I am travelling to USA in four weeks time using car and rail travel. Trouble is when I have enquired about hiring a car I am being charged double the hire rate when I wish to pick up a car in one city and drop it in another 3/4 days later. Is there any way I can overcome this or does anyone know a company that charges less for one way travel than others?
Thanks.

Hello Maureen Rosemary


Welcome to the MSE site.:wave:

Your thread title made me smile.:D The next time you start a thread, give it a title that reflects the contents..............like 'USA car hire'.

I hope you're not offended by my comment Maureen, it isn't meant as a criticism..........only to help you to settle in.;)

If you have any questions or worries, send me a private message and I will try to help you.

Kind Regards

Have you looked at Dollar? Their rates for one-way are around $40 per day. Not cheap, but better than Avis at more than $100 per day.

Most rental companies will charge a one-way fee if dropping the car at a differing city to the pick-up one. The fee will usually depend on how far apart the two cities are.
Some companies waive the one-way fee if dropping off within the same state : i.e Alamo within Florida or California.
