Why Renting a Car is Better than Buying it
Ever wanted to get the car of your dreams? A car that you fantasize about driving in like in those commercials you saw? Well, the truth is the cars you want are plenty in a growing modern city like Dubai, and that’s good news. But there’s just one problem. All the good cars in Dubai cost a lot of money, and I mean A LOT OF MONEY. That’s because the average cost of buying a car in the UAE can range from 150,000 to 300,000 dirhams. Even luxury cars such as Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover, etc. can cost upward to 1 million dirhams. That’s why buying a car in Dubai feels like an insane thing to do with all the high prices on display. But there is another way of getting a car and that is by renting it.
Here are several reasons why renting a car instead of breaking the bank by buying would be a better option for you:
- Spare your Wallet
Whenever you buy a car, if you ever have the money or take a loan/down payment, you will be slapped with additional costs such as the car insurance you pay monthly, the registration fees for a license plate, the price value decreasing over time, and maintenance you would have to do for the car to keep it running smoothly. Hence, why renting seems like the better option for your budget.
- Speed past Public Transport
Despite having to pay a monthly fee for renting a car, having one helps you get from one place to another in a short time compared to going by public transport such as a bus or train. You save minutes and even hours as you go faster in a car on the highway. Though you’ll do have to spend some money on fuel and Salik instead of topping up your Nol card occasionally.
- Test Drive
When it comes to renting a car, it always feels like you’re testing it out. Over time, the curiosity wears off as you know what the car’s strengths and weaknesses are so that if you do plan on buying one day, you think about whether it’s worth the money. So, think of renting a car like going on a test drive.
- Impress with Luxury
When the time comes that you’ll rent an expensive luxury car like a BMW or a Mercedes, you’ll be feeling overwhelmed and satisfied that you’re driving something that only the rich can afford. In that case, you may want to show off to your friends and brag about your car and how everyone else is cheap. Renting a luxury car is also useful if you plan on impressing someone on a date. Sure, they might get the wrong impression and not realize you’re renting it, but at least it shows them that you have good taste.
- Stop Wear & Tear
Renting a car is the best option when it comes to keeping the mileage low on your new car and making sure your old car runs like normal. This is useful when you want to go on a cross-country road trip but don’t want to damage the older car with wear and tear from the environment.
