This time we drove in the western United States for 32 days, covering more than 8,600 kilometers, visiting famous national parks such as the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone in the western United States, and cruising on California Highway 1, enjoying the speed and excitement of Road trip.

I strongly recommend students from Salt Lake City to Jackson to bring a GPS in addition to Google Maps on their phones. There is a long stretch without AT&T signal, but using GPS decisively, we arrived in Jackson smoothly. The scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. Driving in the United States is different from back home. You know, without navigation. Will there be any problems with the GPS on this route ? United States Q&A

Thank you. But the car I got in Europe before was not my first choice. The cars in the same group were not let you choose. You got a car that seemed to be one level lower. Only after strong demands did they change it. When I called home to inquire, it was still not in the same group of cars on their list. Is the United States more generous? ? United States Q&A

In late September 2016, I need to consult everyone about renting a car in the western United States. Dear experts, our group consists of 5 adults and 1 child, and we are planning to rent a car for a Road trip in the western United States in late September next year. We will arrive in Los Angeles, then transfer to Salt Lake City, and we want to rent a camper to go to Yellowstone National Park, and finally drive to Las Vegas to return the car. Which car rental company is more reliable? Is there a camper of this size available for rent? What is the minimum rental period? Thank you very much ? United States Q&A

Some so-called experts have not been caught and fined, so they are talking nonsense... Is it easy to drive in the United States? Please do not mislead the upcoming compatriots... This is a country of rules and self-discipline... Most roads depend on your own conscious speed and driving civilization... There are cameras everywhere, not just where you see them... If you don't see them, they don't exist, so don't have any lucky mentality... Safety comes first when traveling abroad, and courtesy comes first... Observe carefully... Otherwise, you will definitely pay an unnecessary price... Have fun and stay safe, that is the ultimate goal ? United States Q&A

The Pacific Coast Highway, also known as State Route 1, is a popular scenic drive that stretches from San Francisco to Los Angeles. If you plan to spend 3 days driving along this route, here's a suggested itinerary: Day 1: San Francisco to Monterey * Start your journey in San Francisco and head south on the Pacific Coast Highway. * Stop at the famous Bixby Bridge for some stunning views of the coastline. * Continue driving south to Monterey, where you can visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Day 2: Monterey to Big Sur * Drive south from Monterey to Big Sur, a rugged and scenic stretch of coastline. * Stop at the McWay Falls viewpoint for a breathtaking view of a waterfall cascading into the ocean. * Continue driving south to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, where you can hike to a waterfall and enjoy scenic views of the coastline. Day 3: Big Sur to Los Angeles * Drive south from Big Sur to Santa Barbara, a charming coastal city with plenty of restaurants and shops. * From Santa Barbara, continue driving south to Los Angeles, where you can visit famous landmarks like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Griffith Observatory. Note: The Pacific Coast Highway is a scenic drive that requires careful driving, especially in certain areas with narrow lanes and steep drop-offs. Be sure to take breaks and stay alert while driving ? United States Q&A

I would like to drive to Yellowstone for 6 days in mid-June. On the first day, I plan to drive from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone, and I want to visit Grand Teton National Park on the way and stay outside Yellowstone at night. Question 1: Do you have any recommendations for hotels and restaurants outside Yellowstone? I have no preference for the taste. On the second day, I will enter Yellowstone National Park in the morning and drive for 5 days inside the park. Question 2: How should I plan the route to make it more suitable, hoping to visit all the attractions? Question 3: Can you recommend suitable hotels based on the route without too much backtracking? My budget is 500-1000 RMB per day, and I can accept 2000 RMB if necessary. Question 4: How can I solve the dining problem inside the park? Any recommended restaurants along the way? This is my first time traveling so far from home, so I have quite a few questions. I hope friends who have been there can help me. Thank you very much ? United States Q&A

The return fee in the United States is really like robbery! I returned the car at the Los Angeles airport, and the gas station was less than 1km away from the return point. After topping up the gas, I received feedback today saying that the fuel level was not enough. How much do I need to fill up to be considered full? Does it need to overflow? Where can I read the fuel level? When returning a rental car, you need to be careful, as there are traps everywhere ? United States Q&A

I have heard many friends who have gone on Road trips in San Francisco and Los Angeles say that their cars were broken into and their luggage was stolen. In such a situation, should we first report to the police and then go to the car rental company to change the car? Is the car replacement free of charge? Does the theft and robbery insurance included when renting a car cover the loss, or do we need to purchase separate glass and tire insurance? We have driven in foreign countries many times before, but this is our first time in the United States, and we have never encountered a situation where our car was broken into. We are not sure how to handle it if it happens ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
