I think your boss is nuts. A car is a car. Given proper maintenance there really isn't anything about a newer car that makes it more reliable than an older car IMHO. Road trip miles - freeway miles - are some of the easiest miles a car can do, much gentler than city traffic. My road trip car is a '99 Suburban with 180k. Before than it was an '84 Suburban with 350k. This summer my SPG will do a 1000 mile road trip to SOC with over 250k on the clock. It's just not a big deal. Keep up with maintenance, pay attention to your car, and you'll be fine.
(Side note: Virtually no rental companies charge for mileage anymore - unless you're renting a high-end automobile like a Ferrari, most rentals are unlimited mileage)
