Curious if anyone rents vehicles for long road trips?
We are traveling to Hilton Head, from Maryland this summer and taking my daughter and grandparents, so 5 adults and a 2.5 year old.
I would rather not take TWO cars, then my father (78 yo) has to put in a lot of drive time, although they did it last year on their own ( broken into 2 nights). But our car, while it technically seats 7, it would not be very comfy for so many people plus "stuff."
We are thinking of renting a big minivan, van, or excursion? Any experiences, or suggestions? Hate to bare the expense for what was supposed to be a relatively inexpensive vacation ( as opposed to our trip to St. John last year for the same crew!) but it seems like it may be the best option...
What kind of rental car do you think would be big enough and comfortable?
Thanks so much for your thoughts!
