@Setanta,
When I am on a trip with a co-worker, at the airport I will say "I am going to go get a car." In this case "get" refers to rent. I will also go get some groceries (which means "buy").
These usages are all idiomatic... and vary from region to region.
I would also say "we don't need to take the bus, I got a car." This is colloquial, but we say things like this all the time (where "got" means "own").
