You know what the summer is perfect for? Road trips! There's nothing like picking up some friends and getting out of the city for a day to explore, eat and shop. Don't get me wrong, Boston is fantastic, but there are so many other great places to go outside of the city limits.
Before you can hit the road you need some wheels, something not always readily available to city dwellers. Make things easy on yourself by checking out RelayRides, a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace that allows you to find the car you want to rent right in your own neighborhood for up to 40% less than the cost of a traditional car rental. And we all know what that means: more money to spend on road trip food and shops!
To find your car, just hop online and type in your location and rental period, and up pops a list of cars that are available to rent directly from their owners. From high end SUVs to gas conscious Honda's there is something for everyone and you'll be on the road in no time. My personal choice would be this silver Mini Cooper Coupe. Pretty nice ride for $47 a day, right?
So, where are you going? Good road trips are all about exploring and checking out new places because that's where you find those hidden gems that you go back to over and over again. I've eaten at some great restaurants and explored more shops than I can count but I always find myself going back to these places when I'm outside of the city.
