What counts as a long-term rental?
Anything beyond a typical vacation rental — usually a week, a month, or several months. The longer you book, the lower your effective daily rate:
| Length | Best for |
|---|---|
| Weekly | A full week — better than stacking daily rentals |
| Monthly | 28+ days — the lowest daily rate, plus a SunPass monthly special |
| Multi-month | Extended stays — ask about open-ended pricing |
Who long-term rentals are for
- Snowbirds & seasonal visitors spending the winter in South Florida.
- Remote workers & digital nomads on an extended stay.
- Relocations — a bridge car while you settle in or wait on a purchase.
- Insurance replacements while your own car is repaired.
- Extended business assignments and contractors.
Long-term rental vs. leasing
A lease locks you into 24–36 months, a credit check, and a down payment. A long-term rental does not:
| Long-term rental (iRent) | Lease | |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment | None — extend or return anytime | 24–36 months |
| Credit check | No | Yes |
| Insurance | Coverage options available | You arrange your own |
| Maintenance | Included — iRent handles it | Your responsibility |
| Mileage | 2,000 miles a month, Florida only | Capped, with overage fees |
