If you use a car frequently, such as for commuting to work or running errands, owning a car can be more cost-effective in the long run.
If you need a specific type of car for your lifestyle or occupation, renting may not have the options you need.
In certain areas, rental car options may be limited, making it more cost-effective to own a car.

Renting car us very expensive. It's better to get a new car which you can pay in installment, banks can finance your car loan and they have good terms too.

When you consider the cost of renting a car everyday, it is realistically better to own a car when though it might look expensive in the short run. But in the long run, it is cheap.

I think it depends if a place has always have a traffic jam. It is not a good thing when it comes to waiting in line to let other cars to move.

These days renting a car can be extremely expensive, especially if you are not the one to drive the car. It is a lot cheaper to own your own car, where you can simply buy fuel and go to anywhere you want to.

I don't consider owning a car for now. I think it's far much cheaper to hire a car for your activities like for a couple of days and return the car to the owners after you are done. This is somehow cheaper in my country.

It seems the cost of hiring a car is cheaper in your country. in my country, if you hire a car for 1 month, you would have spent so much money.

Renting a car all the time is enough to buy a car so it is better to just have your own car

For me I don't back on buying your own car. There are many costs associated with the imports including taxes, and other documentation that requires a very larger amount money to.

I'd rather own my own car than to rent it regularly. If you're someone who always commute to work it is better you by your own car because it can be cost-effective than renting regularly.

All these costs are one time payments that you pay at once and won't have to pay again. You have to think as a business person. If you use a car like on a daily basis, it is cheaper to own one than rent and that is no matter the location.

It's still more economical to have an own car rather than renting. Owning a car is no longer a luxury, it's essential especially in my country where public transportation is not efficient.

Why new car? New cars are very expensive and you have loan for it. Buy cheaper, older car like 10 years old car. It can still last for 5 years minimum, you don't have loan, just fuel and maintaince.

I own a car and I feel comfortable every time I go to work. It is not easy to keep on renting a car or riding in a taxi better own a car and use it with care. My niece also has her own car and she acquired it through installment. And the payment is through her job online. She has good earnings online as a writer in an Australian magazine. I bought my car through my insurance commission outright.

I hate being in traffic whenever I'm driving. It's part of the reason why I work on my driving schedule to be on the road when there's no traffic.

I quite agree with you. Owning a car in this part of the world is not really in that a big deal. renting it may be a waste of money in my perspective

The cost of renting a good car in my country is really high and if you try to do it for a month, you would have spent the an amount of money you would have used to buy a small car. Renting vehicles is a one off thing for me.
