21-day Road Trips in the Eastern USA

It is possible to enjoy a USA road trip all year round, depending on the region you are travelling to.

For a Western USA road trip for example, peak season is from mid-July to mid-August. That is also when there are the most travellers on the road and prices are at their highest. It is also possible to travel in winter (mid-December to mid-March), but it is important to note that some destinations, such as the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon, may even see snow.

Travel in Florida is enjoyable all year round but be aware that hurricane season is from August to October.

It's a good idea to learn about the American highway code before setting out on your USA road trip.

And our blog article "Driving in the U.S." contains useful information, driving tips and some things you'll need to watch out for when driving in the land of Uncle Sam.

For your road trip to California or elsewhere in the U.S., it is best to book at least 6 months in advance.

To be sure of availability, or to at least make sure that the top attractions are not sold out, you need to book early. For some destinations, such as the American West, many travellers book up to 1 year in advance.

Availability isn't the only reason to book in advance. The earlier you book, the more you save.

So there is really no good reason to wait until the last minute to book your trip to the U.S.!

Should you take to the American roads in a rental car or RV? There is no wrong answer.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not necessarily cheaper to travel by RV.
