subject: Save Money And Hire A Car! [print this page] It can often be much easier to hire a car rather than own your own especially if you live in a city because often it is much easier to walk or use public transport to get around.
There is very little point in spending money buying a car, insuring it, taxing it, making sure it has its M.O.T and even buying a parking permit just for it to stay parker outside your home because it takes much longer to drive to work than it does to use other methods of transport. If you can easily get about the city without using a car then there is no need to have one.
If you need a car for going out of the city then it is much more beneficial to hire one, you will be able to have a car to get around and it will cost you much less than owning your own car. When you hire a car the price will include the cost of insurance along with breakdown cover and so you will not incur any extra costs except for fuel.
