Title: vw rental
Post by: monkeyalan on 13 November 2006, 13:09

I'm in the process of planning a 4 week driving holiday down the west coast of the US and want to do it in a VW , preferably a Golf (Rabbit).
Does anyone know of anywhere that it can be guaranteed thats what I'll get and not some rattley piece of American built cac.

ta  :wink:

If you book through the Avis or Hertz US websites you can pick exactly what car you want. I don't remember seeing a Golf on there though. Avis does have some 'premium' models only available at some locations and you can get various Audi's. When you go through the stuff on-line there is an extra option to tick somewhere that then displays all possible car models rather then just the 'normal' stuff - you DO NOT want a Cadillac de ville!!

Sounds like a wicked holiday - Highway 1 is amazing :)

you've been then?

we plan to fly to Seattle then drive down as far as we can leaving a few days to chill and sort flights home from the nearest airport  . I think we're gonna detour inland to las vegas and the grand canyon aswell.

we we're gonna rent an RV but I don't fancy it TBH. I reckon there will be plenty of motels and we'll just buy some camping gear when we get there just in case.

My elder daughter has done it on a coach tour, but they went the other way Las Vegas, Palm Springs. L.A. then up Coast Highway to San Fransisco.
