Renting has the hassle of dropping off and picking up vehicle @ each end plus the extra time to do this and fill out paper work
I would drive my own car.
Your cost estimates presume 2 one-way rentals at $50 each, plus taxes and fees. Some rental companies have hefty drop off fees for a 1-way rental, unless you are going airport-to-airport. Check the fine print in the rental agreement.
