Hi All,

I'm currently in the process of preliminary planning a 4 week road trip to the US of A next year.

I've heard from a couple of people that it's possible to get a free car for one of two reasons; the first being that a lot of rich people head out west to east or east to west for the summer and need their big flash cars there when they arrive, and the other was that car hire companies give out freebies as it's cheaper than having them transported.

I've searched the web but can't find anything in relation to this. Can anybody shed any light?

Also, if anybody has done the road trip thing, then I'd be delighted to hear about any experiences you had.

Cheers

Both are IMO urban legends.

EDIT : Done 4 road trips over 6 years in the States. Heard of this plan, asked rental agencies in the USA and none had ever herd of this scheme.
