Well this isn't necessarily true. Electric or regular bikes are always an option. Yes, car dependency still sucks.
You expect someone to fucking BIKE a 2 hour car ride to an Airport? You must be off your rocker.
Renting a car is way cheaper unless you drive like every day. Edit: to be clear, no, you don't have to use your bike and your only source of transportation.
Renting a car is definitely not cheaper than owning one. Rentals have a fixed daily cost. If you pay cash for a car, you own it and don't incur a fixed monthly bill to pay off the car. Your costs become upkeep, insurance, and gasoline. Which, you still have to pay Gas and Insurance on a Rental too, and often maintenance if the rental is in your possession and it needs maintenance.
