    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 rented a car for a week recently: $1000

      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.

      OP is clueless.
