Is Weekly Car Rental Cheaper Than Daily Rental?

The Short Answer

Weekly rental is not always cheaper than daily rental. Whether it is cheaper depends on the provider, the vehicle, the dates and the rental terms. Some providers offer a weekly rate that is lower than the daily rate × 7; others do not. Compare the actual rates for your dates.
