In fairness, rental cars are driven harder and treated much more roughly than private vehicles tend to be. (Which is why I've never been a fan of Turo's concept.)
Also, collision repairs likely represent only a fraction of total maintenance costs.
- garyfirestorm 3y agoif the article is claiming 'lowest REPAIR costs', why would you ignore the collision repair? Collisions are not unique to rental fleet, they happen to normal customers too!
- dzhiurgis 3y agoMechanical repair (i.e. broken camera here and there, stuck seatbelt, etc) is going to be always cheaper than collision repairs. Also makes sense to exclude collision repairs - as an individual owner I am not going to run to a shop to repair scratch or gash - I am perfectly happy with mechanically worthy car that has imperfect looks (thats why I maxed out excess on my insurance).
- maxerickson 3y agoThe comparison the other poster made is rental to rental. Like it may be the case that rentals see more collision repairs, but it's still informative for everyday use, things like insurance are going to take into account cost differences like that.
