New car design has its faults, but man, the crashes most vehicles can sustain now is just unreal.I rent on any long drive where I won't be offroad driving and need my Tacoma. I'm such a frequent renter at my local Toyota dealership I get the corporate rate (and sometimes free upgrades!) and and it's entirely hassle free. I drive to KS for work semi-often and take 1-2 600+ mile roadtrips a year (austin, denver, new mexico, etc). I just call and they have me a car ready. Pretty nice not to have to worry about wear and tear on your own vehicle. I mean gotdamn my tires alone are well over $1,000 bucks for 4. Plus I get like 11mpg in my truck. I can triple that in a rental. No brainer to rent.Renting is always an option for people that may want an older gas guzzler as a DD/semi-local adventure rig, but a newer car for long drives. Until you go somewhere need that old 4WD. Then you hum that mud-tired gas-guzzling sucker (with your tools packed) to wherever you're going. That's what I'll be doing in August (New Mejico). <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
