At 3 months, it is probably roughly a wash to just rent a car after allowing for depreciation of your vehicle, storage costs if you have to pay for it, and the cost of service, and paying insurance for 9 months for something that you are not using, but could be a liability. New cars depreciate at about 20% the first year. Older cars slower, but maintenance starts to rise. You also won't have the hassle of selling your lightly used car hoping to get full value because of its low mileage.
