4) You will probably get better mpg and save enough gas money to pay for the rental
5) You won't incur hidden costs on your vehicle eg tire and suspension wear
6) You don't have to increase the mileage allowance on your insurance
If you're going to be putting on a lot of miles in a short amount of time, vehicle rentals with unlimited miles can pay off handsomely.
To be fair wouldn't you have to increase the mileage allowance on your insurance anyway if you're using your own car insurance with the rental? If you use the rental places insurance its far more expensive.
I agree with all of your other points except for this one.
