I was wondering what the best way to rent a car for a few months would be. I don't have much experience with car rentals. How much could a back packer expect to pay for a long term rental?
I was getting information on Uber just for my general interest and found https://www.splend.com.au/
You can hire a SUV for $270 per week with a minimum rental of six weeks and a $275 membership. No where on the site does it specify you have to be an Uber driver though even if there were you could do a couple of rides a month to satisfy it.
Under two grand for six weeks seems good to me.
haven't really heard about the website you mentioned, but if it's for more than a month, what I'd do is buy a car that is reasonably looked after and has rego for >2months, use it and sell it at the end of the duration. You'll probably be better off as long as you do your due diligence when purchasing.
