State Motorfleet
The state of North Carolina does maintain a fleet of cars, although availability is not guaranteed. This is an option if you need a car long-term for a single project, such as daily sampling from a remote site, and you will have to fund it.
Note that the car is billed on a basis of 1050 miles per month and you must meet a minimum mileage of 3150 miles per quarter. You can see full details at Fleet Services. Please make sure you understand that you understand how the billing will work.
