Corporate Car Rental: What Businesses Need to Know

1. Rental Types

Short-term (under 30 days) — ideal for occasional or event-related use

Long-term (30+ days) — an alternative to leasing with lower maintenance overhead
2. Required Documents

Company registration details (Tax ID, legal address)
-
Power of attorney or internal order for the driver
-
Driver’s ID and license
-
Company stamp (if applicable)
3. Contracts and Invoicing

Documents provided: contract, vehicle handover act, and invoices
4. Accounting and Expenses

Keep all documents in proper form for accounting and audits
