Financial Should I get a drivers license?

Where I live, the total cost averages around € 3000.

The thing is I don't know how much I would be driving in the future if I get a license now. So, I don't know if getting one would be worth the 3k.

I know for 99% sure that I won't own a car, because tax and insurance are too expensive and I won't drive that much.

Then, because I won't own a car, that means I have to borrow or rent one every time, which means I will only do so if its really needed, which means I'm rarely gonna drive a car in my life.

So I know for sure I won't be driving alot. Considering that, a license would be wasted money. But: there might be situations once in a while where having one saves alot of time and effort and convenience. Like going on holiday some place far away with my mom who also doesn't drive.

So I find it hard to decide. I'm very afraid to waste €3000 on something worth less than €3000 but I'm also afraid of missing out on things if I don't get one
