We have a number of customers that have rented for 6-12 months. Typically they make you come back every 30 days so they can check the mileage and perform any necessary maintenance. They may also want to close out your existing contract and open a new one. You would have the option of switching vehicles at that time.
What we usually recommend though is to only rent for 30 days at a time for a few reasons:
1. Typically you can find coupns for $50 off a monthly rental. If you rent a month at a time, you can apply them each and every time, but if your contract is for 2+ months, the $50 comes off only once, so over a year, the savings can be as much as $550
2. By setting up 12 1-month rentals, AutoSlash can continue to shop for better deals on rentals 2-12 while you are in month 1, 3-12 in month 2, etc. Additionally, we may be able to find a better deal on a higher or alternate vehicle class.
Feel free to PM us here or email [email protected] and we'd be happy to assist.

I almost always get upgraded, I book a full and got a Lincoln MKZ for Jan/Feb a Cadillac XTS for Dec/Jan a Ford Explorer for Nov/Dec A Durango for Oct/Nov, I forget what I had before that. But this time I got a Malibu and I felt so sad and alone but there are a lot of events going on in the city right now so a manger told me to come back Sunday and he will switch me.

Anyway, the point is, you can divide the year up pretty much any way you want, whatever the reason you want.
And you're much more likely to be able to upgrade on shorter rentals than longer ones, I would think. And you're much more likely to be able to upgrade a total rental than just part of one, I would think.

Another reason to have different rentals every 30 days is because you can sign up for American Express primary rental insurance ($20-$25 per rental), but it is capped at 30 days.

Is it always necessary to go back to the original location or can other locations do the 30 day check?
