Rent a Car · Guide
If you need a car for more than a week or two, a monthly rental usually works out cheaper per day than paying daily; for short trips of a few days, a daily rate is more flexible and better value — the crossover point depends on the business and the car.


Monthly packages are priced at a lower effective day rate to reward a longer commitment, so the more days you need a car, the more a monthly rate tends to save. For extended stays, business trips, relocations or a long visit to the twin cities, it is often the clear value option.
A monthly hire also brings convenience — one arrangement for the whole period rather than repeated bookings — and can usually be taken with a driver or self-drive. Ask how mileage is handled over a month, as long-term use covers more distance.
For a few days — a weekend, a short business trip or a one-off event — a daily rate is simpler and more flexible, and you only pay for the days you actually need. There is no benefit to a monthly package if you are only in town briefly.
To find your break-even point, ask for both a daily and a monthly quote for your dates and compare the total. If your stay is on the border, the monthly rate often wins once you count every day you would otherwise book separately.
