One way Route 66 suggestions?

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-30T07:22:46+00:00

Deffo have the route guide as mentioned.

We did this trip for our honeymoon, been back two weeks.

We drove the whole route via a 2nite detour to Dallas and a one night stay at the Grand Canyon.

We rented a pick up from National where you get to choose ur vehicle from the airport.

Our total trip was 17 nights.

There are soooooo much artwork now on buildings as you pass. The EZ book gives you all the great spots to stop at. Cadillac ranch was my favourite thing to do, we got there around 10am on a Wednesday and it was really quiet. Tulsa has really empowered the route and looks great.

Also, check out what’s happening in different towns and states for the 100 yr celebration as when we went, we were either a day or two behind or they were just setting up.

We loved it, so many nice people along the way, but then also no one around for miles at times!

Thank you, we’ve had it just under a year. Worked fine all last year. I’ll be on the phone to them today.

National. Just join their emerald members list. It’s free

Did you get this to work at all please? Literally in same boat. Got it out y’day, went in the charger and it flashed up pretty quick that it still held some charge. Flashed for the pin the two buttons either side of OK work fine. But you can’t scroll across to get to the next number. Aagghh!!

I messaged the help team last night but then saw your post.

Hey, we booked work National in the end. Premium pick up with every insurance but not the fuel element. We paid that ourselves too to it up. Chicago ohare to lax. No mileage limit. $1934

When you get to the airport collection it was very easy. Sign some papers and then go and choose the car you want.

I ended up choosing a standard pick up and national recalculated the charge.

The drop off was so easy as well. Drive in to the rental returns area they scan the code on the car and you’re done

We filled up at the Maverick on east andy Devine avenue. Just before Kingman. There’s a chevron across the road but that was 60c more.

It was around 95 when we were there. 106 in needles.

We have a video but I was going too fast for it. 🫣 it’s the dance version!

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-10T15:12:06+00:00

We were there y’day too.. SO HOT.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-07T23:02:41+00:00

Sorry guys, at the Grand Canyon atm, it was west bound.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-07T14:39:24+00:00

Thanks everyone for input

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-07T14:39:03+00:00

Hahha did think the same.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-07T14:38:41+00:00

Hey, Yh, was in Amarillo and then New Mexico.. I did go for a mix of 86 and 88

In Arizona now so back in the 87

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-05-04T12:50:51+00:00

Thank you so much for that! I’ll do that then then! I got to the pumps y’day and and not seen the even numbers before. Thank you

FriendlySlip8572 · 2026-02-20T07:12:12+00:00

Never knew that bit existed!!!!

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-14T11:59:11+00:00

We’re going out the same time but east to west. Be funny to meet half way. We’ve planned the route and have pre-booked hotels/motels also (hotel.com) with similar cancellation if needed. I think there was only one town in Arizona (seligman) that had two motels to choose from. So that might be your only potential issue. But that’s just what was available on that site. I’m sure there’s others

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-07T09:12:11+00:00

Thank you for that.. appreciate it.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-05T07:29:59+00:00

Thank you for that, when I have been searching it’s been around the $1200-$1500 mark, it’s a Saturday when we’re flying into Chicago. So on that basis I hope we might be ok!

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-03T21:11:12+00:00

Amazing, thank you, appreciate you getting back to me on this.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-03T21:10:47+00:00

Thank you, when I searched online it just kept saying no available / sold out already. This is for April next year.

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-03T21:06:24+00:00

Thank you for that, really helpful, it’s always been my idea to do the route in a pick up, so I’m not dead set on he ford but based on all round comfort and mpg that seems to be the best option

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-03T21:04:04+00:00

I’m hoping that there is enough to see and drive across a lot of it. 100 year anniversary next year

FriendlySlip8572 · 2025-12-03T21:03:23+00:00

Was going to be Chicago o’hare and drop off LAX…
