East Coast - Boston to Miami

[Rbarlow59877]

Hi Everyone,

Part of my East Coast USA road trip I am planning on driving as there is so much to see.

The plan is to pickup the car in Washington DC on the 3rd July and drop off in Miami FL on the 8th July.

As there is only two of us and weather is going to be so much better than the English summer, we want a convertible.

I've been quoted around £250-£350 (GBP) for the car hire but then the absolute ridiculous "One-Way Return fee" of $300-$750 (USD)!!!



-Has anyone had any previous experience with one way rentals?

-Which company has the cheapest fee's?

-Should I expect some surprise fees when I pickup the car?

-Would we be better with an SUV.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Russ
