Car rentals that are player owned and properly roleplayed. Indeed. I made a suggestion for player-owned rental companies in the Suggestion section quite a while ago. I think it would be a great idea. Definitely down for people to suggest changes/additions/alternatives to what I presented. https://forum.gta.world/en/index.php?/topic/21047-rental-vehicle-companies-new-rp-for-both-people-businesses/ Edited March 19, 2020 by Giles Link to comment

They wouldn't be that cheap in a realistic situation, especially if you're renting for long periods of time. In real life, on average you'd be spending $600-$1500 a month on a term 3 weeks or longer. Go look it up. If the tables were turned and you had to rent a long-term car from a player owned company, which would cost much more, I'm sure you would seek out more viable alternatives if your character's goal was to be saving for a house. If your character is trying to save for a house, then it would suggest they are somewhat responsible with their money, yes? It makes no sense for them to go spend at least 3-4 times what you would on cheaper methods of transportation. But we're still not addressing the fact that every person who sets down in this city is virtually penniless in the scheme of the server. So the concession can easily be made to allow them to use the rental system until a vehicle that fits the character is available. If people are abusing the rental system? Punish them. I already said that. Link to comment
pateuvasiliu Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Big NO, they were used for crimes and the town was full of them, parked illegally and blocking roads. People were abusing them and using them unrealistically. Edited March 20, 2020 by pateuvasiliu Link to comment

I already said that. Are you going to sit at the airport and report every person who jumps in a rental car? It's not a viable solution unless you're suggesting an Admin sit there and spectate every person who gets in a rental car. In 10 hours, which is how long you get a rental car for, you would have close to $50,000 or more depending on what job you're RP'ing for extra income. If it fits your character, you RP the jobs that give you a government stipend, which is an extra $12,000 a day on top of the $5,000 an hour. That's more than enough to buy something that fits most characters realistically within the first 10 hours of play time. Edited March 20, 2020 by Giles Link to comment
Developer St3fan[NL] Posted March 20, 2020 Developer Share Posted March 20, 2020 Most of the time they were abused. They are a means to get around when you just join. People abuse the fact that they are exempted from needing a license and the list goes on. We literally did this 2 days ago. Its staying for now. 2 Link to comment
