Trying to figure out this summer road trip with gas prices climbing and climbing is driving me absolutely nuts. However I may have stumbled upon a rather unique solution this afternoon – fly somewhere then rent a car. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit crazy to take a plane on a road trip, but here me out.
The process is pretty simple, really. Just keep an eye on the last minute deals from your local discount regional airline, like Southwest, and/or subscribe to a bunch of last-minute flight deal newsletters. Rental car companies like Advantage will usually let you pick up your rental car in one location and drop it off in another aswell as offering unlimited mileage. That means you can fly to your destination and road trip home or even road trip there, drop the car and catch a flight home. Either way you’re saving half the gas money.
Again, I know it sounds almost antithetical, but when you combine all the last minute flight discounts, unlimited mileage and free days with plane ticket offers, rising gas prices may not be aslarge a stumbling block as they first seemed.
