Not everyone owns a car. Some people who own them find themselves in positions where they don't have access to their own car. This could be while on a vacation, or while their car is being repaired. Sometimes people don't want to drive their own car on a long trip. They want to avoid the miles of wear and tear on their own vehicle. That's where Dollar car rental can enter the picture.

Imagine this scenario.  Your home is outside the city.  You work in the city.  There's a bus stop nearby.  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.  Go to Avis or Hertz for a car for the day.  Return it on Sunday after riding around town, doing the shopping, even driving to a restaurant for dinner.  Most likely for less that all your car needs have been met.  Over the course of a year that's about 40, a lot less than owning a car with all the associated costs.  The rental car is a better deal.

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.

Companies pay for each mile employees drive.  It's up to over 50 cents each mile.  That's daily for a 100 mile ride. 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.
