What is a One Month Car Rental?
A one-month car rental - sometimes called a 30-day car rental, monthly car hire, or long-term car rental - allows you to hire a vehicle for around 28 to 31 days at a fixed price, rather than paying a daily rate - very much like short term car leasing.
Unlike long-term leasing, there’s no long contract tying you down. You simply pay for the month you need, then return the vehicle, or extend if you’d like more time behind the wheel.
Benefits of a One Month Car Rental Deal
Choosing a one-month rental from ACL Automotive offers several advantages.
Cost Savings Over Daily Rentals
Daily rentals add up fast over several weeks. Our monthly rates are significantly lower than paying day-by-day. For example:
- Daily rental of a compact car: £35/day x 30 = £1,050
- One-month deal for the same car: from £699/month
That’s a potential saving of over £350 - money better spent on your travels or business expenses.
Flexibility Without Long-Term Commitment
A lease often requires 6-12 months minimum. A month long car rental gives you the freedom to keep your options open. Perfect for:
- Temporary work contracts
- Relocations
- Waiting for a new car delivery
- Trying out a specific model before buying
Wide Range of Vehicles
ACL Automotive’s fleet includes everything from economical city cars to spacious SUVs and luxury saloons. Whether you’re commuting in London or heading on a road trip around the UK, we have the ideal car for your plans.

Mileage Limits Explained
Most one-month rentals come with a mileage cap. For example, a deal might include 2,000 miles for the month. That’s about 66 miles per day - plenty for most drivers.
If you expect to drive further:
- Let us know upfront so we can tailor your agreement.
- Extra mileage is billed at a set per-mile rate.
