My only interest in renting cars is long term, greater than one week rentals.

I move often, and when I'm going to be in one place for more than a month I buy a cheap $1000 car. Then I sell it, usually for around $1000. Sometimes I take a loss, sometimes I make some money, it's a wash.

But when in I am in town for less than a few weeks, I rent. Always with Enterprise. Never on airport. In fact, I've taken hours of busses from the airport to save $100 on a rental.

I think it's easy. I go in, I sign a few times, we walk around the car and I leave. Done.

Getaround is cute but its too expensive, Flightcar sounds nice, but it amplifies all the problems that Getaround has.

Meh.

are you US based? I was trying to do the same a few years ago and found it was harder than expected to justify for short time periods with:

    - new license plates
    - state registration
    - sales tax
    - insurance
    - city stickers
    - title application and fees

I remember thinking it wasn't even worth it for me to do buy it and sell it on the 6 month time horizon (and I also couldn't find sub $1000 cars).

I'm asking from a place of envy, not challenge. Please teach me your ways. I must be doing this wrong. Would you mind shooting me an email: [e-mail]
