Great deals, nice people. I rented multiple times for a total of about 6 months and 3 vehicles. I didn’t need a flashy vehicle but reliable and inexpensive transportation for my son who was visiting. After the first rental, everything was like automatic with minimum fuss. Greatly recommended!

LTR is absolutely amazing! They literally saved my life renting me a vehicle for 2 months after my own car suddenly died so I could make it to work everyday. I was taking Uber to and from work for $50 a day which I could not afford and was in a serious bind. My employer mentioned LTR and was able to rent a car for around $22 per day broken down!!!! There are no hidden fees or credit checks and the price you see is the price you pay. They are extremely nice and very pleasant to do business with which is also very refreshing. I was in a serious bind financially with no options until I found Long Term Rental. I would recommend them to anyone and it was really amazing a company like this exists for people like me. Thanks for everything LTR 💯
