Sixt: A Middle Ground Tow Rental
I saw an ad today for Sixt, a company that rents cars for longer than a few days. I bought a motorhome and my plan was to buy or lease a Jeep Wrangler to flat tow behind it. However, with the world in the middle of the stay at home panic I don't want to commit to a purchase or 3 year lease. Last Friday when my wife flew into town I rented a car from Enterprise for 2 days and it was a good experience. But at $30 a day I can't keep the car all month. That's $900 per month.
So today I saw this ad, maybe fed to me in an ad because I had searched for Enterprise on Google. Sixt offers $79 per week or $289 per month on a rental of at least 3 months. That's a lot better for me if I decide to bail on this lifestyle and go back to Colombia. However, I probably won't be able to flat tow one of their rentals. Even if it will flat tow they probably won't want me to drill holes in their car to hook up the tow bar. But, it might still be a cheaper solution to buying/leasing if I buy a trailer and tow it that way.
I'm not ready to pull the trigger on this decision, but it's something to think about. For now I may just rent Enterprise 5 or 10 days a month and spend the rest of the time here in the RV park I'm renting. There is a Walmart 5 minutes away and we can always unhook and drive over there in the motorhome without too much trouble or spending too much gas. And we have a beautiful park across the street where we can ride our bikes which is why I picked this RV park.
