One clear price per month, one reservation fee, and nothing hidden.
Transparent pricing
Know what you’ll pay — and when
Your price has a few clear parts. We show every one before you pay anything.
Rental price (per month)
The price on each car class is per month and already includes taxes and the rental company’s fees. It is charged by the rental company, month by month, to your card.
One-time reservation fee
Our service fee for finding, booking and managing your long-term rental. Paid once, after you accept your quote. See the refund rules in our Terms.
Card hold and deposit
At pickup the rental company places an authorization hold on your card — usually about one month of rent plus a deposit of around $200. It is a hold, not a charge, and it renews each month.
Optional add-ons
Unlimited tolls (often $240–$480/month where available), extra miles on premium classes, or a younger-driver option. Only if you choose them.
Good to know
Questions, answered
How long can I rent a car?
From 1 month up to about 12 months at a time. Most customers choose 3, 6 or 11 months. Longer is possible by extending.
Do the prices include everything?
The price per month includes taxes and the rental company’s fees. Not included: our one-time reservation fee, optional add-ons, tolls, tickets, fuel, and any damage. We show the full breakdown in your quote before you pay.
What do I need to pick up the car?
- A valid driver’s license (if it is not U.S.-issued, bring your passport too)
- A major credit card in the driver’s name, with room for one month of rent plus about $200
- Some branches also ask for a second ID or proof of address
Can I rent with a debit card?
Some branches accept debit cards, but rules vary by location and car class, and credit-card rental coverage does not apply to debit cards. Ask us before you book and we will confirm for your branch.
How are the rental charges billed?
At pickup the rental company places a hold on your card for one month of rent plus a deposit (about $200). At the end of each month it charges that month’s rent and places a new hold for the next month. This repeats until you return the car.
What about insurance?
The rental company provides the state-required minimum liability coverage. Collision/damage coverage is your responsibility: some U.S. credit cards cover rentals up to 30–42 days (rental contracts usually renew every 30 days), or you can use your own policy, a non-owner policy, or the rental company’s protection products. Please confirm your coverage with your card issuer or insurer — DriveXtend does not sell insurance and cannot give insurance advice.
