Renting a Car for My Next Trip to Save Miles on My Lease

There is a lot of controversy about leasing versus financing a vehicle these days.  However, I have always preferred to lease.  I think if you cannot afford to buy a new car every two to three years but you like the luxury and reliability of newer vehicles it can be a great option.  However, the only problem I continuously have is the limitation on the mileage.  Therefore, for my last lease I realized it was more cost effective to go to an Orlando car rental and rent a gas efficient vehicle for longer trips and save the miles on my lease. 

In Florida, even the smallest trip can be a long drive.  I visit Orlando and Fort Lauderdale on a regular basis to visit family and my lease was paying the price (or should I say I was).  Therefore, I now look for Fort Lauderdale rental cars or Orlando rental cars depending on where I am traveling.  This way I can enjoy my trips without stressing about how many miles I can allot myself.

I think I have probably reduced my overall annual mileage by a couple thousand miles and I don’t anticipate paying the dealership for my miscalculations any more.
