Rent a car by month: discover the most flexible option for you.
Whenever we think about needing a car for a month, traditional rental is often the first thing that comes to mind. But what if we told you there’s a new way to have a car – without buying it or feeling like you’re paying for more than you actually use? Today, renting a car by month comes with more advantages and a new name: subscription. With xtracars Portugal, you stop renting and start enjoying a car tailored to your lifestyle, hassle-free.

Subscription vs. traditional rental. What’s the best way to rent a car by month?
Traditional car rental often means paperwork, deposits, separate insurance, and unexpected costs. Then there’s car subscription – designed around your needs, with full flexibility and no long-term ties. Let’s compare the main differences.

Traditional Rental vs. Car Subscription.
Traditional rental might seem convenient at first, but you'll quickly realise its limitations. Why? Because you have to deal with:
- High deposits
- Extra charge for maintenance or insurance
- Limited flexibility to switch vehicles
- Rigid contracts.
Now compare that to Xtracars’ rent-a-car-by-month subscription. It works just like a streaming service. Yes, really. Choose the model you want, pay a fixed monthly fee, no hidden surprises, and you're ready to hit the road. Renting a car by month has never been this easy.
What’s included in a car rent?
When you're looking to rent a car by month, it's important to know exactly what’s included. And you'll be surprised by how many benefits come with a Xtracars subscription:
- No upfront payment
- Maintenance and roadside assistance included
- Full insurance
- Easy and quick car swap
- Driver and passenger protection, for extra peace of mind on any journey.
And let’s say it again: all of this with no end-of-month bill shock. Just the freedom to switch or cancel whenever you want.
