New York 09'

Driving up to New York from Maryland with 8 people and luggage in a small car could never possibly be fun. That is exactly why we rented an 8-passenger van from Thrifty at the BWI Baltimore Airport. The great thing about Thrifty was that it was relatively easy to rent a car from them; there was absolutely no hassle at all. We’ve traveled from Baltimore to New York and New York to Baltimore many times in the past and we were used to a cramped 3 hour drive that felt like 30 hours. Aside from the individual comfort everyone got while traveling another great thing was the trunk space. No matter who you are or who you’re traveling with I firmly believe that there will always be someone who needs to stop somewhere or get something out of their bag or suit case the van eliminated the unnecessary moving around, hoping over, getting out as well. The main reason for going to New York was for my parent’s High School Reunion, we drove the van to the park where the reunion was being hosted and parked right in front of the grill the van gave everyone a place to sit and relax as well. At the end of the reunion we went to our hotel. We stayed at the Fairfield Inn near JFK Airport the service was great, they had free valet parking as well. We spent the next day attending a family barbecue and catching up with friends and family we haven’t seen for 6 years since we’ve moved to Florida. We left New York at around 11:00 PM that night when everyone was tired, It seemed as if everyone but the driver had a relaxing nap on the way back because of all the room they had without overlapping on someone else. Overall the van was a great investment for our trip and we will always consider getting one before driving a long distance again!
