Xylakant covered most of it. But just to add: when you want to haul furniture you rent a proper truck, and when you want to go on a fishing trip with your buddies you rent a nice 4 wheel SUV, and when you want to go on a cross country road trip you rent a nice sedan or even a cabriolet if that is what you want, instead of every day driving to work in a too big and expensive car that kind of works ok for all of the above.
- Hamuko 6y agoLet's say that I need to go get a shelf from IKEA next weekend. Renting out the absolutely cheapest car (from Hertz) is 95 euro for a day. A larger one is 107 euro a day. If I wanted to for example get an automatic, that'd be 240 euro a day. 240 euros is already three months worth of insurance. And that's just for having a Ford Focus for 24 hours. And I need to drive to the airport and back in order to have the damn thing, so that's 50 minutes of driving on top of it. Hopefully they don't charge me to park there as well. And for what purpose? So that I don't have the burden of owning a non-miniature car? I cannot fathom what the point in this exercise is. It's not like the miniature car has some immense superior qualities to it. By contrary, it seems to have an awful a lot of negatives.
- Xylakant 6y agoHow often do you really do that? Be honest, but very few people go to ikea and buy a single shelf every week. And for anything more than a shelf or two you’ll likely need a larger car anyways. Why don’t you go to ikea, shop and drop it off with the folks offering transportation? They’ll take 40 or so and deliver a full minivan load for that. Or take a cab? There’s also car sharing options that offer minivans in many places for as low as 5EUR/hour.
