I want to go on a self-driving trip on National Day, but renting a car is so expensive now. Is there any car rental platform with more affordable prices?

Personally, I feel that the car rental prices on eHi Car Rental are quite favorable. The first time I rented a car from them, they gave me a newbie gift bag, which was very affordable. And as far as I know, the eHi Car Rental platform also allows you to use Sesame Credit without deposit, which is very convenient. Now Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui don’t charge fees for returning the car to other places, which is pretty good.

The reason why people choose to travel by car during the holidays is because there is a unique advantage during the holidays, that is, the highway is free. In other words, most of the cost of self-driving travel is fuel, food and accommodation. In addition, long-distance driving will also cause certain wear and tear on the vehicle, including vehicle maintenance.

Maintenance will consume money and energy. If you choose to rent a car to travel, if the journey is long, you will definitely choose to rent a car when you land. Even if the air ticket price for one person is 1,000-2,000 yuan, you will have to add extra car rental money after landing, so it is not cost-effective in any case. If the journey is relatively close.

Choose to rent a car for self-driving travel, which requires additional rent, but it can save subsequent maintenance costs and time costs. During the long holidays, the cost of renting a car is still relatively high. Generally, the price of a vehicle that can meet the needs of family travel ranges from 800 to 1,000 yuan. Taking Buick GL8 as an example, the price per day is around 1,000 yuan.

This price can be said to be very low cost performance. The maintenance of an ordinary family car generally costs about 500-1,000 yuan, so from a cost perspective, driving your own car is definitely cheaper than renting a car, so if you consider cost-effectiveness, renting a car is definitely not a wise choice.
