In my area, the majority of homeless have cars. A car rental can be more important than a home to rent for survival for more people than you might think.
Car rentals aren’t as much of an issue, because of how much less expensive it is to own a second-hand car. If you’re homeless and you need access to a car, you don’t go to a rental place, you get a beater from Craigslist for about the same price it would cost to rent a car for a month (if not less).

I work with a lot of homeless, and I have known a few who have rented a car in a pinch. But you’re right, most just have an old beater they own.
