Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Not only using a private car, you can also go home to your hometown by renting a car. But what's up with the costs? Wouldn't this cause expenses to swell?
The answer is of course no, if you have planned your return home well in advance.
Talking about the costs of going home by private car, there are several costs that you need to consider, namely homecoming car service, tolls, fuel, food and drink, and also insurance.
However, if you decide to rent a car, the cost of servicing the homecoming vehicle will be replaced by the rental fee. Apart from that, there are several benefits that you can get from this decision, below are the discussions..
Private cars are protected from the risk of damage
Even if you are the type of driver who often drives safely at all times, when you use your car to go home, the risk of an accident is still there. When that happens, of course you will incur quite a lot of repair costs.
Assuming you have insurance, an accident will still make the car no longer in prime condition.
Going home using a rental car does not mean you are free from the risk of an accident. But at least an accident won't happen to your personal car. The condition of the car remains excellent, and the selling price of your private car can remain stable in the future.
Your personal car kilometers do not increase
By using a rental car to go home for Eid, the car's kilometers parked at home will not increase. This of course greatly affects the selling price and service time.
However, since you left your car, make sure the security of your home is well maintained, because the potential for theft still exists.
Can choose the right car for long trips
The rental company certainly provides various types of cars. There is city car, multi purpose vehicle or MPV, sport utility vehicle or SUVs to cheap, environmentally friendly cars.
If your private car is not suitable and comfortable for long trips, renting a car might be the solution.
If you are carrying a lot of passengers and are going to hit rough terrain, then it's a good idea to choose an MPV or SUV. But if the distance is not too far, you are free to choose a car according to comfort.
