I dont get it. The only reason I will rent a car instead of driving my own is due to reasons of insufficient capacity for 6 or 7 passengers. 1000miles should be negligible distance for cars nowadays that can easily run at least 300000 miles.
The greater the distance you travel with your car, the lower is your fixed cost.

Knowing I can keep another 1000 miles off of my car by getting a rental is comforting (for lack of a better term). It also allows us to get a car that fits the trip. I don't have an SUV, but I've rented them for vacations and loaded them up. |
