Why is a rental car so expensive?

$170 for a week? 50% of the damn bill is Taxes. Fuck you Arlington Cowboys stadium.

I don't think that's expensive. Go buy a new car and see what the monthly payment would be.

Edit: I'm with you on the bullshit taxes though. I love it how the city officials claim only out of towners rent cars and hotel rooms so the locals will never be subject to this tax. I guess none of them have ever had a mistress.

A ford focus for $170 a week isn't expensive?

Not when you consider you can put 2k miles on it and drive it like you stole it. You just have to get your money's worth and do plenty of e-brake slides, and neutral drops.

I don't intentionally fuck them up, but I've done multiple track days in rental cars!

Perhaps it takes into account no one cares how they drive a rental. Be honest, do you drive a rental the same way you drive your car?


I made a lot of money fixing rentals, well when Enterprise said I could.

I probably drive a rental better than i drive my own car.

And its not the fucking rental prices that are expensive its the taxes.

Just had one for a day yesterday into this morning and paid ~$60 after taxes.
