Fly Drive Explained
by Female Abroad
Fly-drive is exactly how it sounds: it is when you fly to a location, drive around the area to a variety of locations, and then fly back. The most well-liked travel destinations to fly or drive are Florida and Las Vegas. Florida because there is so much to see in the state and because it is the cheapest and easiest way to get around. Fly-drive vacations are sometimes referred to as multi-centre, road-trip, or self-drive vacations instead.
Other variations of a Fly Drive involve arriving at one airport, renting a car, touring the area, seeing the sites you want to see, dropping the car off, and then departing from a different location. This is a fantastic alternative to take into account, but be sure to examine the fees associated with dropping the car off at a different location. Some car rental companies frequently charge a significant sum if you return the car to a location other than where it was picked up, especially if it is not a popular location.
