Helpful hint: if you do rent a car at your destination, check your personal car insurance before you go to the rental office. You may already have insurance on rentals included in your policy and won't need to buy the rental agency insurance.
Our last trip to Baltimore, the car rental place picked us up at the campground, photocopied our insurance card and away we went. When turning the car back in, they took us back to the cg. We never spent more than 10 minutes in the rental office.
With our geezer discounts and a special they were running, the total cost for the rental was only $25 for the entire time of 5 days. We called the office to see if there were additional specials not listed on the web and there were.
Each trip will have different situations and as you gain experience in recognizing what works for you, it will be easier to decide whether to rent or not.
