Might work if your long trips are infrequent, not so well if they're regular. And possibly expensive if your long trip is to some trailhead at the end of a dirt road, where you'll park it for a week or two.

Besides, the problem for me is that AFAIK no one rents decent, driveable cars. I'd be stuck with some POS sedan with an automatic transmission :-(
