Need to rent a car in the U.S. or internationally? Here are 45 rental car agencies you can try
You want to go on a road trip, but you don’t want to add miles to your leased car’s odometer? Or your old jalopy just isn’t trustworthy for a lengthy trip? Renting a car may give you some options and even a sense of security.
But here’s an important reminder: If you’re driving out of state or to another country, make sure the rental car company allows this, the Federal Trade Commission notes in its advice on renting a car.
