If you live in an urban area, rentals are convenient. If you are in the suburbs, it's not as simple as you will need a ride to/from the rental lot. You may also be limited by the drop-off/pickup times. Road trips often have very early departures or very late returns. I have a headache just thinking about re-installing 3 car seats for every weekend hiking trip... Things become significantly more painful when you have kids.

Huh? There are at least a dozen rental car pickup and return lots in the suburbs of NW Austin - most of them Enterprise, but several other brands as well. In general, I never wait more than 10-20 minutes to pick up a rental, and have never had limited pickup/dropoff times. (To be fair, this is mostly when one of our cars is in the shop - I haven't done it for holiday trips.) Seriously, picking up a rental car, at least in my suburbs, is easier and quicker than going to the grocery store.
