Some offer unlimited mileage, others don't and give you a daily limit, and any additional miles over you get charged. I would also suggest looking at www.mapquest.com for mile calculations between destinations. That seems like a lot of driving and not exactly the most relaxing of time. Its something to think about. Alex from Moscow Alexander Sominsky Post Count: 5 Msg: #3 995 days ago, March 14th 2007 | To Lauralee. | 1) I have already booked a car in LA airport. The booking conditions include unlimited mileage. 2) As I have estimated, I will never drive more than 500 miles per day, and the average mileage is about 300 miles per day. By buisiness I often drive for similar distances in Russia and I have to tell you that Russian roads a bit differ of American ones. Many thanks for your reply. ldlb Denise L.

It is about 40 miles directly south of Yellowstone National Park. | It is a Must See!!!! The mountains are unbelievable! Please look online and include this in your trip. Good luck!

Absolutely spectacular. Tallest waterfalls in North America, oldest and largest trees, great hiking trails with amazing views... | Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 5 | |||||||||||||
