You might check the "driveaway" companies, where you deliver someone's car for them to the desired location. Don't know if the available flexibility will fit your wants, but it might... Larry Van Wormer Route 66 Does not end in San Diego, but Santa Monica. DH and I took a month to do this trip two years ago. It was the best trip we have yet to take. > Route 66 Does not end in San Diego, but Santa Monica. DH and I took a > month to do this trip two years ago.

I believe that sign's at the Pacific Coast Highway (1). And it's sociologically incorrect: That's where the highway ends (well, across the street) as most of the traffic came this way, not the other. -- ________________________________________________________________ Southern California's Four Seasons: Earthquake, Mudslide, Brushfire, and Riot. http://geocities.com/dancefest/ -<->- http://geocities.com/iconoc/ ICQ: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 -------> IClast at Gmail com [Content below asterisks not mine.] ******************************************************************* > Am loooking to do Route 66 from Chicago to San Diego later this year but > the > drop off fees for the car are coming at $500+, any other options ideas > appreciated! $500 is what I had to pay. you may get an offer for less but the odds are the difference will be covered in the daily rate, get prices from a number of agencies and make sure they include everything then take the best deal. Keith Try a car rental company, a specialty car manufacturer (sometimes they have to switch cars around) or a shipping company. Or try an entertainment company in your area to see if an executive needs something hand delivered (but thay may not work on a car trip and you may need to be bonded). or post something to find a person going in the opposite direction who will swap with you. > Am loooking to do Route 66 from Chicago to San Diego later this year but > the > drop off fees for the car are coming at $500+, any other options ideas > appreciated! Sometimes you can avoid the drop-off fee by going the opposite direction-- i.e., starting in SD and ending in Chicago. Alternatively, you could find someone who wants to go the other way, rent it for double the amount of time and share the cost. |
