Great advice, but as retiree's we had to watch our budget. We rented a car on 30 day discount [Budget], about $600 a month,and used upgrade coupons. We used the motel coupon books from tourist stops or fast food stops , just have to check in before 5, no problem since we try to drive between 9 and noon. We tried for the big meal for lunch, it's less expensive. Toilets are a problem, wife and I gotta pee a lot.McDee's, Burger kings. Wal marts have the cleanest rest rooms and serves food, let's you park at night if you can't find a room, and has the same merchandise store to store, including inexpensive necessities and new clothes changes.
