Car Rentals: Lease VS Rent

Friday, August 29th, 2008

If you are planning a European vacation, it is not surprising that you will want to consider traveling to the different attractions on a car, bringing you to the timeless question: which will allow you to enjoy more savings: lease or rent?

Colosseum, Rome, Italy

You will be delighted to know that leasing a car will allow you to save as much as 50 percent compared to renting one. In addition, you will also be enjoying additional perks such as comprehensive insurance, GPS-equipped vehicles, new car models, unlimited mileage, visit 28 countries, 24/7 assistance and no taxes.

You can choose from compact cars, midsize cars and 9-passenger vans. Comparing the cost of renting versus leasing, you will be delighted with the huge difference! For instance, renting a midsize car for 30 days will cost you around $81.45 per day while leasing one will cost you only $50.83.

Of course, the savings are certainly impressive but with the other perks, this deal is certainly irresistible. You can make your travel as comfortable and enjoyable as possible by customizing the vehicles according to your needs and preferences. You can request for a CD changer, luggage racks and car seats for your kids.

Such a deal is possible because taxes for new vehicles in France are quite high and it will be more practical for the car companies like Renault and Peugeot to lease their new cars and then after, sell them to budget-conscious car buyers.

Unfortunately, leasing is an option that is only available to visiting tourists. This means that residents of the European Union are not entitled to such amazing car rental deals. Also, you will have to lease the car for seventeen days or more. If you are on a standard two-week vacation, an extra three days will not really matter considering the savings you will be enjoying.
