I think the difference between buying and renting is that buying
requires commitment, renting does not.
Got money rent, no money dont rent. Simple as that.
Also, weekend car, although cheaper, restricts you to use a car
during the "peak hours", so not really feasible. Yes, you can
choose to pay the license to use for peak hours but it does add to
your already incurred cost of owning the cars (instalment,
insurance, parking, etc, etc).
Advantage is of course you have a car anytime you like to yourself,
without having to 'share' car with other people.
The above is from the perspective of someone who is current not
working and does not have own a car but occasionally rent.
