Several years ago I played golf with a guy that was in his upper 80's. He told me that he used his golf cart for transportation and had not owned a car for 5-6 years. Any time he needed a car he called Enterprise rental and got one for the day or so. He would purchase their insurance. He saved on deprecation, maintenance and insurance. He also told me that it had been 6 months since he needed a car. I thought he had it figured out pretty good for his situation and needs.
Rental cars are high now but that will change when the rental car companies get their inventories back to where they should be but that may take some time because of the chip shortage. That will be another blog in the future.
You may not be ready for that type of situation. Purchasing a used car now that used car prices are very high would still perhaps be the best way to go. You might be able to find another snowbird that would rent you their garage for a price reasonable to both of you as your time here may match up with their time frame also. This website would work well to find that person.
