CavemanCharlie, it really is not that simple. The trip is Bermuda to Baltimore. Charlotte, NC is the route I get stuck with using miles. Having to overnight in Charlotte is part of the miles thing too. My destination to pick up my truck from winter storage is an hour from Baltimore airport which adds another spanner to the works. From BWI I have to work around a regional bus shuttle service schedule to get us where we need to go.
In less than 6 hours I could drive a rental car from JFK to the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, where the truck is. That would be great. Trouble is, what to do with the rental car. Nowhere to drop it off.
So, any of you reading this who grumble about an hour drive to go get your rig, I don't want to hear it.
The good news is, we are off on an almost 4 month trip so this flying all over creation to get to our rig is not too bad given the length of time we will be on the road, going past Charlotte again BTW.
Also the trip back to Bermuda in July is a snap. Leave Baltimore early afternoon & arrive Bermuda about 8:00P local, & that includes an hour or so in JFK & losing an hour to Bermudatime.
There's got to be away. But, like I said I don't travel so I'll take your word for it.
Couldn't your wife drive the rental to the nearest place on your destination that returns them and then drop it off there? I suppose that would get expensive.
Heck, sounds like you have come up with a idea for a side business for someone. If I lived in the area I would drive you for the cost of the mileage and a case of beer. lol
(No, I would not drink the beer until I got safely home.)
