Do you need a car? If you are only driving 2k a year, and are contemplating $500 a month for a car payment/insurance you are talking about paying $3 a mile. In my area you could take Uber/Lyft/cabs or even a private towncar for less then that.

This is an interesting though. I’ll try to look and see if there is availability tomorrow morning and how long the expected ride may be. I live in a smaller city where Uber isn’t as routine.

In a smaller town you may have better luck arranging a private driver.

I would discuss it with your Uber/Lyft driver and also see what livery options are available. Gig drivers only get about 1/2 of the fare despite being private contractors, and arraigning to just call a responsible driver when you need it (or have them pre-scheduled) will result in better reliability and cost over time, since you are not at the will of the app and the driver can pre-plan to be there.
