Longer term hire cars

Can you get reasonable deals?

I need a more robust car for my new job, where i'll be getting a monthly allowance and am considering PCP / Lease / buy, but I don't want to do this in the probation period as the car I would likely go for would be more if I was in the job than out of it, but need something for the first 6 months due to the travel which i'm not happy about doing in my car (it's older and needs replacing).

I haven't made any enquiries just yet but can't think of what else to do in the first few months.

    Buy something cheap until the job is more secure?

    Or spend the money on bringing your current car upto scratch.

    There are car rental companies doing 1 month + hire on cars. Local one to me hires Corsa/Fiesta sized cars for £400+ a month, so a 6 month hire would work out nearly £2500.

    Whats wrong with your own car OP?
