One-way car hire USA

A 123-mile route of dramatic sea views, towering, rugged cliffs and gloriously untouched coastline, the Pacific Highway is about as epic as road trips come.

Winding down the coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles, the route is packed with so much to see, you’ll probably spend most of your time stopping to gawp at your surroundings. Must-sees include Hearst Castle, one of the most expensive homes ever built, Santa Barbara wine country, the untamed forests and secret beaches of Big Sur and the Point Lobos State Reserve.

One of the driving highlights has to be Bixby Bridge, a 260-foot high, single-lane bridge which stretches over a yawning gorge for more than 700 feet. This spot is one of the most iconic points on the whole route, so make sure you pull over at the start or end of the bridge to really take it in.

This route follows the mighty Mississippi from its origins up near Chicago, right down to heady New Orleans, taking in some of America’s greatest musical cities along the way.

Chicago, the home of the blues, kicks off the musical pilgrimage, before the route drops down into Kentucky for some bluegrass and country. Of course, no trip would be complete without a detour to see the King in Memphis – get all shook up in Graceland, Elvis’s eccentric mansion home.

After well over 2,000 miles of epic scenery, the route finishes in the Big Easy, so park up the car and get ready to let loose in one of New Orleans’ riotous jazz bars.

With towering trees on either side of the road, the route is especially spectacular during autumn, as the foliage turns from deep green to fiery orange, yellow and red. The route starts in Virginia and finishes in North Carolina, spanning over 400-miles of brooding wilderness – it’s perfect for a one-way car hire trip where getting lost in the wild isn’t such a bad thing.

Only the most adventurous souls are drawn to the ominously-named Road to Nowhere, a route that takes in some of America’s greatest and wildest country.

The deeper into the drive you get, the more of the old Wild West you’ll see, passing cattle stations, deserts and time-warp towns as you go. Spanning a whopping 1,894 miles, the route effectively splits the US in half and passes through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota.
