Road Trip Tips

Count the miles both ways

Free miles cover the whole rental, so add the drive back and any side trips before you pick the days.

One more day or extra miles?

Each rental day adds 250 free miles. On long trips, one more day can cost less than the extra miles.

Pick the van for the luggage
