Are you looking for a one-year car lease? We have you covered. SIXT offers two options that are more flexible and are ideal alternatives to leasing a car. You can go for our long-term car rental offer at affordable rates, which applies to rentals from 28 days up to 365 days. The longer you rent a car with SIXT, the cheaper the daily price becomes. This is the most flexible solution we offer since you can return your car any day after the minimum period, thanks to the daily cancellation option. Or you can choose a car subscription, which is our hassle-free solution with a transparent, all-inclusive monthly fee. Choose a minimum term of one month or go for a longer period, such as a 6- or a 12-month subscription. In any case, you are just as flexible after the minimum term has expired: you decide whether you want to continue driving the car or use the monthly pause or termination option. What both options have in common is that they make it extremely easy to book your car and to avoid the commitment of a leasing contract, allowing you to stay flexible.

Reasons for booking a yearly car rental
- Save money: Did you know that if you book a yearly car rental with SIXT, you will likely get a better daily rate than if you lease a vehicle? Drive a new model car while saving money.
- Extended vacations: Renting a car for a year-long trip is an affordable way to get around. Traverse the U.S. or take the road trip of a lifetime in another country with a long-term rental from SIXT.
- Replacement vehicle: Maybe you had a vehicular accident, and the repairs are taking longer than expected. You need reliable transportation while waiting on repairs to your vehicle. We provide an alternative to public transportation and short-term leasing.
- Work relocation: If you have a long-term relocation to another state or city, trust a yearly car rental from SIXT to provide you with reliable transportation.
FAQ about one-year car leases
A standard leasing contract requires a two-year commitment. With short-term leasing, this period is shorter, but is usually 6 months or one year and is not offered by all providers. With SIXT you are therefore much more flexible: the minimum term for car subscriptions is one month, and long-term rentals can be booked from 28 days. Whether with a subscription or a long-term rental, you can avoid the long commitment of a lease.
Leasing has some disadvantages: The costs can be opaque, as there are often additional costs for maintenance and repairs. You are also tied to rigid contract terms for up to four to five years, and when it is possible to return a leased vehicle early, it comes at a steep termination cost. A car subscription or long-term rental are more flexible alternatives. Both offer you more flexibility, shorter contract periods and transparent pricing.
