I need a car for a few months. Wont need it after that.

Is it better to rent or buy a used car?

For renting, which companies are best?

Thanks.

For a few months? No way is the answer renting.

Where do you need the car? How many months? If this is for a trip do you already have a car? I'm asking because a Carnet de Passage might be the best fit.

hskhan, what is a carnet de passage?

I need the car in the states. For about three to four months. No its not for a trip. Just for regular daily driving.

buy a dependable used car that can be sold easily, cant go wrong with buying a civic in this case.

I see techies on shortterm projects (4-6 months) who come to US, and buy these cars and are easily able to sell them before they leave.

it cuts both ways.. when she buys a high resale car.. she'd be paying the premium to the owner before her.

I am thinking less in terms of price alone but the ability to quickly sell it once she is done.
