Better to Rent a Car Than Own a Car in the Bronx

April 24th, 2012

There were some interesting articles in the media these past few weeks. AAA and other organizations have compiled studies which show that the average car owned by an individual is sitting idle about 23 hours a day. The study concluded that the average car costs its owner close to $9000 a year.

When you consider that the average person is not using their car, it makes sense to consider renting a car in New York City rather than own a car.

Each time you rent a car in the Bronx as an example, the car is cleaned prior to your getting to the Bronx car rental office. How often do people clean their own personal cars. Have you checked out the cost of a car wash lately? A car wash in the Bronx can cost $15 and more.

All Bronx rent a car and 15 passenger vans are serviced. No need to take the Bronx rent a car to a service station which takes time and cost money. The service is done and paid for.

The average car on the road today is a surprising 7 years old. Most Bronx rent a cars are only a year or two old. Compare the gas mileage on your car and that of the Bronx rent a car. Most cars in Allcar Rent A Car’s Bronx car fleet average 30 miles per gallon or better. That alone will save you money by renting a car in the Bronx rather than owning one.

Cheap Bronx rent a car deals are available online and by calling the two Allcar Rent A Car Bronx offices at 116th street and W170 street. Discounts and coupons are available through corporate partners and street fairs in the Bronx and elsewhere throughout New York City.
