Your Route 66 trip will be very enjoyable if you do a little preplanning. The road is not on ordinary maps and there are very few road signs. We recommend you go to our website store and order the Route 66 Kit that suits your needs and budget. The kit will allow you to plan your trip in advance by giving you the materials necessary to find and enjoy the legendary road. Plus you will save money and get free trip consultation 7 days a week.
The best thing to do regarding rental cars is to go to the websites of the major international car rental agencies (Budget, Dollar, Thrifty, Avis, National, Hertz, Alamo, etc.) or try 66Rentacar.com and compare. Rates are very erratic and change constantly. Contrary to popular belief, with the exception of small local agencies which you will want to avoid, no one agency is consistently cheaper than another. It all depends on when you will be traveling, your departure point and destination, how long you will be gone, the type of vehicle you would like, when you order, how much they want your business at the moment, etc.
Hint: because of all the Route 66 travelers renting cars and driving East to West (the customary direction), the agencies have many more cars in the West. So, when you make comparisons, you will find the drop off fee for your car will usually be less if you drive West to East.
RV Parks & Campgrounds
Many people simply love their RVs, so they will drive theirs down Route 66 no matter what. But we have to tell you, taking an RV is not the ideal way to experience Route 66. Keep in mind, of all things, 66 was a tourist road crammed with motels, cafes, trading posts and a colorful selection of tourist traps—and it still is. That is what brings people to the legendary highway from all over the world. They want to stay in vintage motel and eat in vintage eateries. In other worlds they want to experience early roadside Americana. You’ll miss much of that if you spend your time sleeping and eating in an RV.
