Hilarious! Love it! "one free checked car per passenger" is gold.
I have traveled all over the world and I have never driven a car.
My friend showed me a map of their snowbird parents' neighbourhood in AZ and it's literally an hour walk to the nearest non-house with zero bus service.
Rest of the world can't comprehend such levels of car-brainedness.
That's insane. But just imagine how rich they are on all the taxes they don't pay! Probably jet setting all over the world...
I'm in my 50s (weep), have visited* 60 countries, and lived in 4 of them - and have never driven a car, much less owned one, since the day I passed my test.
People don't rent a hire car because they need to, they do it because it's their programmed default.
.* visited == spent at least one night in, not including airports
I bet you're American. I know you have terminal car brain. It's a great shame, over here public transit has always been so good that I genuinely never felt the need to get a car. I save so much money, save on the environment, don't have to breathe carcinogenic exhaust fumes in traffic and in garages on my commute, can spend the time working or watching shit on my phone...
It should be a no brainer but I know the US has been going through a rough patch for... checks watch... a few centuries.
So because I've never owned or driven a car you... Bet I'm American?
You sure about that champ?
Yeah for sure. Thing is I save so much on not owning a car that whenever I need it, I can easily just book a cab.
So you only flew to the Americas?
Or you don't like cities abroad?
