How much does it cost to go to go on road trip? Is it better to rent a car or use it yourself?

With the improvement of people's living standards, go on road trip is increasingly favored by people. To tell the truth, in fact, going to road trip, especially to road trip for a long distance, is uncontrollable in terms of safety, because of the occurrence of route and car failures; In terms of cost, it is definitely greater than group carpooling; In terms of comfort, whether driving or taking the bus, it is actually uncomfortable.

So what preparations should be made on the road?

Choose the right car according to the route.

Why it is so popular to go to road trip is definitely partly due to the popularity of SUVs, but it doesn't mean that SUVs can go anywhere you want. Maybe some people think it's as simple as driving your own car and finding a scenic spot to travel. In fact, it is best to choose the right vehicle according to the route and road conditions. If we choose the wrong route, it will not only damage our car, but also make us stop and wait for help, then the beautiful road trip will become worse.

Cars are more than enough for urban road conditions or Zhou Bianyou, but they are not enough when encountering slightly complicated road conditions. If there are many off-road routes, SUV is preferred (choose the corresponding off-road performance vehicle according to the road intensity); If there are many colleagues, MPV with three rows of chairs is more suitable. As the old saying goes, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first. When they travel by car, it is inevitable that they will encounter various unexpected situations. So how should we nip in the bud? Let's take a look at what we need to prepare before we leave!

Check to make sure the car can come back safely!

Only by making sure that your car is in good condition before you go on the road can you avoid driving halfway. First of all, check the condition of the car: check the aging and damage of the tires (including the spare tire) to determine whether you can complete your journey. Check the braking system, mainly to check the braking effect, whether there is brake fluid leakage or not, and whether there is insufficient brake fluid. Check whether the battery, oil, coolant and steering oil are normal. If the car has just been repaired or maintained, don't drive out at once. If it's time to replace the timing belt according to the requirements of the maintenance manual, you'd better change it into a new one before going out. You must also check your physical condition: don't travel sick, even if you have a slight headache or a cold.

But some people want to go to road trip but don't want to spend a lot of money on a gas-guzzling SUV that they don't like. What shall we do? At this time, you can choose to rent a car to road trip, which is also a good choice. The car rental industry is becoming more and more popular now. From the early signs of cars to the present car rental, car rental is very beneficial to environmental protection, so more and more friends rent cars. In order to satisfy the friends who rent a car, the car rental company will also introduce many styles of cars for everyone to enjoy.

So, what are the benefits of renting a car on go on road?

First, the model can be updated at any time.

With the improvement of people's consumption level, there is a desire to constantly update high-end consumer goods. In Europe and America, people change their models every eight months on average. If you spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a Buick now, because of the rapid social and economic development, the performance and appearance of the car will improve a lot after one year, but the price will drop sharply. After one year, if you want to change to a new model, the old car may be 1.5 million yuan, which will be difficult to sell. This means that the car price loss is close to 200,000 yuan within one year. But if you rent a Buick, you only need more than 65438+ 10,000 yuan. Besides, you can rent the latest model at any time. Judging from the fact that people often change their mobile phones now, it can be predicted that it will be the latest fashion for people to change new cars frequently in a few years.

Second, relieve the troubles of vehicle maintenance and annual inspection.

It takes a lot of money and energy to repair and maintain vehicles after purchase and annual inspection of vehicles. But if you rent a car, you won't have these troubles. Whether for vehicle maintenance or other reasons, when the vehicle can't be used normally, the leasing company will provide a replacement vehicle in time to ensure your use.

Third, it can fully improve the utilization rate of funds.

If you buy a car by yourself, you have to pay 300 thousand yuan at a time, but if you are willing to invest so much of your own money to buy a car at one time, then your business ability must be very high. In other words, compared with buying a car, a one-time investment can save at least 200,000 yuan. You can use this 200 thousand to run a business, and you can generate considerable profits.

Fourth, it can guarantee your good financial situation.

Self-purchasing vehicles will inevitably lead to an increase in fixed assets, an increase in loans and a decrease in current assets, leading to a bad financial situation. Renting a vehicle will effectively avoid the above risks.

Fifth, it is conducive to improving the concept of cost and reducing waste.

Self-purchased vehicles can be used at will, especially unit buses, causing unnecessary waste. If you rent a car, you can adjust the number of cars at any time according to business needs. Second, the owner knows his own car cost, which can directly reduce unnecessary cars.

Six, in the event of a traffic accident, the leasing company can fully assist.

When driving a self-purchased vehicle, once an accident occurs, you need to negotiate with the insurance company. Because car owners are not familiar with the procedures of reporting and claiming compensation, they often waste a lot of time and money. As a professional leasing company for vehicle management, it usually has a good cooperative relationship with insurance companies. In the process of handling claims, there must be obvious advantages.

Renting a car has the advantages of renting a car, and driving your own car has different feelings and experiences.
