PLAN AHEAD ONLINE: With more US travelers planning to take a domestic trip within the next few months, staying closer to home is set to become more popular than ever. A recent survey by Booking.com reveals that the top US trip choices are a beach trip to the coast, an exciting city break, or a relaxing escape to the countryside. Whatever type of trip you decide on - why not make it extra special and tie it in with a road trip? The US is not short on scenic routes - now might be the time to take advantage of the gems right outside our doorstep and join in with the great road trip renaissance! Whether you're after an SUV for extra comfort and space, or something with a bit more horsepower, the Booking.com platform seamlessly connects millions of travelers with a full choice of rental cars - you can easily pick up a car from over 13,000 locations across the US, from both downtown and airport sites.
CONTACT-LESS SERVICES: With Alexa along for the ride, it’s easier than ever to navigate, stay connected, and be entertained on the go. Pair your phone with a compatible auto accessory to use Auto Mode in the app, which turns your phone into a driver-friendly display that helps you get directions, play music, check weather, build playlists, and more, all with just your voice – so you can keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Make the most of your road trip with a voice assistant in the car, so you can Pay for Gas, play trivia games, find local hotels and restaurants, check traffic, and more.

COMFORT AND RUGGED VERSATILITY: A road trip requires a vehicle that will offer comfort and versatility for any scenario. The 2021 Honda Ridgeline is great for road trips because it has the roomiest, most comfortable cabin in its class, easily accommodating friends and family – even the family dog! – with room to spare. Plus it’s the best handling midsize pickup and has the highest safety rating of any of its competitors.
