This is the second time I've rented a car in my life. The first time was because I had a tiny car, and needed to haul three large-ish people, and three fat dogs 300 miles. I rented a minivan for that trip. I expect I will rent a car a couple times per year. Most of my family lives between 300 and 700 miles away with poor transport options.
I have no idea what my one-way 120-mile trip here would have cost by taxi, then there's the return trip early on Monday... I think renting the car was cheaper and avoided a bigger vehicle (taxi) making *two* round-trips. I doubt the driver would want to stay here for the weekend.
