1 Month+ Car Hire & Flexible Leasing
Guide last reviewed: July 2026
Once you need a car for more than a month, flexible leasing (sometimes called "flexi-hire") is usually cheaper and less hassle than repeatedly extending a daily rental. These rolling agreements bundle insurance, servicing and breakdown cover, and can typically be ended with as little as 30 days' notice.
