as the rental cars shops these days will make you pay for the damages if you have an accident as the cheap ones got only third party insurance.

The second, if you will pay something between 1500 - 2000 per month to rent a car for two years and let's say 2000 per month. The total would be around 48,000 ... You can buy with that amount a second hand car or even a new one and sell it after two years even for 30,000 ... you would still have some cash in your hand, but paying for the rental shop is nothing but a waste, throwing your money in the sea.

Just my opinion ...

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
