Is that necessary? Seems the cost of maintaining an extra car and the added insurance cost would exceed the cost of a rental, should you need it.
I suppose it is a different way of looking at things. My wife and I have one car, a 2003 Subaru that we paid cash for. It hasn't broken down yet, but in the rare event that it did, we could go about our normal lives using public transit and / or bicycles. I would hate to be that reliant on a car that it'd be cheaper to own two cars in case one broke down.
