No one-way drop off fees for car hire*
Iconic and nostalgic, follow America’s beloved ‘Mother Road’ in reverse. Start your Route 66 self-drive adventure in Los Angeles and drive through the beating heart of continental America finishing in Chicago, experiencing a memorable journey of spectacular scenery, famous Route 66 landmarks and historic towns and cities. Driving Route 66 in reverse means that you will complete many of the long drives in Arizona, Nevada and California at the start and enjoy more relaxed and shorter journeys at the end. You will also experience much hotter weather at the beginning of your trip and as you continue will appreciate cooler and more comfortable temperatures. Car hire is also often less expensive this way around, although one-way fees need to be paid when travelling in this direction.
*Please Note: The 'no one-way drop off fee' offer only applies for car hire collected from Chicago O'Hare Airport and dropped off at Los Angeles Airport. Please ask for full details. Subject to availability.
