or major financial outlay required
-
No need to maintain registration, warrant of fitness or vehicle servicing
-
You don’t have to deal with insurance companies, this is handled for you
-
Mechanical breakdown is typically covered with long term car rental
-
Access to more modern, expensive vehicles that you otherwise might not have been able to afford
The major downside long term car rental when compared with buying a car is that you do not actually own the vehicle – and over the long term (2 – 5 years) this may end up being a more expensive option than buying a vehicle outright as you will not be able to sell the vehicle when you are done with it.
IS RENTING A CAR BETTER THAN LEASING / BUYING?
Long term car rental vs leasing
Long term car rental and leasing share many of the same key benefits when compared to purchasing; most of the time the lease payment will include WOF, Rego and general vehicle management, it can be more affordable upfront and if anything goes wrong with the car, you are covered.
The one major advantage of long term car rental over leasing is flexibility. With long term car rental, that you don’t have to sign up for an extended period of time – typically long term car rental is month-to-month, whereas most leases require you to sign up to a year or more!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENT A CAR LONG-TERM?
The cost of renting a car long term is mostly dependent on the type of vehicle you are looking to hire.
Older, smaller vehicles will certainly cost a lot less than vehicles that are newer, larger or are more popular models.
Car rental companies typically provide lower rates when renting vehicles over an extended period (i.e. a month or longer) vs hiring a vehicle over a weekend.
