I need a cheap temporary car

[imported_Rat]

What do they cost to rent? Can I lease one and return it after a month?

Depends...several hundred dollars a week to rent. Look in a local paper and get something for like $500 and sell it when you're done.

Low end entry level rental cars are generally around $15 to $30 per day ... it depends on location, and whatever discounts you are able to get, and possibly when you get it.
You might be able to get a better deal for a longer rental period.

Lease usually requires a huge down payment, you probably wouldn't get that back.

You might want to consider buying an old used beater car ... like a late 80s Honda or Toyota or something ... and then resell it after you are done with it.
Assuming you get a halfway decent deal on the thing (buying from a private party), I don't know how much on average you would lose, and I don't know if this is really a "viable" option, but, it might be worth investigating.
<--- EDIT ... ok ... Mattlocs idea is the same thing I'm trying to convey here, but he said it much better ... hehehe

Aye, yes, buy a beater car and then re-sell it when you be finished. hopefully for about the same price. Aye.

I paid $500 to rent a Sebring for a month if that helps

 

[imported_Rat]

And about what does a tow cost?

 

[jpeyton]

If it is only for a month, shop around and try to rent one. I'd much prefer driving around a nice rental for a month vs. buying a beater and selling it.
