Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you’re about to head off on an amazing road trip around Great Lakes, a roomy SUV could be the answer. If you’re hoping for the best possible price and plan to stick to city driving, a budget compact is a clever pick. All you have to do is choose what’s going to be the best fit, pack up the car, and hit the road.

Generally, your chosen rental car company will bill the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may share your contact details with the relevant local agency so they can issue a fine directly to you.
