<prompt> Human: Looking to go from California to Grand Canyon and back. Deciding best method that will not hurt my finances now or in the future. Sorry, looking online at Budget it looks like the total cost will be around 250 including minimum insurance coverage. This is with a basic 4 door compact. Unsure of the mileage for these types of vehicle but planning 200 - 250 for gas and food.My car Nissan Sentra SV 2015will be 0 for rental and roughly around the same for gas and food along the way. But wear on car sounds costly.  <response>: 2008 Civic, drive your own. 2018 Leased BMW, rent.
