Hi,

Is it always better to rent a car (instead of drive your personal one) for longer return trips (about 1,000miles coverage).

the journey would just be for a day - Dec 23 arrive, pick kids, and Dec 24 back on the road..

repeat same Dec 30 - 31.

cheers - Noela

 

Huh?

Is there room in your car? Take your car.

The depreciation on your car won't add up to what it's going to cost to rent a car for 4 days...if that was 4 days (23/24 and 30/31) and not 9 days (23/31).

Either way it's cheaper to use your car, and you know more about your car's history and service. You have no idea if a rental has been serviced and will break down, leaving you stranded.

 

thanks - but car will be rented for only 2 days - first from 23 -24, and then 30-31st..(cost of rental about 50 each)

That's four days...23, 24, 30, 31.

You're going to pay $200 if it's $50/day.

 

I would just drive my own. I prefer my car and hate rentals, especially on road trips. I am always pi$$ed after driving a rental a long way. In the end it is up to you and it sounds like you already decided.... So why ask?

I would drive my own. Thats my .02 cents

 

plus most places, if not all rent american cars, and i wouldnt risk driving one of those for a trip that long.

 

When my car was in the shop I got to drive a 2000 max gxe and liked getting to try out another max for a week. However I didn't get to choose this situation and would have perfered driving my own 2k1 se anyday. That max had such warped brakes, worse then mine ever were.

 

are you serious? you're not driving a 1970 429 boss.
drive your own car.

 

This guy is crazy

 

Way to bump 2004.

 

How do you even find a 9 year old thread? Wow!

 

Her first post is a pretty big failure.

 

Drive your own car. I hope I posted a reply before you did your trip

 

 

Hell, the kids are probably driving themselves by now.

 

HAHAHA, you're probably right!!
