Adv ~ Alamo Rent-A-Car

From coastal highways to mountain drives, the USA and its 50 States beckon with endless options for memorable road trips. Take the wheel and explore the USA to discover the unique character of each state.

A self-drive holiday is an excellent way to see more things while on the go. With so much to see and do, you will want to stop by often and explore whenever your instincts point you toward something interesting. Hiring a vacation car lets you do all that – and travel a little further and off-the-beaten track to experience new cultures, opening your eyes to the world.

Nowadays, self-drive holidays are increasingly becoming popular among Southeast Asian travelers with Millennials driving this trend. In Southeast Asia, Millennials account 135 million① of the 647 million population②, according to 2016 data compiled by the United Nations in its Asia Tourism Trends report. Along with the boom in mobile technology, young adults are opting for free, independent travels③ to discover new experiences, making their trips as adventurous and inspiring as possible. A self-drive holiday fits nicely into Millennials’ vacation plan, all thanks to the freedom and flexibility it offers, allowing them to do what they want and to try different things at their own pace and time.

Routes not to be missed!

Road trips are a quintessential vacation experience for many Millennials. Whether it is an annual tradition or a first-time adventure, there is no better time to hit the road!

• Route 66

The well-known Route 66 runs between Chicago and Los Angeles and runs through the heart of the USA, affording travelers some of the country’s most archetypal roadside scenes. This 4-kilometer highway passes through a marvelous cross-section of American scenes, from the cornfields of Illinois all the way to the golden sands and sunshine of Los Angeles, passing by diverse environs as the Grand Canyon, the Native American communities of the desert Southwest, the small-town Midwest heartlands of Oklahoma and the Ozarks, as well as the gritty streets of St. Louis and Chicago.

• Hawaiʻi’s Hana Highway

Hana Highway or Road to Hana is a celebrated 83-kilometer road running along the northeastern coast of Maui, part of Hawaiʻi State Routes 36 and 360. The road begins in the central town of Kahului and ends at the charmingly remote, rustic town of Hana, once the site of a flourishing sugar cane plantation and mill. With over 600 sharp curves and bends along with 59 bridges, the road is an awe-inspiring drive of cliffs, beaches and waterfalls.

• Pacific Coast Highway

The legendary Pacific Coast Highway is a marvel of a human effort that stretches over 900 kilometers of California’s rugged and beautiful coastlines. The road begins from San Francisco and winds all the way to San Diego. An astoundingly beautiful and scenic route that is meant to be traversed slowly, the Pacific Coast Highway affords travelers an unparalleled opportunity to dip into all the goodness California has to offer: pioneer outposts, surfing villages, farm-fresh foods, local wine, roadside kitsch, Hollywood glitz and bohemian sightseeing spots!
