Scenic Autumn Road Trips in the US

Many would argue the best time of year to plan a road trip in the United States is during the fall.  The summer months can be dreadfully hot, especially in recent years (road trippers can help by offsetting their carbon emissions), and who wants to be roasting out on the road?  Winter can be dangerous, and while there are plenty of winter holiday resorts in the United States, we say the best time to be out driving is when the leaves are changing.  Book a cheap car hire in the United States for a scenic drive through one of these beautiful Autumn locations.
