We also have been doing this (c900 daily driver, but rentals for long trips with 2 kids, not wanting to risk a breakdown). It actually works well as our comprehensive policy on the c900 covers the rental insurance. We have a brand new car when we need it and annual rental cost is usually about the same as 1 year insurance differential of the same vehicle new, give or take...
So a good deal, but we've started doing enough long trips to justify a second newer, but still cheap Saab (and still cheap to insure)... aside from rental cost, the other drawback is we end up doing long trips in cars nowhere as nice as our own... the $2k we spent for 5 weeks in a Forester finally is making us bite the bullet!
