depends on how frequently you need a car. I drive maybe 3 times a year. that's ~2k in gas/rent fees. that's less than insurance assuming each rental is for a week. never mind the cost of actually buying the car. in practice I spend maybe 1k every year for cars. primarily for vacation. which owning a car wouldn't absolve me from spending.
