Currently living in NYC without need for a car. Going back to school to get my graduate degree and need a car. Looked into Sixt+ and Flexcar but I’d honestly just get a one year lease. They’re $900+ and $600+ a month respectively and I thought maybe I could do better with a one year lease. Anyone …
