Build a smoother, cheaper itinerary

For many U.S. trips, the best plan isn’t plane‑to‑plane—it’s train plus car. Ride the rails along the long, scenic leg, then pick up a car for the last miles and day trips. You’ll skip airport stress, control your schedule, and often save money.

Where train + car shines

  • Big cities with traffic or pricey parking: arrive by rail and pick up your car outside the core.
  • Coastal or mountain routes with iconic scenery: watch the views first, then drive to trailheads and beaches.
  • One‑way adventures: ride in, road‑trip out—Hola Car Rentals shows one‑way fees upfront.

How to book it in 3 steps

  1. Choose your rail leg first and lock schedules.
  2. Pick a convenient car pick‑up near your arrival—airport or neighborhood.
  3. Reserve flexible rates so you can shift times if trains run late.

Example combinations (ideas to adapt)

  • Arrive in a major city by rail, then collect a car for wine country, beaches, or national parks.
  • Use the train to skip a long desert crossing, then drive the scenic byways at your destination.
  • Plan a one‑way road trip after your rail arrival to see more in fewer days.
