I've found this style of door stop to be far more durable and trouble free in the long run as you can't guarantee that the rigid or spring-based ones that go on the baseboard trim won't be knocked off by a vacuum or bent by small kids and then the next time the door is pushed too hard you have a dent in your wall anyway.  

I also started requiring all my cars be cleaned and vacuumed before being returned (this cut down on expenses and also make ready time between rentals).I now consistently have my vehicles rented out about every weekend and throughout the week is somewhat sporadic.
