There’s something so raw and pure and free about going on a road trip. It’s a rite of passage, a learning experience, a shot in the arm of pure adventure. It’s like your first time at sleepaway camp, except there are no counselors around to tell you what to do and where to go.

We don’t want to send you on your merry way without giving you a few pointers. So, before you set off on a thrilling journey, we think it’d be a great idea to run through CarRentals’s ultimate road trip survival guide.
