Too complicated. I’m going on a one day roadtrip and it’s going to be a lot of fun and the only decisions are where to stop for breakfast and where to have lunch. And the cost really doesn’t matter to me. This is about family and fun.
Like I said you are an outlier. The average urbanite is going to grab the fam take an uber to the airport and fly the 450 then rent at the destination or just uber around there.
If they want to do a road trip for S&giggles then Enterprise will come to the house with a decked out Toyota Minivan hybrid with three rows of screens for the kiddos Wi-Fi built in and 45mpg with 600+ miles of range all with leather captains seats. Corp/ loyalty rates for that is under $200 for a week. Even retail is 52 per day once or twice a year that’s cheaper than two people flying anywhere over 500 miles. There is zero need for urbanites to have a vehicle that goes 500 miles on a tank when they use less than 40 per day and long range 2x or less per yesr. No reason at all other than some mental block that is not based in reality. Cutting their commuting gas bill by five times is a powerful incentive.
