Gotta do a lot of back and forthing to lax fields and we'll do some fun stuff too, so gotta have a car unfortunately. I'll get it figured out. Currently eyeing a BMW X5 on Turo for $90/day but without all the crazy rental car fees its not much different than a $50-60 rental car daily rate.

I guess if its a fly to Wyoming and drive t California thing, that won't work, but that doesn't sound like much of a vaca anyway.
But if I need a rental car thats going to cost $4k, I'd prob just buy one and then sell it.

traditional rental would be based on what's being quoted here. If you put 500 miles on the van over 7 days you're still under $500.
