There's a getaround parked in the white zone in front of my apartment building that's $53 per day. For a very broad definition of cheap, perhaps. And is it going to be available when you actually need it? Even the most congested highways are practically empty a pretty large portion of the day, but that doesn't help you for shit during rush hour. > and the car is parked in a parking lot a short walk from where you already are. I assume "huge parking lots everywhere with lots of space" is another US-ism. |
Further, I said a car rental was $100 for the weekend, and yeah, I guess it was $106. The average American spends $800-1000 per month on their car in excess of the base price according to the AAA, so yeah, $53 per day seems pretty cheap within the context of this conversation.
