A famous old English expression exists describing decisions people make called “penny wise, pound foolish.” The expression was created to describe decisions where a person believes saving a few pennies is a good strategy compared to the pound foolish overlooked larger impact the decision is costing the person.

We at RentLuggage believe this old English saying is analogous to a question we get asked all the time about merely buying a cheap rooftop carrier on Amazon compared to renting with RentLuggage. 

Below are three reasons to better explain why renting a high quality rooftop carrier from RentLuggage is a better pound wise financial decision compared to a penny foolish decision of buying a cheap low quality rooftop carrier from websites like Amazon or Ebay. 

Number 1: Unlike a cheap Amazon rooftop carrier, when you are finished with a RentLuggage rooftop carrier rental, you ship the item back to RentLuggage to be reused over and over. With a cheap Amazon rooftop carrier your rooftop bag either ends up in your basement collecting dust and taking up space or in a landfill somewhere adding to pollution.

Number 2: We have tested and reviewed countless rooftop carriers to select only those rooftop carrier brands we believe are leaders in this space. With a cheap Amazon rooftop carrier, you are selecting brands we believe don’t compare in quality and durability. Do you really want to trust your personal items and clothes with brands like this?

Number 3: When renting with us, you have the ability to communicate with people at RentLuggage, who answer questions all day long about rooftop carriers. When buying an Amazon rooftop carrier you are lucky to get someone, who probably isn’t familiar with rooftop carriers pros and cons to even email you back.

Hopefully these brief lessons have convinced you to make the pound wise financial decision to rent with us on your next road trip. Below is more information to decide on this pound wise strategy today.
