Welcome to Avis
Hire a car in the UK for up to 90 days with our long-term car rental service
Long-term, monthly car rental is an easy alternative to leasing and contract hire when you need a vehicle for up to 90 days.
Whether you’re looking for an alternative to a short-term business car lease or a safe family car for the holidays, our monthly car rental options are an ideal solution if you don’t want the commitment of a short-term car lease.
Renewing your long term rental
If you would like to extend your monthly car rental further, we need to open a new rental period with a new rental agreement number.
Our Rental Operations Team will contact you via SMS before the original check in date to ask how long you wish to extend the rental. In the SMS you can find a secure website link where you can add the return date and the current total mileage reading of the hire car in order to extend the rental. (If you already have a new reservation number for the next period, you can add this information as well on the site).
Our Team will process the extension as soon as possible, however, only after the due date of the rental.
When you would like to discuss your rental extension, you can send us an email or call us during working hours (Monday-Friday 9 AM – 4 PM, CET time +01:00), please make sure to include your rental agreement number or the plate number of the car in your email or have this data available before the call. os_uk@abg.com or +44 1344417017
After 28 days, if you no longer need the car you can drop it off without an early return charge.
What are the payment terms for Avis long-term car hire?
Monthly car rentals are billed at the end of each month.
What is the difference between long-term car rental and a short-term car lease?
A short-term car lease tends to last between three months and one year. Typically, the monthly leasing costs are much higher for shorter contracts, meaning that even the cheapest short-term car lease can be very expensive.
Many car leasing companies will want you to make an initial payment and at the end of the fixed term, there may be an option for you to buy the car.
When you choose long-term car rental with Avis, you benefit from much more flexibility without any long-term commitment. Our long term car hire with insurance, maintenance and road tax included for up to 90 days.
