A while ago my car died, so I suddenly needed transport right now. I was considering renting a car, but my family loaned me an extra vehicle they had on hand that they keep around for just these emergencies.
EDIT: No, there is absolutely no public transport out here. People who can't drive for whatever reason have a very hard time of it.
I would have made a much worse decision if I had to pay for every day I took to make it. Given the luxury of time, I made a much better buying decision for the new-to-me vehicle.

One of the many ways it's expensive to be poor.
