> Rates are ~ $ 15 a day. $15 a day?! I see you haven't rented for a while. I went on the Budget Car Rental site (http://www.budget.com) and found that going to the rental office at the Los Angeles airport (the other LA), renting a standard- or full-size car, picking it up on 5 June and returning on 15 June, will be $311.41 for an Aussie (it will be $244.14 for a US resident -- they do record your driver's license information). So that's $31/day. Plus gasoline costs. That is down from what it was a few years ago (which was $60 - 70/day). > You could combine air travel for long distance and rent wheels locally > (LA to Chicago = ~ 2000 miles or +30 hrs driving). Now that's a good suggestion. I prefer travelling Southwest Airlines (http://www.southwest.com) when possible. The airports from/to which they fly are listed at http://travel.southwest.com/travel/exploreTravel.html?tabType=routeMap&int=GSUBNAV-AIR-ROUTEMAP , and includes Los Angeles, Chicago Midway, Milwaukee, La Guardia and Las Vegas.
