Are prior rental cars and trucks really a good deal?

I bought an ex-rental 2005 Chevy Cavalier last summer for my daughter for grad school. In perfect shape and it has not been a moment of trouble since. Other than a minor electrical problem I fixed myself and oil changes.





Very happy with it.





And I rent cars 2-3 times a year and have never abused one. OK, so I went off road once in a Mercury Sable but very gently on a grassy field. And took a rented FOrd Escape over the Sitgreaves pass on old Route 66 in Arizona once. But hey, it was an SUV.Are prior rental cars and trucks really a good deal?
This is an old debate. Some people say that rental cars are not a good deal because people always abuse them, when they rent them. Other people say that rental companies take really good care of them (service them on time and fix everything right away.)


So, who do you believe?


If it was me, I'd rather buy a used car which had one owner, than a car which had a hundred ';owners.';Are prior rental cars and trucks really a good deal?
It is true that people do not treat rental cars like they would their own. However, the rental companies usually maintain them and give you a good warranty; better than one of those corner used car lots. And just where do you think these lots find their cars? At auctions, where unsold rentals are disposed of. One piece of advice from someone who used to be in the business: stay away from the smaller cars like Hundai or Kia. Stick with the better quality foreign or large domestic cars.
If you are a mechanic or can afford one .


Rentals see lots of lunatic drivers and others just inexperienced with that model .


Be prepared in case there are mechanical issues that arise .





Things are good deals IF you are prepared to do repairs .
