We are coming from NY and i was wondering if anyone rents cars and if so do you rent for the whole trip or just rent for the drive down and drop off then pick up for the way home? Is it easier we leave in 3 weeks and i still am unsure what to do any help would be great
We use to rent a minivan years ago to make the drive. When I say years ago, I'm talking 25 or so. It cost $400 for a week and half. Lol
This last two week trip in September was the first time our van sat and didn't move. We used Minnie vans. We just like to drive. We fly for work and driving is just a tradition for us. Our dd from the time she was 9 months even enjoyed the drives. (She's 26 now) Our trip this past March, she drove a few hours down and drove a good half way home.
If money isn't the issue, what I liked about renting was if you had a problem, ( hey, come pick up your van and give me another one lol ).
We for the most part drive straight through. Especially heading home.
I'm near Allentown Pa, off of I78. Coming home we leave at 3am and hit home 7pm for the most part. Where you live, how fast you drive, how often and for how long you stop all have something to do with it.
Timing out missing major cities at rush hours is the key.
I'm in sales so I drive a lot for work and I'm on the road by 3am everyday so early morning, in the dark is easy for me.
Most of us here like to drive as opposed to flying. We for the most part do it because we like the drive and we all have a list why we like to drive. Lol
I can't really help you too much, you live further south than me but I can tell you that you came to the right spot to get good advic. A lot of people here from your area who made the drive plenty of times.
Good luck and enjoy the ride.
