My second favorite from Guero. Emergency Exit being first. Anyway...
The song seems to be about preparing to pass through the veil that seperates life and death. When night falls (death), it'll be okay, because there's another road after that (afterlife).
The rental car is his body. He's only borrowing it from the earth, and when he's dead, his body shall turn to dust and return from whence it came. He knows that he can't take it with him after he dies, so dammit, he is going to get as far as he can with it while he can.
I really love the "lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala music" part.
