Here is my current plan. 1) Make a reservation with Hotwire (using the links from this site) 2) Call the rental agency and found out if hotwire rentals really have no restrictions like Hotwire told me. 3) If I am told no, that hotwire was mistaken, then I can get hotwire to sort it out. 4) If hotwire can't fix it, then I have the option to dispute the charge with my credit card company, because hotwire is commiting fraud (false advertising, false information) Hopefully I don't have to go past step 2. I will post back as this unfolds.

I would be renting from Buffalo, NY Here is an email I recieved from Hotwire yesterday when I asked them this same question.... According to Hotwire I can drive from NY to FLA and back with no problems. Part of me is paranoid that when I get the car back to the airport rental counter they will try and charge me for the miles, but at least I wouldn't deal with it until I got back from my vacation.

Are there any car rental places that have unlimited miles with no restrictions on the states you can drive in?? I want to drive to Florida next month, from NY and wanted to use a rental car instead of my own gas guzzlers. When getting rates from Hotwire.com it says unlimited miles are included, but with no mention any area restrictions. When I called a local Enterprise their unlimited miles was only good states as far south as Maryland. For rentals that go farther than that, you only get 100 miles a day, and $0.35 a mile over the 100. If hotwire won't tell me the agency until after I book the car how am I supposed to know what the policies are???? Anyone tried using a hotwire/priceline/Expedia for a rental with no restrictions like this before???
