Well...at 100+ dollars a day non corporate rate that really doesn't make a lot of economical sense, does it?

Kind of a silly argument to make there, IMO.

You're right, they do mostly happen close to home...but that doesn't mean that can't happen when you're far from home. And having to navigate those challenges from a distance are a royal pain in the ass.

My wife is in insurance and has had to coordinate with folks that have had this happen so I hear the horror stories. It's worth the money in the short term to avoid that for me.

But these are my own choices and my own prerogatives. It doesn't have to be yours. I'll share it though in the event someone has these concerns themselves and haven't considered it.

Buy for the 90% use case. Find a workaround for the rest. That's why I don't have a truck. When I need one, I can go rent one for 20 bucks at home depot.
