Many people rent cars for vacations, business trips, temporary replacement for a car in the shop, or even for use a few days a week when public transportation is otherwise used. A lot of companies rent out autos. One with a big marketing budget is Budget. Thus Budget car rental is often the company of choice. Lowest price is associated with the name. It's great for marketing even if not necessarily the case.
Budget rents more than just passenger vehicles. It also rents trucks used by people for moving, hauling materials and gear for business, and a variety of other purposes. Comfort and style are key to Budget trucks. They're set apart from other truck fleets by features such as A/C, power brakes and power steering. That's quite a deal compared to stiff transmissions, hot interiors and loud rides. There's a big difference between vans and Budget trucks. The interior has no bulge for a wheel well. That adds to the storage in the truck and makes it easier to maneuver items through the interior. Budget even sells the trucks when their time in the rental fleet is complete. So Budget trucks have yet another benefit. They're in great condition and often newer models. People can't waste time with broken down trucks.
It's not convenient to own a car in cities like New York. Good public transportation can be a major factor. But for some tasks people must have a vehicle. When the load is too much to carry on a bus, that's one time. Or maybe a drive in the country sounds pleasant. {In any case, a rental car is the solution|This calls for a rental car|This is a job for a car rental|. As low as $160 for a whole week is quite a value. Even a weekly rental for a weekend can be a much better value than owning a vehicle. When a car isn't necessary every day, people rent them on the days they need them.
Henry Ford never thought his invention would lead to rentals. Seeing Budget car rental do its thing would make him wonder.
