Not for me. One aspect I appreciate a lot of owning a car is that I KNOW it's available for me whenever I need it, as soon as I need it.
- Hamuko 7y agoYeah, the 24/7 availability of a car is a huge one. There was this weekend when my old car was in the shop and I had to go clean up my old rental apartment before I handed over the keys. Since I had to get cleaning stuff there and carry some leftover stuff from there back, I decided to take a taxi. The distance one-way was about 4 km. I spent an hour going between like 4-5 different taxi apps, including Uber, trying to get someone to come pick me up. It was such a stupid way to spend my time.
