Car rentals are exceptionally cheap compared to paying to own and drive a car capable of hauling a couch for that one time 4 years ago when you needed that.
I’ve owned my car (small pickup) for 20 years now, paid $11000 for it. I’ve put nothing but, oil changes, tires, brakes, regular maintenance. Gas is a wash because a rental would use the same gas.
If I rented a car 2 or 3 times a year I would’ve paid as much as for my little pickup.
Except if your car is too small for them, and also how often does this happen and why not use a rental?

I rented a car for a week recently: $1000

OP is clueless.
My bike cost me €800 in 10 years, in total, including maintenance. It also made me more fit.
Renting a car is more expensive than owning?
Rent a car by the hour? Where do you live?
Oh, that explains it all - you really have no idea how the rest of the world works, and think that how your tiny little corner works defines it all.
You need to get out and see how everyone else lives.
Has it ever occurred to you that this may also apply to you?
