Rent only, from live listings today. Add a refundable bond, plus your own fuel, tolls and fines.
The cost is simply the weekly rate times the number of weeks, plus a refundable bond. For example, a $160-a-week car kept for 13 weeks is $2,080 in rent. The rate doesn't change because you keep the car longer, so the number you see on the listing is the number you budget for.

Long-term rental vs a lease or car loan
A lease or loan commits you to years of payments, a credit check, and in the case of a loan, the car's depreciation. Long-term rental commits you to one month, then 2 weeks' notice. The weekly rate includes the vehicle's insurance, scheduled servicing and wear-and-tear repairs; you pay fuel, tolls, fines and damage up to the insurance excess. If your plans change, you hand the car back.
Monthly car rental in Melbourne
Searching for a monthly car rental or monthly car hire? That is how this works: rent is billed weekly in advance, the minimum is one month, and you can keep going month to month for as long as you need, then give 2 weeks' notice. There is no separate monthly contract to sign.
Who rents long-term
People new to Melbourne who need a car straight away, rideshare and delivery drivers, people between cars, and anyone who wants a fixed weekly motoring cost with no ownership risk.
In the weekly rent: insurance (cover and excess in your booking documents), unlimited kilometres, roadside assistance, and servicing and wear-and-tear repairs. You pay fuel, tolls, parking, fines and damage up to the excess. What the weekly rent covers

Long-term vehicle rental: your questions
Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp or call 0432 639 096.
Is this a lease?
No. It's a rental, not a lease or finance agreement. There's no 6 or 12 month contract; the same weekly-billed rental simply continues for as long as you need the car.
What happens after the first month?
Nothing changes. The car stays on the same weekly rate until either of us gives 2 weeks' notice.
Can I rent a car month to month?
Yes. After the one-month minimum the rental simply continues, billed weekly, until you give 2 weeks' notice.
Is there a no-deposit long-term rental?
No. A refundable security bond applies to every vehicle and is shown on its listing. It is refunded within 30 days of return, sooner if nothing is outstanding.
Is long-term hire cheaper per week?
No, the weekly rate is the same at one month or six. What you get is a fixed, predictable cost with servicing and wear-and-tear repairs covered.
What's covered while I have the car?
The vehicle is insured (cover, excess and exclusions are in your booking documents), and we pay for scheduled servicing and wear-and-tear repairs. You cover fuel, tolls, fines, and damage up to the excess.

Kilometre Limits on Weekly Car Rentals: What to Check
Many rentals include unlimited kilometres, but not all. Where there is a cap, you pay a per-kilometre charge above it, so compare offers on the total cost at the distance you actually drive.
