re: Do you rent cars for long road trips?

With road trips, you get to see the rest of the country. I'd rather be driving with the windows rolled down than miserable in a plane or airport.

You can also stop at multiple locations along the way. Can't do that in an airplane.

I wouldn't know anything about the country between here and L.A. had I not made the drive out there.

Whether you want to pay for insurance (if there is the smallest little ding they will hit you for a major repair as they do not repair vehicles with small rings until someone returns a car without insurance and then it all has to be repaired immediatelyz Whether you care about convenience of simply getting in your vehicle v. going to a car rental place to pick it up and having to be back at the rental place at a certain time.

I have tried it, but it is too much hassle IMO. Toneach her/his own, though.

Why don’t you just buy another car and use it as your traveling car?

We usually just take my Boeing 737

if the mileage on your car bothers you then just buy a cheap economy car like a ford focus that gets 40mpg or something like it. in the long run its cheaper then renting and if something happened to the rental your buying "them" a new car

That was how Raylan Givens knew a Marshal seizure notice on a website was fake. "If we had done it, we'd probably have spelled our name right."

We drive typically and we rent a vehicle.
