I'm thinking about California for my holiday next year. Fly into LAX, then go to San Diego, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Chico, Las Vegas then back out of LAX. Probably looking at around 3 weeks altogether. How much would car hire cost? We like the idea of a convertible but if a saloon is much cheaper I'd just go for that. And what would the fuel prices be like? I recall a previous thread by Fox about this, but can't remember how much he said it all cost. I'd be very interested to hear about anyones budget so I can get a rough idea.
The trip is very much in it's infancy, but it's something I'm very keen on. I'd be 25.
Totally doable, you will pay circa 30 quid a day for a convertible so not expensive or much more than a standard car.
