Rental Cars: Expensive and Unsafe?

Renting a car is expensive. If you traveling to Denver, the rental car rates are outrageously expensive. The cheapest price for a compact car is approximately $70+/day. If you decide to use an Airport’s car rental, the cost is also quite expensive.

Another issue is the safety and quality standard. Some car rental providers can not meet the safety standards while operated in a transport service. Back in 2004, two sisters, 24-year-old Raechel Houck and 20-year-old Jacqueline, were killed in a accident when the Chrysler PT Cruiser they rented from Enterprise-Rent-A-Car caught fire due to a power steering fluid malfunction.
