    Car rentals are expensive and time consuming affairs. This ‘solution’ is worse for the vast majority of people who currently own cars. It’s why you don’t see people doing it.

      I drove a beater with no note for like twenty years and just rented for car trips.

      Having two or three car payments a year is cheaper than twelve.

      It’s unconventional, but plenty of people do it.

      When compared with the cost savings, in my personal case, renting when I need a car to drive 100+miles, is cheaper than buying a more expensive ev, or paying for fuel in a gasoline vehicle.

      The time is negligible as well when I compare the time I don’t spend at gas stations because I charge at home.
