One-Way Rentals: Rent It, Ride It, Return It
Many people think of car rentals as a convenient way to get around when you reach a single vacation destination, like beach hopping in Hawaii or museum meandering in Boston. They take the work and worry out of planning your trip by allowing you to make your own schedule and adjust as you like, without being confined to bus routes, train schedules, and Uber availability. The cost is worth the freedom and flexibility.
These rentals are usually round-trip, with pick-up and drop-off in the same location or general area and not many take advantage of one-way rentals to broaden the travel possibilities. However, we miss so many opportunities when we limit ourselves to airport-only destinations. The areas in-between can be just as memory-making and stress relieving as their downtown counterparts.
Los Angeles to Palm Beach
Cross Country in Comfort: Los Angeles, CA to Palm Beach, FL
Why plan for a one-way trip in a rental car across the southern States? There are various reasons, including business and personal uses.
For example, if your company is based in Los Angeles - Opens a dialog , but has multiple locations that need to be visited in person, along I-10, then round-trip flights or car rentals could double the time and effort necessary to meet your needs. Using multi-city flights, you would still be leaving the local airport and returning to it for the next flight. This could mean spending as many or more days in and out of airports than you would driving, but with the added stress of meeting departure times and possible interruptions that are out of your hands.
Flying out to the furthest location and working your way back by car allows for an itinerary that isn’t focused on airport connections and operating hours. Plus less airplane and airport food!
If your family is planning to move across the country, then you may want to consider renting a larger vehicle for a more comfortable ride. Renting a truck through Budget Truck Rental - Opens a dialog or a moving company to transport your furniture across the expanse of North America is a great idea but driving your everyday sedan across could cause you trouble during the drive or down the road.
Joshua Tree National Park is a great stopover when traveling across the country.
A lot of wear and tear occurs on long-distance drives and that’s just on the car itself – your family members and pets can get pretty uncomfortable in a small vehicle, too. Renting a car – or in this case, an SUV or minivan – will ensure that everyone has the legroom, storage, and breathing space to make the long haul less stressful. Not to mention having the true American experience: the family road trip to see the sights, both historical and modern.
Along the road from Los Angeles, California to West Palm Beach, Florida are fantastic opportunities to see national treasures like Joshua Tree National Park - Opens a dialog , City of Rocks State Park, the Alamo, Space Center Houston (home of the famous Mission Control Center), and the Mardi Gras Museum. This is not to mention the professional sports fields, golf courses, art museums, award-winning restaurants, and random roadside attractions, like The Thing and the Cazabon Dinosaurs.

Mount Rainier is covered in flowers and hiking trails in spring and summer.
Short Distance Assistance: Seattle, WA to Portland, OR
If the Pacific Northwest is on your bucket list but deciding between Seattle and Portland as your starting point is difficult, don’t worry – you can easily do both. Fly into Seattle, check into your hotel, and then prepare to enjoy downtown. The Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Museum of Pop Culture are all easily accessible but hop in your rental car and expand your opportunities to explore.
Snoqualmie Pass has great slopes for skiing in winter and Snoqualmie Falls is spectacular to see year-round. Mount Rainier is covered in flowers and hiking trails in spring and summer. Want something a little lively? Leavenworth is a picturesque town for celebrating Oktoberfest. These are just a few of the day trips available from Seattle. - Opens a dialog
Beautiful gardens await exploration in Portland, Oregon.
But why be tethered to one place? Drive a few hours further south and you arrive in Portland, Oregon - Opens a dialog . With the ability to drop off your rental car in a different city, you can leave Seattle in your rearview and check into your new hotel in Portland for a new wealth of entertainment options.
The International Rose Test Garden is one of several beloved botanical destinations in the area.
