Renting a car is a practical solution for many situations – from one-off trips to daily use for business. The real question is which option suits you better: short-term or long-term rental? The difference isn’t just in the duration but also in price, flexibility, and conditions.
What is short-term car rental?
Short-term rental is the most common choice for people who need a car temporarily. It’s ideal for weekend trips, business travel, holidays, or when your own car is in the shop.
The duration usually ranges from a single day up to one month, and the advantage is straightforward – you pay only for the time you actually use the vehicle.
Key benefits of short-term rental:
- Maximum flexibility – you rent a car only when you need it, with no commitments.
- Wide selection of models – from small city cars to SUVs and premium vehicles.
- Perfect solution for spontaneous trips or temporary replacement transport.
Short-term rental is cost-effective when you don’t need a car every day but still want reliability, comfort, and independence for a specific period. You avoid fixed monthly expenses, pay only as needed, and always drive a well-maintained vehicle with full insurance.
What does long-term car rental include?
Long-term rental is designed for individuals and companies that need a car on a regular basis but prefer not to invest in ownership and maintenance. At Moto-Pfohe Rent a Car, long-term rental starts from 1 month and up, and comes with a full service package.
The monthly fee includes:
-
Replacement vehicle in case of breakdown or service, so you’re never left without transport.
-
Full-coverage insurance.
-
Technical maintenance and service costs.
-
Paid Bulgarian vignette and 24/7 roadside assistance nationwide.
-
Seasonal tires for year-round safety and comfort.
-
Flexible monthly mileage options – 2500 km, 4000 km, or higher.
-
Delivery and collection of the car to any location in Bulgaria.
-
Options to end the contract at the end of any month.
The biggest advantage of long-term rental is that you avoid all the responsibilities that come with owning a car – no servicing, no insurance paperwork, no administrative hassle. Everything is included in the monthly payment.
Which option is better for you – short-term or long-term?
It depends on your actual needs
If you travel occasionally, want freedom, and don’t need a car every day, short-term rental is more flexible and financially sensible.
If you drive daily, use the car for work, or want predictability without unnecessary hassle, long-term rental pays off more in the long run.
The price difference becomes noticeable after the first month. With a long-term contract, the daily cost drops significantly because maintenance, insurance, and servicing are already included.
We offer both options with clear terms, flexible durations, and full service. If you’re already a customer, MOTO-PFOHE Rent a Car's loyalty program gives you additional discounts of up to 20% on every future reservation.
