    Do you prefer having a rental car in every location? Since you're usually just going between a few locations and working a lot, I would think you'd want to go with taxi or driver services. Aren't you scared at getting into a wreck or ticket in these exotic countries, or having to not get lost in a different city every week? You're a brave man behind the wheel.

      These photographers sometimes leave the paddock REALLLLLYYY late when you normally wouldn't be able to get taxis and also at times you have a lot of time to kill between sessions and often the tracks are in the middle of nowhere. Renting a car is always the best way to go if you're doing a job anywhere and want the freedom to move around.
