I find that incredibly hard to believe, unless you're renting a large truck once a month.
- hightrix 3y agoAnecdotally, I fit this description. I own a large SUV as my daily driver. It is fully paid off. I use it to get lunch and other errands for most trips. About once a month or so, I need to use the full capacity of the vehicle. This would run 50-100 bucks to rent an equally capable vehicle. For me, it is absolutely worth saving 600-1200 bucks a year to not have to deal with the inconvenience of renting a vehicle to run an errand once a month. That price doesn’t include any insurance changes, getting to/from the rental place, and any additional costs I’m unaware of.

- bluGill 3y agoEvery try to rent a truck for use as a truck? To haul rock for example? You will spend more than a day just finding a place that will allow that (everyone else will see the scratches and dents that does to the truck and charge you expensive damages). I've also called uhaul before and discovered they we sold out (uhaul doesn't allow rock type uses, but does cover some truck needs). There are also times when you don't need a truck, just a larger car, renting that is $100/day. And again I've tried before and discovered the rental cars place was sold out when I needed one.
