The Radar Site

Not everyone owns a car.  Sometimes even car owners are without their car.  It could be a vacation or business trip need.  At times people shy away from driving long distances in their vehicle.  Wear and tear can be minimized this way. That’s where Dollar car rental can enter the picture.

Let’s play make believe.  You’re a suburbanite.  Your job is inside the city.  You live near the railroad station.  Since you spend so much of your time at work, why have a car sitting in a paid parking space?  Nobody drives the car while you’re at work.  Run errands on Saturday.  On that day a car can be rented from a company like Dollar or Budget or Avis.  Return it on Sunday after riding around town, doing the shopping, even driving to a restaurant for dinner.  You now have a car for for your full requirements.  Over the course of a year that’s about 40, a lot less than owning a car with all the associated costs.  Renting a car is a real bargain.

For people who need the car every day, a purchase is a better option. Maybe the kids need a lift to school each day, but the school bus isn’t convenient for the family and it doesn’t get them to sports practices and music lessons. 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 from Dollar car rental for the short term use.

Businesses for which employees travel a lot have to pay mileage reimbursement.  That’s often in the neighborhood of fifty cents or more per mile.  If someone drives 100 miles that adds up to each day. Renting a car from Dollar car rentals or Budget is only $20 each day, plus $12 for a few gallons of gas is still only $32 for that same 100 mile day. That company would do better with a Dollar car rental.
