What is the TT Eurodrive short term car lease program with RenaultUSA?
The time has probably come to book your car. The short-term car lease may very well be the answer to all of your needs.
A short-term car lease in Europe is a rental program that allows individuals to lease a vehicle for a short period of time, typically ranging from a few days to a few months. These programs are designed to provide flexibility and convenience for those who need a car for a short-term project or trip to Europe, but do not want the long-term commitment of purchasing or leasing a car.
Short-term car lease programs in Europe offer a variety of brand-new vehicles to choose from, including compact cars, sedans, SUVs, and vans. Customers can choose the length of the lease, the type of vehicle, and most additional features or services they may need, such as insurance or assistance are included.
Short-term car lease programs in Europe are available through specialized short-term car lease providers. Prices for these programs may vary based on the length of the lease, the type of vehicle, and the country where the vehicle is to be picked up from.

Not bad, right? What if, in addition, this formula would allow you substantial savings?
How?
Some of Europe's major car makers offer a formula known as short term car lease. Renault and Dacia are two of them and will not only this formula help you save money, but will also make insurance hassles disappear.
The 50 years old notion behind short-term leasing, or "buy-back lease," is straightforward:
A while ago, the purchase tax on a used vehicle in France was lower than on a new car. By offering new vehicles for lease to US tourists at extremely cheap rates, French car makers participated on a supply of barely used, reduced-VAT cars that would later on be sold to car hire companies and European citizens at very competitive prices. The result was a win-win situation for all participants involved. Foreign visitors included.
Today, the taxes are the same for a used car, as well as for a new one, but Renault and Dacia keep offering this product to United States visitors coming to Europe on a tour, for studies or to work for a non-EU company in order to satisfy a growing demand on low mileage used cars.
The advantages of a short-term lease are non-negligeable:
- You get a brand-new car, with “zero kilometers” – for security reasons, we do test it at the factory, so it will have 12 kilometers or less
- A free GPS covering European countries
- A member of our teams will explain you how the car works, and will set up the GPS with the return agency address
- You don’t get charged for VAT (21%), the TAX-FREE principle applies to products (cars, perfumes, clothes, etc.) but not to services. Which is why car rental companies must charge you for taxes and we don’t : you are buying a service from a rent-a-car company, not a physical product
- The price always includes a full comprehensive insurance, with no deductible and no extra charges for CDW or LDW.
- “Free One-way”: you may pick up your car at one location and drop it off at a different one if you wish. You may change the drop off location up to 4 days prior to the return date
- From 18 years old with a valid drivers’ license. There is no maximum age.
What countries are included in the the Renault Eurodrive insurance?
Countries InsuredWho is entitled to a mini-lease?
You must reside in a country outside the EU - DOM / TOM and French overseas territories included - and may not engage in any gainful activity during your stay. Your visit to the EU must be temporary, and last at least 14 consecutive days.
"So, what is the catch", you wonder? There are very few inconvenients:
- You will have to provide a copy of your non-European passport and a signed contract at least 25 days prior to the delivery date
- Your fiscal address must be outside of the EU, you cannot pay taxes in any of the European community countries
- There aren’t that many short-term lease, tax-free cars available, so it’s better to order as soon as possible, and at least 21 days before your arrival to Europe, while stocks last
