As a novice car renter, what do you suggest, renting a car at the airport or going to the downtown area to rent a car? As a first-time overseas traveler, I want to explore route 1, and I heard that it can only be driven by car, so I want to rent a car ?

Whenever it comes to picking up a car at the airport, everyone needs to be mentally prepared for long lines, especially at major airports like San Francisco and Los Angeles. It's much easier to pick up a car locally, and even easier in smaller city locations where there are fewer people!

Oh. But I'm afraid I may not have the Internet sometimes. Last time I rented a car in Europe, I was lucky and the car had a built-in navigation system that was really good.

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 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

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
