“Cash flow from the monthly bookings is allowing us to expand. We have more room in our lot to bring [in] more cars. It allows us to grow because there’s less work.”
— Evelyn T., Florida, hosting since 2021
“I offer monthly discounts to win more long-term customers. I think of it like renting out a home, rather than a car — it becomes passive when it is for more than [a] few weeks.”
– Gurbej S., Connecticut, hosting since 2022
“Monthly trips are less hassle — I would rather have less work and effort.”
– Marcus C., Maryland, hosting since 2022

Reasons to love monthly trips
Boost earnings: Monthly trips can increase earnings for vehicles that are typically booked less than half the month.
Lower operational effort: Fewer pick-ups and returns, and less frequent cleanings can save you time and money.
Reduced wear and tear: Lower distance limits help reduce depreciation and long-term maintenance costs.
Lower claims rates: Trips that are a month long or longer historically have significantly fewer claims than shorter trips, based on our data.
Attracting monthly trips
It’s important to offer a discount to make your pricing for monthly trips competitive with short-term leases or other alternatives. Just like a monthly apartment rental has a lower cost per night than a hotel’s nightly rate, guests expect lower daily rates for longer trips.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the monthly discount?
Hosts offer a 45% monthly discount to unlock reduced distance limits and make their vehicle more attractive for guests looking for monthly trips.
What’s the maintenance policy for monthly trips?
Hosts can ask their guests to get routine maintenance during a 30+ day trip. The guest has two weeks to take the car to the shop, and the host will cover the cost. Learn more.
What happens if my guest exceeds the monthly mileage limit?
As with shorter trips, if a guest drives over the distance limit for a monthly trip, you can charge them for the additional distance driven. Learn more.
What are monthly distance limits?
When hosts optimize their settings for monthly trips with a 45% discount, they automatically unlock a reduced distance limit of 1,800 miles/month, to help reduce wear and tear on their car.
Will my vehicle still be available for shorter trips?
Yes, if you optimize your settings for monthly trips, you can still get bookings for shorter trips.
Do I have to wait for the monthly trip to end before I get paid?
No, for any trip that’s longer than seven days, you’ll get partial payments every week until the trip has ended.
