Do you really rent cars in that case, rather than use a taxi?
I occasionally have meetings at similar places in Europe. If I'm alone and have time, I generally prefer to take a bus if it's reasonably convenient (at least every 20 minutes, not raining too much, easy to pay for, up to 10 minutes walk at the other end). I quite like the 'thinking time' of walking the last bit.
If a bus isn't reasonable, or (usually) if I'm with a colleague, I'll take a taxi. It wouldn't really occur to me to rent a car.
- ghaff 3y agoI rent cars all the time going to suburban office parks and even more so if I’m also going to do a hike in some state park or whatever—where there may not even be cell phone reception. I might be marginally more inclined to get an Uber than do a rental than in years past but only marginally. In a few weeks I’ll be going to a conference in Monterey and will be doing some other activities around the conference in some parks and I’ll definitely rent a car. To be clear I won’t generally rent a car if just within eg SF but I’m often going places outside the city where I’m not even staying somewhere I can walk to my destination. And typically I wouldn’t in Europe.
