I always rent for long trips. For what you can rent a car for per week, with unlimited mileage, it's a much better deal than taking your own car. To use an analogy, Saabs are like a fine wine that is best sipped-what you need for this trip is supermarket jug wine to chug. There's a lot of advantages, you get in an accident, have mechanical difficulties, get vandalized, etc-it's not your problem. You can use a car that's more appropriate for the trip that you wouldn't neccessarily want to own, like maybe a little econo box to save on fuel, or a convertible, or a large van or sport ute. You're obviously worried above it a little. Why not rent a brand new domestic car that can be fixed in any town you come to? A Saab costs at least $.40 a mile to operate, do the math.
