Dollar Car Rental
Not all people have cars. On occasion car owners can`t use their own vehicle. This could be while on a vacation, or while their car is being repaired. At times people shy away from driving long distances in their vehicle. They want to avoid the miles of wear and tear on their own vehicle. That`s when Dollar car rental is useful.
Consider this. You`re a suburbanite. Your job is inside the city. Your home is within a few blocks of the train station. You don`t drive much during the week so why own a car? When you`re working you can`t drive. So it makes sense to plan errands such as shopping for a Saturday. On that day a car can be rented from a company like Dollar or Budget or Avis. After running all the errands and seeing a play, bring it back on Sunday. That adds up to about $20 for all the necessary car use. Compare that cost – $20 for a day over the course of 52 weeks is $1040 – to the purchase price of a car plus all the associated costs like maintenance, insurance, registration, emissions, and more which add up to thousands of dollars each year. The car rental is a bargain.
For people who need the car every day, a purchase is a better option. If the school bus doesn`t run, someone has to drive the children to school. Maybe the typical daily tasks and errands require more travel and carrying than would be workable on a bus or train schedule. Then it`s like the song lyrics “Buy buy buy” a car. But with a little planning there`s no purchase necessary, just rent for the short term use.
Companies pay for each mile employees drive. That`s often in the neighborhood of fifty cents or more per mile. That`s $50 daily for a 100 mile ride. Renting a car would cost about $20 for the day, and $12 for gas for that same 100 miles. It makes sense, then, for companies to consider a Dollar car rental instead of having employees drive their own cars on business.
