Just sell your car and see what life is like without it for a few months. You can always buy another one, especially since car prices are finally starting moderate.

Personally, I lived here for 3 years without a car before I decided to buy one. I only use my car once or twice a week, but for me it’s worth it to have the ability to leave town spontaneously. It’s definitely more of a luxury than a necessity.

I mainly bought a car because I got into hiking and I found that dealing with rentals got to be really annoying.

The traditional rental car places can be frustrating to deal with. Sometimes the JC Hertz would run out of cars on holiday weekends and ruin my plans even though I had a “reservation.”

Even Zipcar was a hassle because I found that the cars near me were always booked up when I wanted one. And when you do get a Zipcar, you’re constantly looking at the clock and stressing out about returning it on time.
