My gut reaction is, no. But anyway.
Pros
•They're supposed to be mechanically well maintained. Putting customers in junk cars that break down is bad business.
•They're usually kept very clean. Customers get charged for bringing back trashed out rentals. Rental companies either have detailers or pay for them.
•I've never rented a car that was dirty, beat up or broke down.
•Recent year models.
•Low miles.
•Range of option packages available. The rentals I've driven were well appointed.
Cons
•Cars these days can go for a good while with less than required maintenance. Rental companies know this. They're only keeping the car a little while anyway.
•Cars may be returned looking good, but nothing says they weren't flogged half to death.
•Short and limited warranty.
Then there's price. I looked at Enterprise. Their prices weren't spectacular.
Yall ever buy a rental car?
