If your family is gearing up for a year-end road trip, you may want to consider renting a car instead of taking your own. Renting a car has several advantages. Here are a few reasons why you should rent a car for your road trip this holiday season.
More Miles on Your Car Hurts Its Value
Any car owner looking to resell their car in the future knows the more miles you put on it, the less money you’ll get on the resale. For longer road trips that will put a dent in your car’s mileage, give your vehicle a rest. Instead, let the miles pile up on a rental.
More Miles Means More Maintenance
Similarly, the more you drive your car, the more money you’ll have to put into maintenance. Before gearing up for a trip in your vehicle, take it to the mechanic for a tune-up. After your journey, you may need some tune-ups and fluids topped off as well. With a rental car, a rental company will handle all of the maintenance needs.
Enjoy Extra Features
Unless you’re driving around in the latest car model, your vehicle is likely missing out on some high-tech comfort and safety features. Instead of spending the extra money on technology and safety upgrades for your vehicle, consider renting a newer car model to make your trip more comfortable. Additionally, you may end up with a car that receives better gas mileage than yours, saving even more money.
Additional Space
Packing the family into one car for the long haul to grandma’s house isn’t always the most luxurious way to travel, especially if your family has to cram into a small sedan. For a holiday road trip, you’re going to need ample space for family, luggage, and the presents you’ll be taking home. Renting a bigger car might be the best option to ensure everyone has ample legroom and plenty of trunk space for presents and suitcases.
Saving money on maintenance and gas, preserving your car’s resale value, and enjoying additional space, technology, and safety features are just a few of the reasons why you should rent a car for your holiday road trip.
